Staying safe during the festivities of the months of November and December is something the OPP is encouraging. There may be many social events for people to attend and the police want you enjoy yourself. Here are some suggested precautionary measures to consider:
There are many ways you can keep yourself safe and these include:
• Not accepting drinks from other people.
• Keep your drink with you at all times and if you realize you left it unattended, get a new one.
• If someone offers you a drink, go with the person to order it and watch it being prepared.
• Don’t drink anything that tastes or smells strange.
• If you are consuming alcohol at a function, have a non-drinking friend with you.
• If you feel drunk and haven’t had any alcohol or if you feel like the effects of drinking alcohol are stronger than usual, get help immediately.
• Prior to the social event, make plans for your ride home.
• Never accept rides from a stranger.
