🤖 𝐀𝐈 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋. 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒𝐍'𝐓 𝐌𝐄𝐀𝐍 𝐈𝐓 𝐈𝐒. Technology can make it easier to create convincing messages, images, audio and video. Don't automatically trust something because it: • Looks professional. • Uses a familiar name. • Contains a photograph. • Sounds like someone you know. • Appears to come from a legitimate organization. Before sending money, sharing personal information, or acting on an unexpected request: 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐏. 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐊. 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐅𝐘. Use a trusted source to confirm the information before you act. Agree on a family code word. When something doesn't feel right, take a moment and check.

It's Halloween week! 🎃 Parents, remind yourselves that some costumes — similar to puffy coats — have excess material and can prevent a car seat from keeping your child SAFE in a crash. Don't risk it — change them into their costumes at your destination. 🦄✔️

𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫: 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐫, 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝. 𝐒𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝. Avoid swerving. Leaving your lane can lead to a more serious crash. If a collision is unavoidable, braking firmly while staying in your lane is often the safest option for you and your passengers. If you strike a deer, you may file your own crash report through ISP’s Civilian Crash Reporting System for eligible crashes. Just visit the ISP website and choose Complete a Crash Report Online. isp.illinois.gov/CrashReport… Please drive carefully this season. #watchfordeer
