Here are some Holiday travel tips from OPD that can help keep you and your home safe while you are away:

1.  Never leave clues that you are on vacation such as social media posts.

2. Have a trusted friend or neighbor collect mail, newspapers, packages, etc.

3. Park a vehicle in your driveway to make it appear that you are present.
