  Holiday Safety Tips:
As we prepare for the joyous holiday season the Riverside
Police Department would like to remind you and encourage you to take safety
precautions for a safe season. Please see below for great safety 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 visible 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.
• Make sure to roll windows all the way up.
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.

important to have clear visibility and freedom of motion.
