Crime Tip of the Month: Summer Travel Safety
Travel by car
Keep your vehicle in good condition.
Make sure you have enough gas to get where you’re going.
While driving keep all doors locked and wear your safety belts… IT’S THE LAW IN FLORIDA.
If you cannot take your valuables inside with you whenever you stop, store them in your vehicle’s trunk or out of view of passersby before you reach your destination.
Travel By Air:
- Do not discuss your trip with anyone on the way to or while at the airport.
- Arrive early at airport, hand carry any valuables, stay with your luggage until its checked in, limit your information on luggage tag, sit in assigned seat
Ask the hotel personnel for directions to your destination and have a local and highway map in the vehicle with you. If you have a GPS, use it but be sure to remove it from your windshield or dashboard whenever you leave your car unattended.
