As the holiday season unfolds, it’s a time for joy, family gatherings, and creating lasting memories. At East Texas Security Training Academy (ETXSTA), we understand the importance of celebrating the season while ensuring the safety and security of our community. Here’s how we can help you make the most of this magical time of year.
Holiday Safety Tips
Stay Alert While ShoppingThe holiday rush often means crowded stores and busy parking lots. Be mindful of your surroundings, and always secure your belongings. When shopping at night, park in well-lit areas and keep your purchases out of sight in your vehicle.
Secure Your HomeWhether you're traveling to visit family or just out for a festive evening, make sure your home is secure. Lock all doors and windows, and consider using timers for lights to give the appearance of occupancy.
Travel SafelyIf your holiday plans involve road trips, ensure your vehicle is road-ready. Keep an emergency kit handy, including blankets, flashlights, and non-perishable snacks.
Celebrate ResponsiblyWhile holiday parties are a highlight of the season, make responsible choices. If you plan to drink, have a designated driver or use a ride-share service.
Why Security Training Matters During the Holidays
The holiday season often sees a rise in theft, scams, and other crimes. Knowing how to protect yourself and your loved ones is invaluable. At ETXSTA, we offer comprehensive security training courses to prepare you for any situation, including:
Self-Defense Training: Empower yourself with the skills to stay safe in any environment.
Texas License to Carry (LTC): Ensure you’re equipped with the knowledge and credentials to responsibly carry a firearm.
Situational Awareness Workshops: Learn to recognize and react to potential threats.
