1. Stay alert and tuned in to your surrounding, wherever you are. Don’t be
    taken by surprise. Be aware and be prepared.

2. Trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable in a place or situation,
    leave right away and get help if necessary.

3. At night, walk in well lighted areas only, with a friend if possible.

4. Try and use "Automatic Teller Machines" during daylight hours.  If possible
    take a friend along to  help watch your surroundings while using the ATM.

5. After shopping, lock your items in the trunk of your vehicle or at least out
    of sight of  someone walking by your vehicle.

6. Lock your vehicle and remove the keys.  Hold the keys in your hand when
    approaching your vehicle. This speeds up your entry into the vehicle and
    the keys can be used as a defensive weapon if attacked.

7. While driving, keep your vehicle doors locked .

8. Report any suspicious persons or activities to authorities as soon as
    possible.
