WEEKEND SAFETY TIPS  ― A few helpful safety tips

By James Barksdale | March 18, 2020 - 8:10 PM

With the weekend just around the corner and corona virus rising on streets plus youth heading to the streets and the clubs, the SAN NEWS NETWORK would like to remind you of a few helpful safety tips that will make sure you enjoy your weekend and return to your homes safe and sound.

When you head out to an environment where believe you may consume alcohol, make sure you plan ahead. Designated drivers, taxi services, public transportation and other means of keeping you off the wheel in those moments of uncertainty under the influence will keep the roads safe, and keep you safely out of trouble. Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is dangerous and illegal.

When going out, it is highly advised that you lock and close the entry points (doors, windows, etc) to your house, apartment and vehicle. Although the department invests in all possible means of proactive crime suppression and crime detection to protect you from criminals, going over these basic safety points will help us do our job better, and help you be as safe as possible when your property is left unwatched.

When parked, it is best if you choose a well lit parking spot which will aid our uniformed officers at locating your vehicle and assuring its state in case someone tries to steal it. More importantly, if you happen to have kids with you, we urge you not to leave them in closed spaces and parked vehicles. In daylight, vehicles may reach temperatures of over 60 degrees Celsius and cause immediate and clear danger to young ones or animals that are left unsupervised.

At the weekend's peak times, the streets are flooded with people looking to enjoy and make the best out of their weekend. Traffic is heavy during these hours. We would like to to take course of this opportunity to remind you of the common courtesy of adhering to the rules of the road;

Whether you are a pedestrian or a driver - don't put your life in the hands of others! Stop at the white stop lines at intersections, slow down at designated speed zones, only use cross-walks to cross the roads and focus on your surroundings. The department's uniformed officers and Traffic Officers will be there to enforce these traffic regulations and to keep the streets safe.
