Hints for Internet Safety

 

Adults on the Internet

Adults must also practice "safe surfing" on the internet. Most of the things that were discussed under Children on the Internet must also be practiced by adults.

Adults still need to be careful about who they chat with and who they give personal information to. You would not allow a stranger to walk up to you and obtain your name, telephone number and address immediately, why would you allow that to happen on the net?

Personal information is just that, personal.  Do not give out work or home information, dates of birth, social security numbers, names, vehicle information and the like.  While this sounds like common sense, sometimes we get comfortable with the person that we think we are chatting with.

Please have fun, use this wonderful technology wisely and mostly, please be safe.

If you have any questions or problems regarding the internet, please feel free to contact us at the Police Department.
