Gulfport Police are conducting extra patrols with marked and unmarked vehicles to monitor the safety of an alternative juror in the Casey Anthony trial.

The unidentified juror had requested the surveillance after the dramatic trial ended four months ago with a Not Guilty verdict in the murder of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.

After the names of the 12 jurors and five alternatives were released to the public Tuesday morning, police say they have stepped up patrols.

There have been no reported threats or issues with the resident. Det. Sgt. Robert Burkhart says the patrols are being added as a safety precaution.

The six-week trial was televised and followed by people across the country, many of whom were angered when the verdict was announced.

Fearing for the jurors' safety, Orange-Osceola County Judge Belvin Perry ordered a three-month cooling-off period before allowing the courts to release the jurors' names, which are usually public record in Florida.

In his order, Perry said some jurors had received threats after the verdict was announced.

NBC News reported that one juror was so fearful, she quit her job and moved out of state. Here in Pinellas County, one restaurant put a sign on its window saying, "Pinellas County Jurors NOT Welcome!!!"

Burkhart said Tuesday that the department was informed in July that one of the Casey Anthony jurors lived in town.

According to police logs, the man notified officials because he was "concerned about the media on his property."

Burkhart says they are conducting extra patrols with marked and unmarked cars. "We don't want to attract attention but we're going to be paying more attention."

Because of the concerns for safety, Patch.com decided against publishing the jurors' names without their consent. Gulfport Patch was unable to reach the juror at his home.
