When the time comes to prepare for holidays, we often find queues in stores, more cars appear on the roads, the sidewalks are not a bit more crowded, and people in this pre-holiday chaos lose their vigilance. However, for the holidays to be joyful, first of all, we must remember about security because a moment of inattention would be enough to lose what is important to us.
"We will look after the safety of the inhabitants of our region, additional patrols will appear on the roads, the prevention officers already control, among others, shopping centers, bazaars, and bus stop, because it is in these places that during the holiday preparations we note the most thefts," says young asp. Patrycja Kaszuba, KPP press officer, who wears a safety clothing with reflective tapes.
However, it is also worth taking care of your own safety. The police officers prepared some tips for peaceful holidays. Following these tips will help you avoid unpleasant situations and spend the holidays in a joyful atmosphere:
Separate the money in your purse and put it in different places. If possible, do not take more cash, unnecessary credit cards and documents for shopping.
Close the bag and carry it from the front. Do not put it away by paying at the box office, shopping or trying on clothes in the store. The thief is only given a moment of inattention.
Do not show others the contents of the wallet by paying for shopping.
Do not store documents and money in the back pockets of trousers, in the outer pockets of your coat or jacket.
Do not provoke a thief with clothing and jewelry. Pickpockets often watch their victims earlier. They pay attention primarily to people well dressed and looking prosperous.
Select the PIN code you entered with your other hand when selecting cash from the ATM. In addition, choose ATMs that are well-lit and do not stand out of the way. If you decide to collect more cash, it is worth to have someone trusted with us. Do not keep this money in one place. Separate them. Even if we are looted by a pickpocket, we will not lose the entire amount.
When traveling with mass media, do not sit in empty compartments. When traveling, try not to fall asleep. Look after your luggage.
Do not carry keys to the flat together with the documents where your address is given. In the event of their theft, the thief can also rob your home.
When planning a holiday trip, remember to secure the apartment - burglars do not celebrate, and the apartment is a tasty morsel for them!
Close all doors and windows well.
Ask your friendly neighbor for alertness and attention to our apartment, and in the absence of lighting in the evening light, taking mail, etc.
Do not leave more cash and valuables in the apartment. Valuable things can be deposited in the bank or photographed, written in factory numbers, marked - then, in the event of theft, it will make it easier to find them.
If after returning, it is found that the burglary has occurred, let us not move anything and immediately call the police.
When preparing for the trip, let's do everything to make it safe!
Use good judgment and follow traffic rules.
Absolutely remember about fastened seat belts and armchairs for children.
Do not sit behind the wheel after drinking alcohol, even in small amounts.
Park only in well-lit and visible places, and do not leave luggage on the seats.
