• When possible walk, jog or bike with a buddy
• Wear reflective or light-colored clothing at night time
• Always take a cell phone or other device to communicate in case you need to call for help
• Be aware of your surroundings
• Avoid walking alone in secluded areas
• Keep your keys ready
• Walk with confidence
• Carry an alarm or whistle
• Don’t talk on a cell phone
• Avoid using earbuds or headsets
• Make eye contact
• Go with your instincts
These are just a few preventative safety tips, but if you see something suspicious call the police.
