The holiday season is the most festive time of the year—crowded stores, late-night shopping, busy parking lots, and lots of running around. But with all the excitement comes a rise in theft, distractions, and moments where you might feel uneasy or vulnerable.
At CPSS, we want your holiday season to be filled with joy, not stress. Whether you’re shopping alone, meeting up with a marketplace seller, or navigating a dark parking garage after grabbing last-minute gifts, your personal safety matters.
That’s why your CPSS mobile app includes one powerful tool designed just for moments like these:
The CPSS Personal Safety Button.
🎁 Holiday Shopping Safety Tips for You and Your Family
1. Stay Aware in Crowded Stores
Holiday displays, noise, and long lines can make it easy to lose track of your surroundings. Keep your bag zipped, your phone secure, and valuables close.
2. Park in Well-Lit Areas
Try to park near entrances, under lights, or close to other vehicles. Avoid remote corners of parking lots—especially at night.
3. Hold Your Keys Before You Walk Out
Have your keys in hand as you walk to your car. It helps you get in quickly and keeps your hands free.
4. Keep Purchases Out of Sight
Put shopping bags in your trunk or cover them. Thieves target vehicles with visible purchases.
5. Trust Your Instincts
If something feels off—a person following you, a dark area, an uncomfortable interaction—don’t ignore that feeling. Acting early is smarter than acting too late.
That’s exactly when the CPSS Personal Safety Button becomes your most valuable holiday companion.
