Linden CPF urges residents to stay alert during Easter
Chairperson of the Linden CPF Annelise Tichauer urged the public to stay alert during the holidays.
As Easter approaches, the Linden Police Station and the Linden Community Policing Forum (CPF) urge residents to prioritise safety during their holiday festivities.
The chairperson of the Linden CPF, Annelise Tichauer, emphasised the importance of vigilance and awareness. “This Easter, as you celebrate with loved ones and enjoy the festivities, it’s important to stay safe and keep a watchful eye on both your loved ones and your belongings. Whether you’re indulging in a delicious meal, embarking on an Easter egg hunt, or simply spending quality time together, ensuring everyone’s safety and well-being should be a top priority.”
Tichauer added, “By staying vigilant and looking out for one another, you can make this Easter break a truly joyful and memorable occasion for all.”
In line with their safety campaign, the Linden CPF provided the following tips for a safe Easter celebration:
- Keep your handbag, wallet, phone, keys, and Easter eggs with you; avoid placing them on tables or in trolleys.
- Stay sober and attentive as being intoxicated can make you an easy target.
- Ensure you have a free hand or use a trolley when carrying multiple Easter eggs.
- Always lock your car and avoid leaving any valuables or chocolates visible inside.
- Stay vigilant of your surroundings and keep track of your children’s whereabouts.
- Maintain a clear line of sight when your little ones are playing in a restaurant’s play area.
As residents prepare to commemorate Easter, the Linden police and CPF encourage everyone to adhere to these safety guidelines to ensure a wonderful and secure celebration for all.
