Tips...

December 2010

Shopping Tips
1. Always inform someone whom you trust as to what stores you will be shopping and if possible, give them a timetable for the locations you will be visiting.
2. Never take more cash and credit cards with you than you need. Ladies if possible carry a small purse or billfold to prevent purse-snatchers from seeing an opportunity to get easy cash.
3. Always lock all valuables in your trunk and remember that some vehicles have buttons on the inside of the passenger compartment that opens the trunk. If possible lock this device away.
4. Never walk around shopping centers with a large amount of packages. As you make your purchases, place them in the trunk of your car.
5. Always walk to your vehicle with a group of people. You can ask a store security person to walk with you to your car if wish.
6. While in your car, lock all doors and keep a look out for suspicious acting people.
7. If you are robbed, remember that your money is not worth your life. Give the robber what they want and call for help as soon as possible.

Home Safety Tips
1. Always keep your doors locked while at home. Never open your door to someone you do not know.
2. Never leave your Christmas gifts out in plain sight. If they are under the Christmas tree, place the tree in a location where the gifts can not be seen from outside the home.
3. Always remember fire safety if you are using a real tree.
4. If suspicious activity is noticed in your neighborhood, call the police as soon as possible and remember to get a description of the suspect vehicle and persons.

Driving Safety Tips
1. Never drink and drive. Even one beer can impair your ability to drive. If you are going to drink alcoholic beverages, use a designated driver.
2. If you have a cell phone, be sure and take it with you just in case you have trouble.
3. Always plan your route and obey all traffic laws.
4. If you notice someone following you, drive to a safe location where you can notify police.
5. Think safety and do not panic if trouble arises.
