WHAT CAN I DO TO BE SAFE ON THE STREETS WHEN WALKING? 

·        Do not take shortcuts through dark alleys, across grounds or abandoned property.

·        Walk facing traffic so that no one can drive up or sneak up behind you.

·        Do not hitchhike nor accept rides from strangers.

·        Cover up expensive looking jewelry.   It may be a good idea not to wear expensive looking jewelry when walking the streets.  You may make yourself a target.

·        If you are out late, catch a ride in a taxi and ask the driver to wait until you properly get inside your home before driving off.

·        Carry your bag close to your body.  If someone grabs it, let it go.  Keep your house and vehicle keys in your pocket and do not travel with a lot of cash.
