Always know your surroundings. Know the address of where you are at, whether or not you have a cell phone signal, and who is around you.

Make yourself “prickly”, so a potential attacker will find you unattractive and move on to another target. Here's how...

•Unpredictable Time & Place: Do not establish patterns that others will notice. Predictable equals easy target.
•Safety in Numbers: Attackers single out individuals who are alone and easily approachable. Surround yourself with witnesses.
•Be Alert & In Charge: Look like you belong and are aware. Avoid distractions such as cell phones. Do not diminish your senses by wearing headphones. Move with purpose and always be confident and deliberate in your actions.

Happy Halloween! Make sure you carry glow sticks or flashlights, use reflective tape or stickers on costumes and bags, and wear light colors to help kids see and be seen by drivers.

Safety Tip: It is important to look like you belong and are familiar with the surroundings. Project an image of being alert by constantly scanning your surroundings. Keep your head up. If you see someone is observing you, make brief eye contact to let them know you are aware of their presence. Do not get locked into a dead stare and create a confrontation.
