STREET SENSE
Wherever you are on the street, in an office building
or shopping mall, driving, waiting for a bus or cab, stay alert and
tuned in to your surroundings.
Trust your instincts. If something or someone makes
you uncomfortable, avoid the person or leave.
Know the neighborhoods where you live and work. Check
out the locations of police and fire stations, public telephones,
hospitals, and restaurants, or stores that are open late.
On Foot-Day or Night
· Stick
to well-lighted, well-traveled streets. Avoid shortcuts through
wooded areas, parking lots, or alleys.
· Don't
flash money or other tempting targets like jewelry or clothing.
· Carry
a purse close to your body, not dangling by the straps. Put a wallet
in an inside coat or front pants pocket, not a back pocket. Carry
only what is necessary and try not to keep currency and credit cards
all in one place.
· Don't
wear shoes or clothing that restrict your movements.
· Have
your car or house key in hand before you reach the door.
· Try
to use automated teller machines in the daytime. Have your card in
hand and don't approach the machine if you're uneasy about people
nearby. Better yet, only use the ATM machines inside of grocery
store, malls, or gas stations.
· If
you think someone is following you, switch direction or cross the
street. Walk toward an open store, restaurant, or lighted house. If
someone harasses you, don't be embarrassed. Loudly say "Leave me
alone! Someone call the police! Get away!"
Vehicle Safety
· Keep
your car in good running condition. Make sure there's enough gas to
get where you're going and back.
· Always
roll up the windows and lock car doors, even if you're coming right
back. Check inside and out before getting in.
· Avoid
parking in isolated areas. Be especially alert in lots and
underground parking garages.
· If
you think someone is following you, don't head home. Drive to the
nearest police or fire station, gas station, or other open business
to get help
· If
Someone Tries to Rob You, Don’t resist. Give up your property. Don't
risk your life.
· Report
the crime to the police. Try to describe the attacker accurately.
Your actions can help prevent others from being victims.
· Take
a Stand!
· Make
your neighborhood and working place safer by reporting broken street
lights, cleaning up parks and vacant lots, and lobbying local
government for better lighting in public places.
· Initiate
a block watch program in your neighborhood by contacting your local
crime prevention unit.
