Staying safe whilst on the streets

In Your Community

• When walking, know where you are going.
• Stay on well-lit streets.
• Don't obstruct your view with parcels that can slow you down.
• Pay attention to your instincts - if your gut tells you not to go one way, choose another path. If you feel you are being followed, quickly assess your options. Can you run or change direction? Are there people nearby or houses or businesses to run to? Do what you can, fast. You may not be in danger, but it's best to play it safe.
• Contact the your local police if you see suspicious activity

In Your Car

• When you are driving or parking your car, use common sense to protect yourself.
• Lock your doors immediately after you get in your car.
• Never pick up hitch-hikers.
• Do not stop to pick up stranded motorists. The best thing you can do is call someone like the police to assist.
• Park in well lit areas and keep your vehicle locked when it is parked.
• If your vehicle breaks down, raise the hood and switch on the hazard lights. Stay inside the car with the windows up and the doors locked. If somebody offers help, assess the situation to see if it is safe to accept assistance. Is the helper another motorist with a family, or a lone driver? If you feel unsafe, ask the helper to call for assistance.
• Be alert getting in and out of your car. Always have your keys ready when you approach your car and check that no one is inside before you get in.
• Do not keep your car registration and license in your car - they'll tell burglars where you live. Keep them in your purse or wallet instead.

Remember! Simple precautions can reduce your risk of assault, but even the most alert and cautious person can still end up a victim. If you are assaulted, call the police immediately - the sooner you report the crime, the better. Talk to someone who can help you deal with your feelings about the assault - a friend, a family member, or counselor. You can also decide to empower yourself and be prepared for the unexpected.
