The holiday shopping season is now in full swing so security has been beefed up around the Valley.
Clovis Police and other valley agencies are making sure would-be thieves don't target shoppers. Officers are patrolling all of the major shopping centers around the clock and also cracking down on drivers breaking laws out on the streets.
"The more eyes and the more visibilIty you have the better odds you're going to have on preventing something or catching someone who is up to no good," said Officer Jared Binford, Clovis Police Dept.
Police say you can protect yourself from becoming a target, by parking in well lit areas, always walking with someone and by locking up valuables in your trunk to keep them out of sight.
