Show PG Police Department Captain Stresses Safety During the Holiday's by Captain Michael Smith Pleasant Grove Police Dept. The Pleasant Grove Police Department would like to wish all of our residents a happy holiday season. We would like to take a moment to remind everyone to be careful out there as the joy and stress of the season comes upon us, whether we are ready for it or not. Here are a few tips during this holiday season that hopefully helps reduce some of this stress. Wc have found that during this time of year, some of our less productive members of society have it backwards. They find it better to lake than to give. Please be mindful of this and take precautions as you go about your holiday activities. Please lock your vehicles and don't leave valuables in them as you park them at home, parties, shopping, etc. Don't leave jour purse or wallet in your shopping cart while shopping. It only lakes a second of distraction for someone to grab it. Don't leave your garage door up. The department has reports of things stolen from garages continually, even in the day time. In short, don't be an easy target. Another sad fact about the holiday season is wc seem to get more family fights. Your guess is as good as mine as to why this happens. I am sure the stress of the season stemming from finances, long lines and heavy traffic add to family issues and can weigh heavily on some. Please be patient with each other. Take a time out, count to ten, take a deep breath and walk away. Do whatever it takes to calm down. A hasty decision made in anger can have lasting effects. Happy Holidays |
