Stay Safe This Spring Break: Tips from Security USA®

Spring break is a time to relax, recharge, and enjoy time with friends and family — whether you're heading to the beach, taking a road trip, or enjoying a staycation. However, while you're having fun, it's also important to stay alert and make smart decisions to keep yourself and others safe.

At Security USA®, we don’t just protect properties — we care about people. That’s why we share helpful safety tips like these: to make sure you, your loved ones, and your peace of mind are protected, even when you’re far from home.

Since safety is always in season, here are our top tips for staying safe during spring break:

🌐 Be Mindful of What You Share Online
As tempting as it is to post vacation updates in real time, avoid broadcasting your exact location. Sharing too much can alert potential criminals that your home is unattended.
🏠 Secure Your Home Before You Leave
If you're going away, double-check that all windows and doors are locked, set alarms, and leave a few lights on timers. Ask a trusted neighbor or friend to check in occasionally.
🧍 Stay in Groups When Out
Whether you’re out during the day or at night, stay with a group and never leave with someone you just met. Make a plan with your friends and stick to it.
🍹 Keep an Eye on Your Drinks
Never leave your drink unattended, and don’t accept drinks from strangers. Stay hydrated and know your limits if you’re consuming alcohol.
🚗 Travel Smart
Use reputable transportation services or designated drivers. Don’t get into unmarked or suspicious vehicles, and always let someone know where you're going.
📱 Keep Your Phone Charged and Accessible
Make sure your phone is fully charged when you’re out and about. Consider sharing your live location with a trusted friend or family member.
💼 Protect Your Belongings
Use a crossbody bag or backpack that zips, and don’t flash valuables in crowded areas. Keep copies of your ID and important documents stored safely.

Enjoy Spring Break – But Stay Alert

Fun and safety can go hand in hand. A little awareness goes a long way in making sure your spring break stays memorable for the right reasons.
