Personal Safety

  • Be aware of your surroundings.  Look around; take notice of people and vehicles around you.
  • Do not look like a "victim".  Walk with head erect, eyes looking forward making eye contact with those you pass.  Walk with a purpose.
  • Do not talk on cell phone or listen to iPod, etc. - anything that distracts your attention.
  • If something or someone "just doesn't look or feel right" it probably isn't.  Avoid the situation, turn and walk in the opposite direction or cross the street.  Get to a more public area and call police - place this number in your cell phone.
