Personal security
Personal security, like home security, is both a matter
of smart actions as well as having useful products. Here are some tips
which cover both aspects:
•Always drive with your windows up and doors locked within the
city.
•Look confident and keep your hands free while walking. If you
look like an easy target you will be considered one.
•Consider purchasing personal security items such as pepper spray,
a self defense keychain, and safety alarms.
•Do not park near isolated or low-visibility areas.
•Know how to use such personal security devices as Tasers or stun
guns if you are using one. Oftentimes, these items can be used against
you or may cause more damage to an attacker than is legal in certain
states or for certain situations.
