LET’S TALK ABOUT CRIME PREVENTION
Do you know what prevention means? It means making it harder for something harmful to happen.
Crime prevention means reducing the chances for criminals to victimize you, your family, and neighbors. It means protecting property and teaching kids and adults to be alert and aware. It means doing things that build communities up, and stopping things that tear communities down.
You need to go beyond watching out. You need to help out, too. When all is said and done, your safety, health, and satisfaction depend on the well-being of others. That’s why partnerships are such a key part of successful crime prevention. It takes everyone working together. Whether you’re 8 or 80, the best weapons against street crime are alertness and common sense. October is Crime Prevention Month. Let’s actively practice crime prevention and helping out to make ourselves, our children, and our communities safer, healthier places to live.
THE BIG THREE
1. Stay alert and tuned into your surroundings, wherever you are.
2. Stand tall and walk confidently.
3. Trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable in a place or situation, leave quickly.
