Holiday Shopping Safety Tips from Prosper PD

Shopping during the holiday season can be hectic, and thefts often increase. The Prosper Police Department is here with a few tips to help keep you safe. Stay vigilant in parking lots, watch for pedestrians and vehicles and avoid distractions like your phone when walking to and from stores. If you carry a purse, secure it in your cart using the child safety straps, keep it zipped and never leave it or other valuables unattended or in your vehicle. When dropping off purchases, place them in the trunk or out of sight, and consider moving your vehicle to a different spot to deter thieves. Always lock your car.
The Prosper Police Department will have extra patrols in shopping centers to help ensure your safety this holiday season and wishes you a safe and happy holiday!
