· Lock the doors of your home and vehicle.
· If you have a gathering, keep it small and limit it to people you know.
· If you live in areas with high pedestrian traffic, keep your gathering indoors.
· Call the Police Department to assist you if you find people you didn’t invite.
· Please—plan ahead for a designated driver.
· Don’t let intoxicated persons leave alone.
