Be aware of opportunities for crime at all times and spare yourself from being a victim!
- Never walk around alone and don’t talk to strangers. Be on the lookout for strange cars or people.
- Walk in well-lit, busy streets and in a group, if possible.
- Make sure your home is secure and become a member of an armed response service. Be sure that you know all the emergency numbers or have them displayed in an accessible area.
- Always let someone know where you are going and how long you will be gone. But think twice before advertising your impending absence on social media. Criminals also have access to Facebook and Twitter.
- Trust your instincts.
- Avoid going into a congested street where you cannot even walk properly; that is where you will find criminals pick-pocketing.
- Avoid displaying valuables where criminals can see them.
