Be observant of your surroundings! Watch for people acting suspiciously!
- Danger areas are stepping out of your car either at home or in isolated areas, and also walking to your car
- Always approach your vehicle with the keys ready.
- Windows should be up and doors locked even when driving to avoid unwanted passengers at intersections.
- Always check your car before entering.
- Never leave your car unlocked, even for the few minutes it may take you to return a video, buy milk and so forth. Attackers have been known to lie in wait for such an opportunity.
- Never get into a car even if someone is pointing a knife or a handgun at you from inside. Just start to run away from the car screaming at the same time. It's much more likely that he will drive away to find an easier target than attacking or killing you.
- Never pull your car over from a quiet road even if someone drives alongside your car pointing at the tires etc. Always continue driving to a well-lit and crowded area before exiting your car.
- Always be alert in parking lots, especially when it's dark.
Domestic violence may consist of threats, punches or sexual force. The abuse can range from verbal harassment to stabbing and shooting. Domestic violence is a serious matter. It has often ended in death or permanent physical injury.
Child Abuse Unit Tips
Teach your children that it is more important to get out of a threatening situation, than it is to be polite. They also need to know that it is okay to tell you what happened, and they won’t be a tattletale.
Sex Abuse Unit Information
There are a lot of myths about sexual assault. Many people think that sexual assaults are perpetrated by strangers, and that sexual assault mainly occurs in high risk areas like deserted parking lots or isolated, wooded areas. Most sex offenders know their victims and most incidents take place in a residential setting.
