• Always make sure to secure your home, garage, and property before leaving on a trip.
• Make arrangements for your mail; either have someone you trust stop by and collect it, or arrange to have it paused while you’re away.
• If possible, install motion sensor lights and security cameras on your property.

Don’t get Scrooged by a scammer…

• If you are buying or selling something through online market places, make sure you meet somewhere safe for all exchanges and transactions like a police detachment.
• Always be mindful about the personal information you post online. Scammers can use that information to trick you.
• If you’re in doubt as to whether or not something is a scam, contact your local police for assistance.

When decking the halls…

• Make sure your decorations do not obstruct your view outside of your home.
• Clear walkways and driveways of any decorations.
• Ensure your decorations remain on your property.
