12 CELEBRATION NEWS - <strong>Dec</strong>ember <strong>2013</strong> Safety Tips From Deputy Weiland Holiday Crime Prevention By Deputy Weiland Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanza or whichever holiday you celebrate, is a joyous time of year. The hustle and bustle of decorating, shopping, cooking and planning or attending holiday parties make this time of year quite busy. With these events happening, people tend to let their guard down a bit more than usual. Unfortunately criminals like the holidays because there are more opportunities for them to commit their crimes. Recalling a previous article of mine, which advised that whether crimes occur, mainly depends on you giving or taking away the opportunity for bad guys to commit them. These are some common safety tips to help keep your holidays safe by taking away that opportunity. Home Safety Tips Schedule package deliveries when you are going to be home or have them delivered to a trusted neighbor, relative, temporary PO Box or your job. Keep gifts out of sight of windows or leave the curtains closed. Always lock your doors and windows, even if you plan to be out for a short while. Also make sure doors and windows will lock with any Christmas light extension cords running through them. Use caution and be aware of your surroundings at the ATM. Avoid an ATM in an isolated or dimly lit area. Deputy Jerry Weiland If shopping alone, request store security or a manager to escort you to your car. Vacation Safety Tips Many people take trips this time of year and leave their homes. Take a few extra steps before you depart to help ensure your belongings are safe. Make sure all doors and windows are securely and properly locked. Set your alarms. Have a trusted friend, neighbor or relative periodically check your home. <strong>News</strong>paper delivery can be placed on a vacation hold. Contact the Orlando Sentinel online at www.Orlandosentinel.com and click on the “home delivery” tab, or call 800-359-5353. U.S. Mail delivery can be stopped while you are away with several re-delivery options upon your return. For further information, visit www.usps.com. Set your home alarms and make sure the monitoring company has your current phone numbers. Don't “advertise” your new high-dollar purchases after the holidays. Break down the boxes of TVs, stereos, computers and etc. Turn them inside out or cut them up before putting them in the trash or recycling. Document and photograph the model and serial numbers of high valued items for later reference. Shopping Safety Tips Lock your car doors! Keep your full attention on your surroundings. A distracted person is especially vulnerable to robbers. Park in well-lit areas or ones that will have lights when exiting the mall after a day of shopping. Put packages in locked trunks and out of view. Thieves do their own form of window shopping. They look in parked cars for gifts and other merchandise, and will break through car windows to get at such valuables. Keep your receipts with you. Carry purses strategically with zippers closed and large openings facing towards you. Put wallets in front pockets or zippered in coat linings. Keep large amounts of cash hidden. <strong>Rob</strong>bers love those who like to show off their wads of cash and will follow you until the opportunity to strike happens. The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office can also be contacted using the non-emergency number of 407-348-2222. Advise the dispatcher that you would like to request “vacation checks” of your home. They will obtain information from you and your request will be sent to the deputies working in the area to conduct extra patrols. This is a free service. Lights, a radio and/or televisions can be put on timers to give your home an occupied appearance. Make sure to adjust timers to accommodate the earlier sunsets. Avoid “broadcasting” to everybody that you will be gone. It’s nice to brag about the two week trip to Tahiti, but criminals are tech savvy and use all forms of social media to check when you’ll be gone. Delay posting pictures on social media until you are home. The holiday season is a great time of year and can be very special with great memories. While we can never guarantee crimes won’t be committed, but by taking necessary precautions and personal safety measures, you can certainly help lessen the chances of you or your family from being the victim. Please meet with your family to discuss these crime prevention tips. I truly wish each of you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Please be safe. This is a series of monthly articles designed to provide information, which I hope you, the residents of <strong>Celebration</strong>, will find useful. Each article covers a topic that I have observed while on patrol, have been asked about or that I feel is important to share with you. Contact me via Town Hall at celebration.news@celebrationtownhall.com if you have suggestions for future articles.
