Prevention and Safety Tips

• Trust your instincts – if you sense trouble, move to a safe location as soon as possible.
• Remain alert and be aware of your location, surroundings, and individuals near you. Walk with your head up and avoid distractions like cell phones or carrying too many items.
• Be the best witness you can be.  Make mental notes of sex, race, age, height, weight, hair and eye color, build, and clothing. Note anything unusual about the suspect, such as scars, tattoos, strange mannerisms, or speech patterns. Additionally, make note of any vehicle information, to include color, make, model, license plate, and unique features.
