Holiday safety tips from Protective Services With the holidays upon us, now is a good time to remind everyone about crime prevention and driver's safety. Always be aware of your surroundings, especially if you are shopping alone. If you feel uncomfortable or believe you are being followed, ask a store employee or story security to escort you to your car.
Many malls provide free escorts.
If you are in a situation that makes you feel uncomfortable, leave. Don't worry about hurting someone's feelings, your safety is your only concern. It is always a good idea to make sure all of your deadbolts and other locks are in good working order. If you don't have one, have a one-way door viewer installed. If you leave for any trips, use randomly programmed light timers.
