    Safety & Security Tips

    罢丑别蝉别听safety and security tips are strategies for reducing risk and victimization is never the fault of the victim/survivor.听Be aware of your surroundings. If you see anyone suspicious, avoid them by entering a public place such as a business.

    1. Do not use your phone or any other electronics when walking. These devices distract you and make you an easy target for criminals.
    2. Avoid displaying large amounts of cash, or wearing/displaying valuable jewelry or electronics. These items are enticing to criminals who assume that you have more valuables in your possession.
    3. Try to walk in well-lit areas as much as possible.
    4. Walk on the sidewalk whenever possible. Walk close to the curb, avoiding doorways, bushes and other potential hiding places.
