Holiday Safety Tips:

We have developed some reminders for a safe holiday shopping and travel season. When you are out shopping remember these tips:

• Park your car in well lit lots and if alone park close to the store.
• Make sure to put your packages in the trunk.
• Make several trips to the vehicle instead of one huge trip.
• Lock your doors and check your backseat and around the car.
• Have your keys ready to your car and house.
• Keep your outside lights on for your return home.
• Stay alert and always be aware of your surroundings.
• Carry your pocketbook close to your body.
• Do not flash large amounts of cash.
• Don’t leave your GPS or valuables visible when you leave your vehicle.
• If you think you are being followed walk toward people or a store.
• The best defense is removing yourself from a bad situation.
• Make sure to view our Police Chief’s burglary prevention tips on this website.

Have a Safe and Holiday Season!
