Secure your home. Always lock doors and windows, even if you are going out for a short time. 

Stay alert while shopping. Keep personal belongings close, avoid carrying large amount of cash, and be mindful of your surroundings in busy stores and car park. 

Park in well lit areas. Chose parking spots that are well lit and close to building entrances. Have your keys ready before you walk to your vehicle.

Limit Visibility of Valuables. Do not leave gifts, bags or electronics visible inside your car. Lock them in the boot or take them with you. 

Protect your packages. When ordering online, consider using secure pickup locations or ask a neighbour to collect your parcels to avoid porch theft.

Be cautious with holiday decorations. Use approved lights and turn off decorations when leaving home or going to bed.

Plan safe travel. Whether driving to town or abroad ensure your vehicle is winter ready and keep emergency supplies in the car.

Celebrate responsibly. If you plan to drink plan arrange a sober ride ahead of time. NEVER drive under the influence of alcohol.

Look out for scams. Be cautious of emails, texts, or phone calls requesting money or personal information.
