Safety never takes a holiday. The University of the Free State’s Department of Protection Services wishes the Kovsie community happy and safe holidays.

Heed these tips when travelling, away on holiday or in the street.

• Be aware of your surroundings and any suspicious-looking persons or behaviour (especially in queues);
• Report any suspicious behaviour or activity to the central security on-site or the South African Police Services;
• Be alert when leaving shopping centres. Should you suspect that you are being followed, drive to the nearest police station;
• Jamming devices are frequently used by criminals, so ensure that your vehicle is locked by physically checking it before leaving;
• All valuables must be safely stowed away in the boot or under the seats in order to avoid smash and grab incidents;
• Do not leave your handbags or valuables unattended while shopping; and
• Obey the rules of the road and carry your driver’s licence with you.Happy holidays! Enter 2020 safe and secure!
