Augusta, Ga. – We all would like to think the holiday season brings out the good will in all men, but statistics show this is also the peak season in criminal activity.

Mr. Jasper Cooke, director of Augusta State University’s Office of Public Safety, says there are ways you can protect your valuables and loved ones and still keep your holiday cheer intact.

Some of his tips include shopping during daylight hours whenever possible, avoid overloading yourself with packages,  not carrying your wallet or purse if possible, keeping cash in your front pocket, and checking your credit card statements regularly for any unusual activity.

For more information or to contact Mr. Cooke for more safety tips, call Danielle Harris, media relations specialist, in ASU’s Office of Public Relations and Publications at 706-737-1768.
