Personal Safety Recommendations

On The Street

Never hitchhike! It's not worth the risk!

Be very careful using outside ATMs at night or in unfamiliar

surroundings.

When walking, walk in the middle of the sidewalk and walk facing
oncoming traffic.

Try not to overload yourself with packages or other items. Keep

your hands as free as possible.

Do not wear music headphones while walking or jogging.

Do not read while walking or standing on a sidewalk.

If you wear a purse with a shoulder strap, be prepared to

let it go if snatched. Otherwise you could be knocked down
and hurt.

A good suggestion for men is to carry a second wallet containing a few

dollar bills and old expired credit cards, which are normally destroyed
or discarded. If confronted at knife or gun point, give the suspect the
second wallet and concentrate on a good physical description to help the
police in making the arrest.

Avoid being on the street alone if you are upset or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

If you carry a purse, carry it close to your body, preferably in front. Carry no more money or
credit cards than you absolutely need.
