OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. – A coalition of local businesses in Kissimmee is trying to grow its neighborhood watch–style safety group aimed at protecting employees, visitors and the tourism industry by sharing information and coordinating with law enforcement and emergency management.
The Osceola Chamber Tourism Safety Coalition, led in part by Jim Nickels, director of sales for the Calypso Cay Way Holiday Inn Express on Vine Street, meets regularly to discuss incidents ranging from e‑bike theft to cybercrime and to develop common responses.
