Holidays are a time when people like to relax, visit family and friends and spend time outdoors at organised events, the park or at the beach. While it's a time to enjoy yourself, there are certain things to keep in mind in terms of crime prevention and safety. We've placed these into five categories. Under each category, we've listed links to information and resources to help ensure that you have a safe and happy holiday.
