Recently the news seems to be full of crime-related activities that cause the loss of safety, property and life. Listening to these new stories can stir many emotions, fear in particular. Yet we continue to listen to these alarming stories and rarely take appropriate precautions we should in our daily lives. When we walk on the mall, we have our turnkey? Are we looking around to be sure our environment is safe? Common sense plays an important role for our security
The National Crime Prevention Council provides a list of do's and don'ts to stay safe.
- not walk or jog early morning or late evening, when the streets are deserted.
- when night, try having a friend walk with you.
- Carry only the money you need for that day.
- not to post cash or other targets such as inviting luxury jewelry and clothing.
- If you think someone is following you, switch direction or cross the street. If the person continues to follow you, move quickly toward an open store, restaurant or a well-lit house. Do not be afraid to shout for help.
- Try to park in well-lit areas with good visibility and close to walkways, shops, and others.
- Always lock your car, even if it is in your own driveway, and never leave your engine running.
- Do everything you can to keep a stranger from entering your car or preventing a foreign force you into his car.
- If you have been abused by a loved one, not only him unresponsive. Do not let him in your house or your car when you are alone.
Talk to your friends and family (children too) about how to stay safe and be aware of their surroundings. Often we teach our children abroad danger, but tend to forget that the real danger may include anyone such as parents, teachers and other caregivers. People of all ages need to know what limits to set for appearances can be deceiving. My old saying is: trust but verify in all things. Always pay attention to small details of what you know and see, and trust your instincts. Do you have additional security tips you want to share?
