History of Harbour Island Security:

One of Harbour Island's biggest selling points has been and continues to be the fine security behind the residential gates.  Originally the security force was employed by the developer, Beneficial Corporation, and many residents came to appreciate the courtesy and service they provided.

In 1996, that work was outsourced to a third party company, who provided security services for many years.  The Harbour Island Community Services Association (HICSA) managed the security force at that time, employing 24 hour security at two residential gates located on South Harbour Island Boulevard (gate 1) and South Beneficial Drive (gate 2).

In 2002, many of the master association (HICSA) responsibilities were delegated to the newly formed neighborhood service districts.  The majority of the security responsibilities fell to the South Neighborhood Association to maintain the system and continue to supply the benefits of a controled access environment for our residents.

Our current Security Operations Manager is Richard Sloggett. Richard is a retired Tampa law enforcement officer where he served the Tampa community for 26 years. The position is an important one, as he is on call 24/7 and manages the security contract with a third party and serves as lead interface between contractors and residents within the South NSD.

The South Neighborhood Security Office can be reached Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 4:30PM.  Richard Sloggett   can be reached care at (813) 209-9300, x 516.  Should you need to contact the Security gates, the West gate (S. Harbour Island Blvd., Gate 1) number is (813) 307-9808, and the East gate (S. Beneficial Drive, Gate 2) is (813) 307-9609.

Resident Information:

ACCESS BEHIND THE GATES:

All guests of residents will be required to have photo identification for access to the SNA.  When approaching the gate, guests must be prepared to give their host resident's name and address, their own name, and a proper photo ID to gain access.  Realtors and their clients will only be granted access at the request of a resident or selling agent on Harbour Island.  Selling agents must fill out and return a Realtor Authorization Form, signed by the owner they represent, to be able to grant access to others as part of a sales process.

Contractors must also present a photo ID, and provide a resident name and address for the home where they will be working.  Contractor Hours are 7 AM - 6 PM Monday through Friday, and 8 AM - 2 PM only on Saturday.  Contractors are not permitted into the South Neighborhood Association on Sundays.

Residents can obtain Bar Codes for their vehicles that enables them access through the resident's lane.  Once residents have been approved by the individual neighborhood associations (where applicable), and have closed on their homes or leases, turned in their SNA application along with thier paymentand and have filled out a SNA data form, they will need to contact Richard Sloggett at (813) 209-9300  x 516 to schedule an appointment to have the BarCodeaffixed to their vehicle(s).
