PERSONAL SAFETY TIPS

Stay alert and tuned in to your surroundings, wherever you are.

Don’t be taken by surprise. Be aware and be prepared.

Stand tall and walk confidently. Don’t show fear. Don’t look like a victim.

Trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable in a place or situation, leave right away and get help if necessary.

ON FOOT

Choose busy streets and avoid going through vacant lots, alleys, or other deserted areas. At night, walk in well-lit areas whenever possible.

Try not to walk or jog alone. Take a friend or neighbor along for company.

Get to know the neighborhoods and neighbors where you live and work.

Carry your purse close to your body and keep a firm grip on it.

Avoid pickpockets by carrying your wallet in an inside coat pocket or front trouser pocket.
