Personal Safety
Telephone Safety
 | If you receive an obscene call or a nuisance call, say nothing and hang up
immediately.
| If you are alone and receive a call from an unidentified caller, never
indicate that you are alone.
| Never give any information to "wrong number" callers who ask you
what number they've dialed.
| Never give personal information to surveyors. First ask for the person's
name, the name of his company, and his telephone number. You can call the
person back.
| If you begin to receive crank or harassing calls at work or home, keep a
written log of of the dates and times you have received such calls and what
transpired each time.

On The Street
| Stay in well lighted areas.
| Don't take shortcuts through areas such as alleys, vacant lots, or areas
you are unfamiliar with.
| Walk down the middle of the sidewalk against the flow of vehicular
traffic.
| Stay away from parked cars, doorways, staircases, hedges and shrubs, and
other potential hiding places.
| Always walk confidently at a steady pace. Be alert and give the impression
you know where you're going.
| If stopped by someone in a car, asking for directions, always maintain a
safe distance from the car. Never get close to the car.
| If you believe you are being followed, trust your instinct. Cross the
street and get to the nearest place of safety (an open business for
example.)
| If you walk or jog regularly, vary your route and routine a little each
day.
| NEVER HITCHHIKE As well as being very dangerous, it's also
illegal.
| Carry your purse close to your body and keep a firm grip on it.
| When shopping, never leave your purse in a shopping cart, on a counter, or
in a fitting room.
| Always keep your purse zipped or closed. Thieves often just reach into a
purse when the owner turns away.
