+Tahoein' Bunch Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Has anyone had A CSO come to an event To try to educate the LEO's about geo cacahing. We are getting cameras installed throuout the city soon and they are a combination of HLS and LEO cams. I guess i just would like some advice on maybe getting them educated about our Hobby. Thanks For any Imput. Greg Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Its likely they already know. Best advice I have is to get with your local geo organization and print up a map of local caches to take to them. Bring this brochure: http://www.gpsmaze.com/uploads/files/GEOCACH_F2.pdf Offer to update them frequently of new hides. Approach it from the standpoint of avoiding an incident. Quote Link to comment

Thanks For any Imput. Greg I communicated with our city and county departments before placing a cache in a local park in town independently. The local police (who are usually fresh meat out of school waiting to jump into a bigger city job) were not aware of geocaching, so I took them a brochure and showed them where mine would be located and that others could pop up without warning in various places. They were easy to work with. The county deputy said they were already aware of what geocaching was and were thankful for the communication. Both, of course, cautioned about placement on private property and other public areas around schools and such and asked that we be sure that we are communicating with local property owners or departments controlling different public grounds.

I'm sorry CSO = Community Service Officer (Sometimes here in Fresno just a volunteer to help out) HLS = Home Land Security Quote Link to comment
+wmilam Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 The TLA's are getting out of hand. TLA = Three-Letter Acronym I apologize for being off-topic. Quote Link to comment
+Rockin Roddy Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Short answer...it can't hurt to inform the LEO of our little "secretive" sport! It might even be helpful! Quote Link to comment
