Robbery Prevention Tips

•             Trust your instincts.  If you sense trouble, get away as soon as possible.

•             Show confidence.  Walk at a steady pace, keep your head up and avoid carrying lots of packages…It can make you look defenseless.

•             Don’t look like an easy target.  Robbers want someone who will provide the least resistance. If you look like you know where you are going, walk with your head up and eyes alert, you will most likely be left alone. Do not shop alone if possible. There is safety in numbers.

•             Be observant.

•             Remain alert and observe the people around you.  Know who is walking behind and in front of you. Things to watch for include suspicious persons or vehicles, people who are wearing inappropriate clothing for the weather (e.g. a long or heavy coat in warm weather), and people just loitering around.

•             Walk in well-lit areas. If possible, do not walk alone. 

•             Be aware of your surroundings. If you think you are being followed, go to a crowded area, Fire Station, Police Station…  Call Police if you believe you are being followed.

•             Do not carry large amounts of money.

•             Do not keep high value items in your vehicle as you shop from location to location.

•             Carry keys and cell phone in your hand.  Take photos of the suspects once you have a suspicion something is wrong.  Most phones allow you to save photos to the cloud or a web base storage. If your phone is taken, photos are secure.

If you observe suspicious persons or activities, call the police to investigate. If you are not the victim, the next person that’s not aware might be the target.

If You Are Robbed:

•             Remain calm.

•             Make personal safety the number one priority.  Money and property can be replaced. 

•             Carefully observe the physical characteristics of the robber.  Be a good witness. Note as much detail about the suspect(s) as possible.  (Age, race, height, facial hair, speech, clothing,  odor, etc.)

•             When it is safe, notify the police by calling 911.

•             Police dispatch will ask for the location of the robbery, whether anyone is injured, the exact time the robber(s) left and their direction of travel, the kind of weapon used, description of  the vehicle, the robber(s) description, their clothing, appearance or unique features, money or items taken, and other information to assist responding officers.

•             Ask any witnesses to stay until police arrive.  If they cannot stay, get their name, address and phone number. 

•             Write down all suspect information immediately and do not discuss the robbery with others until questioned by the police.  Comparing notes could cause memories to be skewed.
