at all times or locked in a secure place When working late or attending evening classes, always have a

buddy system. Never leave the building without some else with you.

Walk with other people whenever possible and avoid alleys and poor lit or deserted parking lots and streets

Walk with confidence: show you are alert and in control. Be aware of your surroundings

If you think someone is following you abruptly switch directions or cross the street

Have your car or house keys available before you reach your door

Don’t flash large amounts of cash or other valuable objects Avoid using i.d tags with your name, address or license number

on your keys; if lost, they could lead to theft Keep car doors and windows locked If your purse or wallet is being stolen, don’t fight for it. Rather

than risk the personal injury, release it and report the incident to local police and school personnel
