Holiday Safety Tips:
As we
prepare for a joyous holiday season the Riverside Police Department
encourages you to take safety precautions for a safe season. Below are some great
tips from RPD:
At Home:
•Lock your doors and windows before leaving your home.
•Use automatic timers for lights, television and radios to give your home an occupied appearance when no one is home.
•Avoid displaying gifts which can be seen from outside the home.
•Don't advertise what Santa's brought you by leaving the boxes visible in the trash. Break down boxes and put them in trash bags.
• When putting up holiday decorations make sure that doors and passageways are clear.
• Make sure that electrical holiday decorations are of good working order and cords are secured.
Vehicle Safety:
•Keep your car doors locked at all times.
•Park in well-lit, busy areas.
•Be aware of your surroundings and stay alert if someone approaches your vehicle.
• Don't leave valuables in your car.
Out and About Checklist:
• Walk with purpose and stay alert.
• Approach your car with the key in hand.
• Look around and inside the car before getting in.
•Avoid overloading yourself with bags and packages, it is important to have clear visibility and freedom of motion.
