DUCK
KEY SECURITY DISTRICT
With
the establishment of the Property Owners' Association in
the 1970s, members began paying for island security
patrols.
In
1991 the residents of Duck Key proposed the establishment
of a Safe Neighborhood Improvement District or Security
District for Duck Key. The Monroe County Board of County
Commisssioners established a Special Taxing District - 2/6/92 Ordinance 005-1992 amended by Ordinance 012-1994) for the
residential island in February 1992 and a majority of the
voting residents approved a referendum to pay a yearly
non ad valorem assessment of $200 per household for
security service. The Duck Key Security District is the
only Safe Neighborhood Improvement District in Monroe
County.
COMMUNITY
SAFETY
Although
Duck Key is not a gated community, security is of prime
importance to home owners on Duck Key. Security personnel
watch the entrance to the residential islands and patrol
the streets regularly. Prior to legislating a security
district on the island, property owners paid through the
Property Owners' Association to provide nightly and
weekend patrols for the residential islands.
Residents
of Duck Key enjoy a sense of being more secure and know
that patrols act as a deterent to crime and provide
greater safety for young children . The District has a
roving security service and an
Advisory Board which make recommendations to the County
Commissioners.
PHONE NUMBERS
Monroe County Sherriff's Office - The Number for NON-Emergencies MCSO is 289-2430.
EMERGENCY
- Dial 911
Security Service for Duck Key -
The Duck Key Security Number is 684-0069 or 684-0033.
The
islands' geography also helps provide safety. Curving
roads and limited access to roads on the island act as a
deterent to crime. Residential homes are set apart from
the commercial portion of the island by a bridge and
canals. Through traffic is discouraged in that there is
only one way in and one way out of the residential island
community. Traffic is also lessened by the curved roads
and cul-de-sacs rather than access through a grid
pattern.
