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!"
