Crime Prevention : Safety Tips

In an Emergency

• Do not panic. Think laterally. Talk your way out of the situation.
   
• Do not resist unless you are absolutely sure it will lead to your escape.
   
• If your instincts are to physically resist- do not hold back.
   
• If circumstances dictate that you must not resist, concentrate on noting physical description of your attacker.
   
• In a robbery or hijacking , do as you are told. Do not argue or challenge your attacker and avoid eye contact. Keep your hands still and visible. If you need to undo a seatbelt, ask first. Remember you can replace your valuables or a vehicle, but not your life.
