Safe Communities Portugal and Amigos do Museu do Traje in Sāo Brás de Alportel have joined forces in holding a “Safe Christmas and Festive Period Seminar”. This will take place at Museu do Traje in Sāo Brás de Alportel on Friday 17th November from 1700 hrs to 1900 hrs, and everyone is welcome to attend.

The aim of the gathering is to learn more about the operations of the Guarda Nacional Republicana (GNR) and the Autoridade Nacional de Segurança Rodoviária (ANSR) (National Road Safety Authority) over the Christmas and New Year festive period, in terms of their priorities and tips we can learn from them in order to have a safe festive period. Information will also be provided by Camara do Municipal de Sāo Brás de Alportel.

The focus will be on: Security of property over Christmas period especially if property will be empty, safe driving, Police enforcement and processes, reporting suspicious activities and crime, on-line scams especially shopping scams and safety tips.

Apart from the presenters we are honoured that Coronel Carlos Almeida Comandante do Comando Territorial de Faro da GNR, as well as Senhor Presidente da ANSR, Professor Doutor Rui Ribeiro will be present, so this will be a good opportunity to meet them personally.

There will be plenty of time for engagement with the presenters, as one of the aims is to discuss and answer your questions, on topics of interest to you. As we know during this period, people maybe away on holiday leaving their property unoccupied, pre-Christmas shopping on-line with the potential for scams, as well as a seasonable increase in road accidents and issues such as drink driving.

The location is: R. Dr. José Dias Sancho 61, 8150-141 São Brás de Alportel and there is adequate parking nearby.
