Safety Tips this<br />
holiday season<br />
and every day<br />
This holiday season and throughout<br />
the year, <strong>Palo</strong> <strong>Alto</strong> Police Department<br />
recommends safety tips to promote<br />
and enhance public safety. If you see<br />
something suspicious, say something.<br />
This holiday season, bring delivery boxes<br />
inside immediately once delivered.<br />
Generally, stay alert and trust your<br />
instincts. Always lock your house, car<br />
doors, and gates. Consider using motionsensing<br />
lighting and a home alarm<br />
system, and do not give identifying<br />
information to anyone you have not<br />
initiated contact with yourself. Contact<br />
PAPD’s 24-hour dispatch center at (650)<br />
329-2413 if you do see something<br />
suspicious. In an emergency, call 9-1-1.<br />
