For holiday shopping tips contact the Briarcliff Police Department for assistance. Have a safe holiday season!

Holiday Shopping Tips:
1. Beware of your surroundings at all times. Have your keys ready before you walk out of the store and always look around. If you see something suspicious, turn around and report it immediately. Most stores have security or off duty police officers to insure your safety
2. Avoid shopping at night and alone. Instead go in pairs or groups.
3. Don't park in unlighted areas.
4. Don't carry a large amount of money or too many credit cards.
5. Don't flash your cash or credit cards when paying for your merchandise.
6. Avoid carrying a big purse. Most of your perpetrators think "big purse, more cash!"
7. Don't leave your purse unattended in the shopping cart or at least secure it to the shopping cart with the child safety belt.
8. Try not to carry more bags than you can handle. This will only make you an easy target for a purse-snatcher.
9. Keep all valuables and shopping bags left in your vehicle out of sight by locking them in your trunk, console.
10. Never leave children unattended. If they happen to get lost, teach them to contact a store clerk or security.
