Our Crime Prevention Unit recommends the following measures to keep your Cellular

telephone from being lost or stolen and to protect all of your stored data:

Never position your cellular telephone where someone can

walk/run by and grab it from you. Try to limit exposure of the device,

especially in crowded areas.

Neverleave your cellular telephone laying on a table or open area allowing someone

to walk off with the device.

Never allow a stranger to borrow your cellular telephone even if they try to convince you it is

an emergency or they need help. Once they take possession of the telephone they will run from the

area with all of your data.

Downloadapps that will allow you to remotely track, lock, or

erase the data on your Smartphone or tablet.

Contact the police immediately to report it so that we can hopefully identify the perpetrator and recover your property. By doing

so allows us to alert others in the area of the theft to be on the watch for similar activities.

There are a number of great apps out there

that work to protect your data and even some

apps that will take a picture of the thief and

email it to you so it can be given to the police.

Do not leave your cellular telephone in open view in your vehicle while you are away.

Criminals will break into your vehicle to steal your phone while you are at the gym, school, or anywhere

else you are parked for extended periods of time.

Always save your dataand photos at periodic intervals so you still have

access to your information in the event your device is stolen or lost. By saving the data using a USB Drive, Computer, or Cloud Service you will always have the majority of your data in storage

so that it can be accessed and downloaded to your replacement device.

Set the features so the screen automatically locks after each use. Make sure to use a password that is diffi cult to break and not

the standard “0000” that some people use. If your telephone is lost or stolen this feature will protect all

of your data from being stolen or compromised.

BuySafe Toys

If you plan to buy toys for the kids in your life, choose ageappropriate toys and look for labels with safety advice. For

young children, avoid toys with small parts, sharp edges, and electric toys that can heat up.

Always purchase safety gear in addition to sports-related gifts

or ride-on toys, such asbicycles or skateboards.

Be Safe and Save Money

with LED LightsElectricity bills can grow during the holidays if you decorate with

strings of lights. Consider switching to LED (light-emitting diode) holiday

lights to save energy and money. In addition to the energy and cost

savings, LED lights are much cooler than incandescent bulbs, reducing

the risk of fi res.

Every holiday season, fi res claim lives and cost millions in damage. Prevent holiday fi res in your home,

use nonfl ammable decorations; do not overload electrical sockets;

regularly water Christmas trees; and avoid the use of lit candles. As you should do year-round, ensure that your smoke alarms are working.

CelebrateOn A Budget

The holidays can be expensive, but you don’t have to break the bank to celebrate. Take a few minutes to decide how much

you can afford to spend on gifts, travel, parties, decorations, and other holiday expenses. Once

you’ve created a spending plan, keep track of your purchases.

Pay attention to food

portions and Exercise

The holidays are a wonderful time to celebrate with family and friends, but celebrations

sometimes involve over-indulging in sweet treats and heavy foods. Even if you only

gain one or two pounds during the holidays, these gains can add up over the years. The

holidays are probably not the ideal time to try to lose weight,

but you can take steps to maintain your weight.

Give The GiftOf Service

Sometimes the greatest gift you can give to others is service.

Studies show that reading to a child just three hours a week

signifi cantly improves his or her reading skills. If you help out

at a local soup kitchen or food bank, you are directly providing

meals to hungry individuals.

Pack for Hassel-Free

Air TravelYou can get through the airport security line faster by traveling

with unwrapped gifts and following the “3-1-1 rule” when

carrying on liquids. You may have favorite liquid food items

(like conch salad or special sauces) that you want to share

during the holidays, but it’s best to put such items in your

checked bag or ship them ahead of time.

Find SeasonalEmploymentEven in a tough economy,

businesses need extra help around the holidays. Seasonal

employment can help supplement your incomeand potentially lead to a

permanent position.

Reduce HolidayWaste

The holiday season includes many opportunities to reduce

waste, recycle, and reuse items. Did you know that

about 40 percent of all battery sales occur during the holiday

season? Consider buying rechargeable batteries (and

a charger) for electronic gifts to help reduce the amount of

harmful materials thrown away. After the holidays, look for ways to recycle your tree instead of

sending it to a landfi ll.

Get ThroughThe Holiday

BluesThe holidays aren’t joyous for

everyone. This time of year can bring stress and feelings of

loneliness. Exercise, focusing on positive relationships, and doing things that you fi nd rewarding

can help with depression.

KeepFood Safe

Holiday buffets are convenient ways to entertain a crowd, but

leaving food out for long periods of time can invite bacteria that

cause foodborne illness. To keep your holiday foods safe, cook them thoroughly; use shallow containers; never leave them sitting out for more than two hours; and keep them at the appropriate temperature. Get more food safety tips to help

keep your guests healthy.
