Holiday Safety Tips

Safety First

Be aware of your surroundings at all times. Criminals often confront people who are distracted.
Secure all pocketbooks, handbags and book bags properly.
Never walk away from your property, not even for a minute!!
Carry your purse close to your body. Place one end of the purse in your palm and the other in the bend of the elbow. Never carry a purse by the handle or strap.
Carry your wallet in a breast pocket of your jacket or the front pockets of your pants. Rear pants pockets are to easy to pick!
Carry only the amount of cash that you need. If you do carry large sums of cash, divide them between your pockets, purse and wallet.
Record credit card numbers for all the cards you own. This will help in the event they are lost or stolen.
Travel on well lit streets and populated areas. When possible, travel with a friend.
Never walk through back alleys or on dark secluded streets.
Be wary of con artists. Con artists use a number of ploys to separate you from your valuables. Remember, "if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is."
Don't wait until you get to your front door to look for your keys, have them ready before you get to the door.
TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS!!
DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!!
