Holiday
Safety Tips
The Sacramento
Police Department wants to offer a few safety tips to help
the public in having a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend.
Vacation
Safety
Have a neighbor look after your home to collect newspapers
and mail while you are gone.
Lock all doors and windows before leaving.
Put your lights on a timer.
Turn the telephone ringer on low.
ATM
Awareness
Don’t go to an ATM after dark. Use an ATM inside a grocery
store after dark.
Be aware who is around you.
Put your money away immediately. Don’t carry it around
in your hand, or count it.
Shopping
Safety
Park smart…Park in well-lit areas, and close to your destination.
Don’t keep valuables and packages in your vehicle for all
to see.
Don’t resist an armed robber.
If you carry a purse, make sure the straps are across your
chest.
Deep your keys ready in your hand when going back to your
car. Don’t wait until you get back to your car to search
through your bag or pocket for car keys.
Shop with a friend. Most personal attacks and robberies
will happen when you are alone and vulnerable.
Carry very little cash.
Pay attention. Walking and talking on a cellular telephone
can divert you attention.
The
Sacramento Police Department wishes you a Happy and safe Holiday!
