SAFE HOLIDAY SHOPPING
The holiday shopping season is upon us! Practice safe shopping procedures – such as always being aware of your surroundings, not walking and talking on your phone, and keeping valuables out of sight in your vehicle. Both of the car burglaries last week involved property that was left in the back seat or on the floor. Don’t make yourself an easy target. **See the attached bulletin from the National Crime Prevention Council for additional holiday safety tips.
