LAPD Van Nuys Division Gives Safety Tips for New Year's Eve
Here are a few tips to staying safe during New Year's Eve celebrations.
The Los Angeles Police Department Van Nuys Division posted on their blog a list of safety tips to follow this New Year's Eve.
Here's the list from the department's blog:
•Plan ahead by naming a "designated driver." Make this your responsibility as the host.
•Contact a local cab company to provide rides for your guests.
•Serve non-alcoholic beverages as an option to your guests.
•Stop serving alcohol to your guests several hours before the party ends.
•Provide your guests with a place to stay overnight in your home.
If you are attending New Year's Eve parties and celebrations:
•If you drink, don't drive.
◦Plan ahead and always designate a sober driver before the party or celebration begins.
◦If you are impaired, call a taxi, use mass transit, or get a sober friend or family member to come pick you up.
◦Or, stay where you are until you are sober.
•Take the keys from someone if you think he/she is too impaired to drive.
