Safety Tips

 

• Stay sharp. Keep your eyes open and be aware of the world around you.
• Don’t let distractions pull you in—put your phone away and stay present as you walk.
• Keep your stuff close. You don’t want to make it easy for someone to grab it.
• A crossbody bag can make a big difference. It’s harder to snatch and easier to keep track of.
• Trust your instincts—if someone’s making you feel uncomfortable or is too close for comfort, be cautious.
• Skip carrying cash in bulk or anything too flashy that could draw unwanted attention.
• Walk with purpose, and if things feel off, don’t engage. Confidence is your best defense.
