If you sense potential danger...
- Assess the situation, and then take action.
- Move away from the potential threat. You will have to decide how immediate the threat is and how drastic your action should be.
- Join any group of people nearby. Cross the street and increase your pace.
- Go to a well-lighted public place and call the police immediately.
- If you believe a threat is imminent and you see people nearby to help you, try to get their attention: yell, scream, or make a commotion in any way you can. Remember, dialing 911 and activating alarm boxes are part of the personal safety system.
- If you see someone else in trouble, call the police immediately.
- After you have avoided the threat of crime, call the police and report any and all details of the incident, including:
- Suspect description
- Location of the incident
- Vehicle used (if any)
- Last known direction of suspect
