Personal Defense Connection

Keep your eyes on your drink. Never leave it unattended. You just never know...

Don't wear headphones while in public. Not just to protect yourself from cars, but from predators as well. Keep your ears open for danger.

Watch out for flash robs and protests that could turn ugly.

Do you know where all the exits are? How about cover and/or concealment?

Use obstacles... (oops... posted this one twice in one week. My bad.)

Stop Being Too Nice: Predators count on people following social conventions. Don't let them lure you in. Listen to your inner voice. Don't worry about seeming rude. Your life is more important than social politeness.

Repost Weekend: Info you may have missed.

Being on your phone does NOT make you safer. It makes you more likely to be targeted by a predator. How can you know if you're being watched/targeted if your face is in your phone? Stay off your phone when you are out walking. And pay attention to what's going on around you.
