PERSONAL SAFETY TIPS
 | Ask law enforcement for a free home security survey. | |
| Make sure you have sturdy metal or solid wood doors at all entries into your home and that sliding glass and | |
| similar doors are properly secured. | ||
| Trim the shrubbery around your doors and windows so crooks don’t have a place to hide. | |
| Do not give out personal information over the phone, through the mail, or over the Internet unless you have | |
| initiated the contact or know with whom you are dealing. | ||
| If you’re a senior, use direct deposit for your Social Security check and other regular payments. | |
| If you notice someone following you when you’re driving, head for the nearest busy, brightly lighted area. | |
| Write down the license number and make and model of the car. Call 911 or your local emergency number. | ||
| Always lock car doors and take the keys when you leave your car, even if you’ll be gone “just for a minute.” | |
| Don’t leave valuables in view in the car. Leave them in the trunk or, better yet, take them home immediately. | |
| As you walk down the street or through the parking garage, walk alertly and assertively. Don’t weigh yourself | |
| down with too many parcels. Take several loads to the car if necessary. | ||
| If you carry a purse, hold it close to your body; if a wallet, keep it in a front pocket. | |
| Don’t display your cash or any other inviting targets such as pagers, cell phones, hand-held electronic games, | |
| or expensive jewelry and clothing. | ||
| When traveling, carry only the credit and ATM cards you absolutely need. Leave the others at home, safely | |
| stored. | ||
| Make sure your home is secure when you are traveling—all deadbolts locked, lights left on timers, | |
| newspapers stopped, and mail held at the post office or collected by a trusted neighbor who has your travel schedule. |
