Let's Talk About It With Jenny White/Safety Precautions For Everyday Living

Before leaving the house or apartment, keep strangers out by locking all of the doors and closing windows. Activate your security system on the way out of the door to scare off potential intruders. Before leaving, even for a few minutes, lock your front door and close the garage. If you go out at night, leave one or two lights on to deter burglars from entering your house. When leaving on extended trips and vacations, have someone get your mail alnd newspapers and set your outside lights on a timer to turn on at night. Tips for everyday life ensure you are prepared for the worst situations before they occur. 

We deal with crowds on a daily basis, whether it is on our way to work or at a baseball game on the weekend. Protect yourself from those around you and familiarize yourself with the surrounding area. Place your wallet in your front pocket, if possible, and keep purses snug and zipped up. Avoid swinging them over your shoulder and use the ones that fasten shut. Keep your cell phone attached to your body.
