Friends and Neighbors, Summer will be upon us soon and I am sending you a reminder to be aware of your surroundings whether walking/ running or just being out and about. Watch out for suspicious people hanging around and report them to police and neighbors. Leave porch and alley lights on at night. When you are conducting your daily activities walk briskly and with confidence. Keep your head upright, scan your surroundings and be aware of persons and areas that you encounter. Avoid taking shortcuts and try to remain where there are other people around you and help can be summoned if the need arises. If you believe you are in danger, look for open businesses or nearby residences that can be accessed to obtain assistance. When approaching your residence or workplace have the entry keys in your hand ready to unlock the door. Check around the entrance to your residence or workplace as you approach. Carry your cellular telephone with you at all times and have it available to call for police assistance. Your purse is a likely target for an attacker. Try to avoid carrying a handbag if possible. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash. If you are carrying a purse and someone grabs it, let it go. Do not fight over property. This applies to your vehicle as well. Action If you are attacked and decide to resist there is no halfway and you must fight with a purpose. Attempt to disable your attacker and run to safety, right away. Scream as loud as you can to attract attention. Strike fast, aim for vital spots. Gouge eyes with thumbs: scratch with fingernails. Jab Knees into groin area. Fight, fight, fight! If you are attacked from the rear, dig heels into instep, kick at shins, strike attackers face with the back of your head.
