New Years Safety

New Years is a holiday that's filled with entertainment, parties, and excitement. However, far too often, the New Years holiday takes a tragic turn because of poor decisions. Here are some safety precautions that you should consider while ringing in the New Year.

  • If you're going to drink on New Years Eve, make sure you designate a sober driver, or use a cab or free ride service, and never drive while intoxicated. Driving intoxicated not only puts you in danger, but it also puts everyone around you in danger.

  • If you're headed out to a bar or club, only carry small amounts of cash, and only carry what you need. Don't bring extra credit cards and money you won't need.
  • Most people don't think about their homes during new years but burglars often use the holidays as an opportunity to break in. Some quick tips to help deter burglars are to leave a couple of lights on, ask neighbors to keep an eye out for anyone suspicious, and make sure to lock all windows and doors.

Remember, a safe end to 2011 is the best way to start 2012. Happy New Years!!!
