*Never walk while speaking on
your cell phone.
If you need to make
a call, stop into a safe environment, put your back to a wall
-
*Don't walk on the street with headphones.
You can't hear someone coming up behind you
-
*Always have your keys in your pocket as you approach your door
Don't be that girl that has to fish for her keys!
-
*Carry some sort of "weapon" on your keychain
Whether it is a whistle, flashlight, personal alarm, it is ready
to use!
-
*If
you choose to carry pepper spray practice how to use it
First using a weapon in the time of a crisis is not the time to learn
-
*Always open doors using your shoulder, look who is behind
you
Never have your back to anyone!
-
*Never stand in the back of the elevator trapping yourself
Stand near the buttons where you are in control
-
*Try to consolidate your bags into one big bag
Always keep your hands free to use
-
*Walk with one hand in your pocket
Bad guys don't know if you have weapon ready to use
-
*Pay Attention, make eye contact
If you let them know "I see you" you are telling them
I can pick you out of a line-up
-
*Do
not be afraid to use your VOICE
It is
the best weapon you have!
