Please read the following crime prevention tips. Also, report any suspicious activity or persons immediately to the police. If possible, use a cellular phone to call 911 while maintaining visual observation of the subject(s).
The use of electronic devices with headphones is not recommended in situations where you could be a target for street robbery. You are your own best protection and must be able to see/hear all nearby activity.
Street Robbery Tips:
- Try to remain calm. Do not resist. Consider the robber dangerous.
- In most cases, the robber only wants your valuables/money and is not there to hurt you.
- Assume the robber is armed, even if you don't see a weapon.
- If a weapon is displayed, consider it to be real and loaded. Don't stare at it.
- Do only what the robber tells you. If you don't understand, tell the robber.
- Attempt to get a good, complete description of the robber.
- Your main goal is to survive!
- Don't fight back! The most effective self defense measures include running away, hiding and screaming. More people will respond to someone yelling "FIRE" than "HELP".
- Remember--your money can be replaced, your life can't.
