"Women Walking Safely!"

Women have to be smart when they are walking outside. Taking a few extra precautions can reduce the chances of becoming a victim of a crime. Here are a few tips:

* Stay Alert - Be aware of the entire environment around you. If you wear headphones, keep the volume low enough that you can hear what's going on around you.

* ALWAYS walk facing traffic.

* Avoid isolation - Walk in areas where there are other people.

* Tell someone where you will be walking and when you
will be back.

* Carry identification and don't wear jewelry.

* Carry a noisemaker such as a whistle or personal alarm.

* Best of all -- Walk with a Friend!
