Holiday Safety Tips

This brochure is full of tips that can help you avoid becoming a victim of a crime when you are out and about or at work.

By taking a few simple precautions, you can reduce the risk to yourself, and also discourage those who commit crime.

Be prepared

  • Always be alert and aware of the people around you.
  • Educate yourself concerning prevention tactics.
  • Be aware of locations and situations which would make you vulnerable to crime, such as alleys and dark parking lots.

Street precautions

  • Be alert to your surroundings and the people around you, especially if you are alone or it is dark.
  • Whenever possible, travel with a friend.
  • Stay in well-lighted areas as much as possible.
  • Walk close to the curb. Avoid door-ways, bushes and alleys where someone could hide.
  • Walk confidently, and at a steady pace.
  • Make eye contact with people when walking.
  • Do not respond to conversation from strangers on the street, continue walking.
  • If you carry a purse, hold it securely between your arm and your body.

Car safety

  • Always lock car doors after entering or leaving your car.
  • Park in well-lighted areas.
  • Have your car keys in your hand so you don’t have to linger before entering your car.
  • Check the back seat before entering your car.
  • If you think you are being followed, drive to a public place or a police, sheriff or fire station.
  • If your car breaks down, open the hood and attach a white cloth to the car antenna. If someone stops to help, stay in the locked car, roll down the window a little and ask them to call the police or sheriff or a tow trucking service.
  • Don’t stop to aid motorists stopped on the side of the road. Go to a phone and request help for them.

Waiting for a bus

  • Avoid isolated bus stops.
  • Stand away from the curb until the bus arrives.
  • Don’t open your purse or wallet while boarding the bus. Have your pass or money already in your hand.
  • Don’t invite trouble — keep gold chains out of sight; don’t flash your jewelry; and turn your rings around so the stones don’t show.
