Now that the holiday season is upon us, the Washoe County Sheriff's Office wants to help make it a safe and joyous season for all by offering the "Twelve Tweets of Holiday Safety" beginning on Monday, December 2, 2013.

"The Holidays are an exciting time, filled with distractions," Undersheriff Tim Kuzanek said. "Awareness and information are among the most important keys to staying safe. Our Holiday Safety tweets will provide daily tips aimed at keeping you safer while at home, shopping or travelling to visit friends and relatives."

The "Twelve Tweets of Holiday Safety" is a series of daily tweets with tips to help keep residents safe while at home, traveling or celebrating during the holidays. Tweets will be sent out Monday through Friday between December 2 and December 17.
