Safety tips to reduce risk of becoming a victim
Be aware and alert to male predators in parking lots. Park in well lit visible locations and plan when to go. Do not exit the car if you see suspicious males and follow your instincts. Teach others to enter and exit quickly and lock doors. If followed, yell to stop and use a car alarm if available. Call police or security for suspicious activity and stay aware of surroundings.
