    Cst Stephanie Myers says whether you’re at a party, bar, or beach, plan ahead and have open conversations with friends.

    It’s summer time which means it’s patio season and the RNC wants everyone to look out for one another. Cst Stephanie Myers says to stay safe while being social. Substances can affect decision-making and lower awareness, which may increase the risk of harm. Whether you’re at a party, bar, or beach, plan ahead and have open conversations with friends. Agree to a buddy system. Stick with people you trust.

    Myers  says keep your phone charged and share your location with friends and family. She says keep an eye on your drink always. Watch your drink being made and do not leave it unattended. Do not drive impaired. Arrange a sober ride home, get a cab or book a ride-share.

    Myers says keep your belongings secure at all times and now your limit.
