SECURITY TIPS FOR YOUR HOLIDAYS – issued by Spectrum Intelligence. 

Below are some handy tips to ensure that your holiday is as hassle free as it can be.

• Do not use your Spectrum ID card instead of your passport.
• Keep your passport and valuables in something that can be worn around the neck, under your clothes and out of sight.
• Take a scan of your itinerary, passport, credit cards, travel insurance documents, important phone numbers and keep them separate from the originals, in case of loss or theft.  Leave a copy with Spectrum Security at the nearest base to your destination.  Your Spectrum ID card should also be left with them.  If there is no base close by leave them with your family or Cloudbase Security.
• Wherever possible, leave passports, travellers cheques and other valuables in a safety deposit box or safe at your hotel.
• Be aware that when you are travelling in a foreign country, you are subject to the laws of that country.  Do not assume that they are the same as those you are used to at home.   Spectrum personnel must respect the laws and conventions of every member state of the World Government. 
• If you propose to travel to a non-member state, you must have permission from your commanding officer and provide a detailed itinerary of your intended movements. 
• If you are detained by the police for any reason, contact Spectrum and report your detention. We will provide assistance.
• If you lose your passport or valuables, or are robbed, go to the nearest police station and obtain a police report. This will be required for a new passport and most insurance companies require a police report before processing insurance claims.
• Never carry packages or luggage for another person through Customs at airports, bus depots or across land borders.
• Never pick up hitchhikers or accept a lift from strangers.  Spectrum personnel are prime targets for kidnap – never mind where in the world you are. 
• Most of all

Have A Great Holiday!
