BE SAFE THIS HOLIDAY SHOPPING SEASON
The holiday shopping season is unfortunately rife with crime. Protect yourself and your family by following these tips this season:
* Always try to walk to and from your vehicle with another person. If you are shopping alone, try to walk near others and park in a busy area of the parking lot.
* If shopping alone and leaving at night, ask a security officer to accompany you to your car.
* Avoid using bathrooms that are tucked away in a back area of a mall. Find a bathroom in a well-trafficked area and always accompany your child to the bathroom.
* Never use a video arcade or toy store as a baby sitter; predators are on the prowl for unattended children. More than 100,000 children are abducted every year, often in malls or department stores.
* Ladies, carry your purse close to your body, with the opening facing toward you. Gentlemen, carry your wallet in the front pocket of you pants.
* Consolidate your purchases into one or two large bags so you can keep track of everything. Never leave your purchases unattended.
