On November 24, many will be partaking in Black Friday sales at stores all around the Quad Cities.  The Prescott Valley Police Department wants to offer some safety tips for those who will be doing some holiday shopping.

• Plan Ahead – create a shopping list to stay focused and on budget.
• Stay Aware – Keep your senses sharp and be mindful of your surroundings.
• Well-Lit Areas – Stick to well-lit paths, ensuring a bright and secure shopping experience.
• Smart Parking – Pick well-lit parking spaces for added safety and stay alert.
• Emergency Ready – Have emergency contacts handy for peace of mind.

 If you want to avoid the checkout lines and decide to shop online, shop on trusted websites, beware of email and social media scams, and enable two-step verifications to protect your online identity.

The Prescott Valley Police Department wishes everyone a happy, healthy, and safe Thanksgiving!
