General Safety Tips:

  • Stay aware of your surroundings, avoid distractions like phone use or music, and walk with purpose and confidence.
  • Travel with others when possible and stick to well-lit, well-traveled areas, especially at night.
  • Protect electronics by keeping them out of sight and use tracking systems if available.
  • Avoid using ATMs in isolated areas; use those in busy, well-populated places during daylight.
  • Don’t display large amounts of cash or excessive jewelry while paying for items or in public.
  • Keep your wallet in your front pocket or inside jacket for better security.
  • For women, carry a small, secure handbag that you can hold close to your body.
  • When shopping, stay alert, walk in well-lit areas, and avoid shortcuts.
  • Park in busy, well-lit areas and avoid parking next to large vehicles.
  • Lock your car, store valuables in the trunk, and avoid carrying large sums of cash—use cards instead.
