Walking At Night Safer
Walking at night in the city can present risks and dangers.
- If you carry a handbag with a shoulder strap, wear the strap across your chest
- Hide your valuables. Smart phones and other mobile devices can be a target for thieves. Keep them concealed when not in use
- Try and walk in large groups, particularly at night.
- Walk with confidence and travel in well lit areas
- If you feel threatened, make a scene, draw attention to yourself and head towards an area with people
- Report any suspicious activity immediately
- Trust your instincts. If it doesn’t feel safe, it probably isn’t
