Vote for a Local All Star!
Local High Point Police Officer has been nominated to America's Most Wanted All Stars. Please take a moment and vote for Officer Leonard!
Detective Ken Leonard began his public service career in the High Point Police Department as a patrol officer in 1992. He left the department in 2004 to work for a private security firm in Iraq. In December 2005, Leonard was seriously injured when a roadside bomb exploded. Because of the accident, both his feet were amputated. Five months after the accident, Leonard learned to walk with prosthetic feet and crutches. Two months after that, he had gained his balance and had his sights set on a police badge. Ken's undying attitude and his will to serve and return to police work drove him to excel, not accept his medical condition as an excuse. He trained, prepared and took the NC POPAT on two occasions in order to recertify and gain a position back on the High Point Police Department. He is currently a detective working as a gang investigator. The High Point Police Department is really glad to have him back on the force.

Win a $500 College Savings Bond and a Free Copy of the Safe Teen Driver Guide
Hi Everyone,
I recently co-wrote the Safe Teen Driver Guide with Officer Poer and other members of the Society of Family Insurance Specialist. The purpose of this guide is to help parents make the most of the time while teaching their kids to drive safely.
Driving School experts recommend that new drivers get 100 hours of driving before they take the wheel unsupervised. This course can help you do this but most importantly, make this time most effective. This is a 16 step home study booklet that provides an outline to follow along with practice exercises.
I am offering this $59 guide at no cost to parents that are willing to give a few minutes to answer a short survey. I will also give parents an opportunity to win a $500 college savings bond for their teen driver.
Visit my website to take this survey at www.teendriverinsurance.com/paramount.
Thanks and I wish you and your family a safe and happy new year!

What You Should Know About Your Teen Driver's Education
Hello Parents of Teen Drivers!
Driving Instruction experts recommend at least 100 hours of driving experience for new drivers before driving unsupervised. Unfortunately, the driving schools just can't give this much experience and it is your responsibility to make sure your teen has this much needed experience.
There is a way that you can accomplish this and make this time most effective. To learn more, visit www.safeteendrivercourse.com or watch this short video:
http://www.viddler.com/explore/TomWiecek/videos/7/
My friend, Master Police Officer James Poer said "Parents must take a proactive role in their child’s driving education. Unfortunately, the driving schools simply cannot provide their students the adequate experience needed to drive unsupervised.”
This time in your child's life is a very exciting time and by using a structured teen driving guidebook, you can make this a very exciting experience for your entire family.
I wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving!

GPS Teen Tracking Systems- It Can Save Your Child's Life
By Master Police Officer III James Poer
It amazes me when I see kids speeding around town as if they are bullet proof and invincible. All too often, this is why we lose kids in car accidents. Speeding is the number one cause for teen driver deaths and it's because they really don't know better.
Once they get behind the wheel, they think they can control their car at any speed and tend to push the limits. The problem happens when they get into a situation at a high speed and can't react quickly enough. Even professional car racers sometimes can't react quickly enough at high speeds.
When you add speed to any situation, you have what is called the "multiplier" effect. This means that the faster you approach an object, the less time you have to properly react, so the speed of your reaction needs to be multiplied.
So, how can you make sure your teen doesn't speed? Of course, it's up to you to make certain they don't and there is one tool that can almost guarantee your teen driver doesn’t make this dangerous mistake. GPS Teen Monitoring System- In my opinion, this is the best thing invented since sliced bread. This system works so well because the teen understands that if he or she speeds, you will know about it.Here’s how it works.
A small gps unit is installed in your teen’s car, usually under the dash where it can’t be seen. The unit sends a signal to a satellite where it is monitored by the GPS provider. When you teen exceeds the preset speed limit, a signal is sent to you via text message, cell phone, or e-mail.You can log into a special website where you can set the speed as well as monitor where your teen’s car is at any time. You can see how fast he or she is traveling and on what roads too.
Some systems offer other safety features like driving range alerts and driving time alerts. For more information, contact your http://www.teendriverinsurance.com/paramount agent for special deals on these units.
During my years investigating accidents, I have seen the effects of speeding and witnessed the deaths of too many teens. If more parents had these units installed in their children’s cars, I am certain more teens would avoid fatal car accidents.
Officer Poer is a 30 year veteran accident investigator. He is also a parent of 4 drivers. His experience, conviction, and advice are demonstrated on his website- http://www.parentalcourage.com/. Please visit his site often and remain vigilant about your teen driver’s safety!

Home Study Driving Course Helps Parents and Teens Enjoy This New Rite of Passage
High Point, NC — While teenagers look forward to getting their driver’s licenses, their parents often face this juncture of their children’s lives with fear and trepidation. Car accidents are a leading cause of severe injuries and death among teenagers all across the U.S.. Local insurance agent Tom Wiecek, owner of Paramount Insurance Agency, has been committed to changing that trend in the High Point area since he learned three years ago that a long-time client’s teenage son died in a car accident. Wiecek has dedicated his resources for helping families prevent similar tragedy.
His website, www.teendriverinsurance.com/paramount contains many useful tools to help parents keep their kids safe. He also writes a free monthly e-zine, “Driver’s Seat,” for which people subscribe through the website. Recently retired, Police Officer and Accident Investigator James Poer contributes to the newsletter.
Wiecek is also a charter member of the Society of Family Insurance Specialists which is a national organization of insurance agents that are committed to helping families protect themselves through education and insurance protection.
The Society recently released the Safe Teen Driver Guide that was co-authored by Wiecek, Officer Poer, David Evans, a certified driving instructor and other members of the Society.
“One of the most common reasons why teenagers get into so many accidents is that they just don’t have enough experience behind the wheel.” Explains Wiecek. Driver education experts recommend at least 100 hours behind the wheel before driving unsupervised. Driving Schools in North Carolina are required to provide 6 hours of driving time. With the high number of students in a class, it is very difficult for the schools to provide any more than the required time.
“Parents need to take the responsibility to provide their teens with more driving experience.” Said Officer Poer. “This new home study Safe Teen Driver Guide gives parents a tool that can help their teen experience the most common driving skills while being supervised.”
The Safe Teen Driver Guide provides a step by step outline of driving skills and practice exercises that parents can use to teach their teen to drive. “This time in a child’s life is exciting and should be enjoyed by the entire family.” Says Wiecek. “By using this guide, parents can spend time with their child and make this experience most enjoyable. Plus, it gives parents peace of mind knowing that their child is a safer driver.”
You can learn more about the Safe Teen Driver Guide by visiting www.safeteendrivercourse.com, or contact Tom’s office at 336.869.3335 or 866.869.3335.
