Bill Hominick, Security Director, Park Ridge Youth Campus Gives Tips on Security while Shopping Now let’s go shopping.
Instruct your children to contact a store clerk for help if you become separated. Merchants, instruct your staff on what to do if a child is lost or comes to them for help. You may need to lock down the store until the child is located.
Even though you are rushed and thinking about a thousand things, stay alert to your surroundings. Shop during daylight hours whenever possible but if you do shop at night, go with a friend or family member. Merchants, assist your shoppers by watching for suspicious persons lingering around your place of business. Call 911 if unsure.
Try to park in a well-lighted area, avoiding parking next to vans, trucks with camper shells, or cars with tinted windows.
Pay for purchases with a check or credit/debit card. If you carry cash, avoid carrying large sums.
Avoid overloading yourself with packages. It is important to have clear visibility and freedom of motion to avoid mishaps. Merchants, is your holiday displays out of the way of doors, passage ways, or do they prevent sight into your place of business.
Beware of strangers approaching you for any reason. At this time of year, "con-artists" may try various methods of distracting you with the intention of taking your money or belongings.
If you use an ATM machine, do you always use one in a secure location such as inside a mall or store? Shield your PIN number from the view of others. And make sure that you take your purchase or ATM receipts with you, rather than putting them into the trash.
