Personal Safety on the Street
- Be alert and aware of others on the street.
- Carry a whistle on your key chain.
- Walk with keys in hand as you approach your home so you don't need to fumble for them.
- Stay on well-lighted streets.
- Avoid dark or concealed areas.
- If you think you are being followed, cross the street or change direction. Find an occupied building, one with a doorman, or an open store.
- If a car follows you or stops near you to ask for directions, do not approach the car.
- Try not to overload yourself with packages, books, purses, etc.
