Home Safety Tips During 2020 Holiday Season
We can never be too careful, too prepared or too aware while shopping.
This time of year, many people will be out shopping or traveling on vacation.
Please share this information with family, friends and neighbors.
When it comes to Christmas and holiday safety, keeping your home safe and secure is an important task.
Many will be out shopping, traveling to see family or off to a holiday island getaway to truly unplug from the stress of the season.
If traveling please avoid posting your vacation and time-away-from-home plans on social media until you get back.
When posting that you are, or about to be out of town on social media, it makes it all-too-easy for criminals to track your every move.
So keep your plans private.
If you are considering traveling this holiday season consider putting in a Vacation Watch through the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.

Speaking of social media and the internet, many will take to online shopping for all their holiday shopping needs.
Don’t let boxes pile up at your door.
The holiday season is the gift that keeps on giving for thieves who case neighborhoods, looking for unattended packages.
If you can’t arrange for package deliveries when someone will be home to receive them, ask a neighbor to pick up the package.
That way it will be kept safe and out of the hands of criminals.
