With the Christmas holiday shopping season getting underway, I would like to suggest a number of ways to make sure that your purchases make it under the Christmas tree and not into the hands of an opportunistic thief. During this time of the year, we have in the past, seen a rather disturbing trend that has seen sadness and not the joy that the season should bring. Some safe shopping tips are: 1) Keep wallets and purses safely secured on your person at all times, not left unattended in a shopping cart as you go looking for that perfect gift. 2) Don't carry large amounts of currency. Utilize debit and or credit cards and only carry those cards you are planning to use. Remember to always protect and shield your PIN number from wondering eyes. 3) If using cash, only obtain it from recognized financial institution banking machines and not stand alone ATM's as many of the standalone units are known to be targets of various skimming devices. 4) Don't carry large amounts of gifts. These could block you view and a mishap can happen. 5) If you must leave your purchase in your vehicle secure them in a trunk or in the case of sport utility vehicles or pickup trucks, place them on the floor and cover them with a blanket. 6) Always make sure your vehicle is locked both in the store parking lot and at home. 7) Shop during the day if possible. 8) If you must shop at night, park your vehicle in a well-lit area where you can quickly and easily find it. 9) When travelling to your parked vehicle do so with keys ready and once in lock all your doors again. 10) Report any suspicious activity to store security or to Police immediately. All businesses should exercise caution at this time of year through reinforcement and review of crime prevention measures. Ensuring that all staff review current internal crime prevention policies, are aware of their surroundings and noticing the behaviour of clients, can go a long way towards preventing a possible crime. Also it is important to make certain that time deposit safes are in place and locked, video surveillance measures are in place and properly adjusted to assist in the identification of persons should a crime occur. In order to minimize any potential financial losses, managers should see that minimal amounts of cash are available at any given time. Routines with respect to the handling of cash should be avoided and staff charged with the transportation of money to a financial institution should do so in the company of other staff at times that should vary. I encourage business owners and employees to contact Police immediately should they observe any suspicious activity or persons either in or around their business. To report a crime in the Town of Wasaga Beach, please call 1-888-310-1122 and if the crime is ongoing call “911”.
