The Denison Police Department wishes you a safe and happy holiday season. So, to assist you with that, here are some ways to keep safety at the top of your holiday shopping list.
Take a friend or family member with you.
Keep car doors locked and set your car alarm.
Watch for other cars or people in parking lots, and back out of parking spaces slowly.
Save your receipts and monitor your credit card activity.
Don't argue or fight over an item.
If shopping with children, select a central location to meet in case you are separated. Teach kids how to identify and ask a security guard or employee for help if they're lost.
Ask store security to escort you to your vehicle if you feel uneasy.
Report ANY suspicious activity immediately.
Keep your devices up to date to avoid information-stealing malware.
Protect your payment information by using trusted Wi-Fi sources.
Donate to trusted organizations on official websites only.
Make sure websites are legit before giving payment info.
