The time of summer rest has come - special moments for entire families. The end of June, July, and August is the period of vacation trips, rest in the mountains and on the water, and at the same time the time of intensive agricultural field work. Regardless of how we plan to spend the next few months, let's take care of our and our relatives' safety. Throughout the holiday time, policemen from all over the province will watch over our security.
Policemen will watch over the safety of travelers
During this year's holidays, we will again be guided by the slogan "I'm safe." This is the title initiated by the Ministry of Interior and Administration of a nationwide campaign, covered by the honorary patronage of the Minister of Interior and Administration, under which security campaigns in various areas are organized throughout the year.
The Ministry of the Interior and Administration together with the Police also encourage you to use the "My Command" application during the holidays, which facilitates the localization of Police headquarters and police stations. The application provides each user with quick access to information about the addresses and telephone numbers of police facilities. Thanks to this, even in a place that we do not know well, we can easily find the nearest police unit and we will contact it with a single click.
National Safety Threat Map
Another useful tool for improving security is not only the holiday period of the National Safety Threat Map. "Map" designed to allow any citizen to use it without any problems.
Using an interactive website, you can provide information about hazards in the area. All of them are checked by the Police and confirmed - imprinted on the map, as well as information about threats coming from police information systems. Thanks to this, we have the opportunity to check at any time whether it is safe in the area or to inform about disturbing situations we have observed. Remember, however, that this tool is not used to inform about emergencies. In urgent cases, we should call 112.
Before we plan a trip
Increasingly, when planning a vacation, we use internet offers. You can find attractive resorts, hotels and guest houses among them, but there are also advertisements posted by scammers who offer non-existent accommodation, extorting money as advances. Therefore, before we transfer the money for the stay, it is worth checking whether the entity is included in the database of the marshal's office, the commune office or the city's office. Look for the object on the web map, check its website and the opinions of people who visited the object. We absolutely should check the organizers and facilities offering leisure for children and young people.
Safety on the go
If you plan to travel by car, let's check its technical condition, lighting settings and equipment beforehand. Mandatory in the car should be a fire extinguisher and warning triangle, but it is also worth taking care of other items, such as a first-aid kit or a reflective vest with reflective tape. Due to the increased traffic on the roads, it is worth getting ready earlier and thinking about alternative roads. Thanks to this, in the case of obstructions on the road, caused by road works or a road incident, we will be able to go a different way.
In the longer route, it is worth to go well rested, preferably after 7-8-hour sleep. Analyzing the time in which we want to travel the planned distance, we should foresee breaks that will allow us to overcome fatigue and relax from the sitting position.
When using public transport, be especially careful in places where there is a large crowd. When traveling by train, avoid the empty compartments, and try not to sleep during the journey. We should try to keep valuable items, money, and documents with us. Let us also be careful when dealing with unknown people, especially let us not accept any food from them.
