Take an active role in your own safety

• Remain alert at all times - pay attention to your surroundings. 
• Be aware of your surroundings and the people around you.
• Don't be afraid to get other's attention and help.
• Take steps to distance yourself from the situation before an attack begins.

• Visualize what you would do if confronted (run away and yell).
• Carry a cell phone and have it ready to use.
• Let it go if your bag is snatched.
• Have a companion - there is safety in numbers.
• Trust your instincts - if you feel uncomfortable in any situation, leave.
• Carry a whistle - don't be afraid to offend someone by using it.

• Call the Police first.
• Report ANY suspicious behavior.
