Knowing personal safety tips can go along way to heading off a problem.
Personal safety refers not only to physical safety (freedom from physical harm) but also to psychological safety, which involves freedom from worry about physical safety as well as being victimized by hostility, aggression, and harassment.
The following is by no means an exhaustive list of personal safety tips or safety concerns. In fact, there are few situations in life, in which it isn’t a good idea to generate a list of personal safety tips to help with risk management.
– Never walk alone – Walk with others or request an escort
– Walk on commonly traveled, well-lit paths and sidewalks
– Never volunteer personal information to strangers
– Do not solicit rides; utilize public transportation systems
– Use the buddy system when going out
– Do not leave your friends alone at parties or bars
– Don’t leave a party with someone you just met
– Be aware of your surroundings
– Be sure to have blinds and curtains on your windows to protect your privacy
Personal crime prevention starts with the use of your common senses, easily ignored in our busy everyday lives. The following personal safety tips are nothing new, but it is important to be reminded of them from time to time. Remember that crime happens during the day as well as at night.
Keep emergency numbers near your phone. Better yet; remember them! Lock all doors and windows every time you leave your room/apartment/home, even if you plan to be gone for just a minute.

Know the locations and utilize the outdoor emergency telephones located on campus. Each emergency telephone is contained within a red colored metal enclosure affixed to a security light pole. Use these telephones to request emergency assistance or a safe escort.Never open your door to strangers. Offer to make an emergency call while someone waits outside. Check the identification of any sales or service people before letting them in. Don’t be embarrassed to phone for verification.Don’t let strangers into your home-no matter what the reason or emergency. Offer to make an emergency phone call while they wait outside.
If you feel threatened or if you want to report something suspicious, use one of the over 350 emergency phones on campus. The phones, distinguished by their blue lights, connect directly to the UA police dispatcher at all hours. |

Personal Safety Tips 101: DEFEND YOURSELF DAY OR NIGHT!

As soon as it is safe, call 9-1-1 (or 9-9-1-1 from a campus phone), contact Security from an yellow emergency call boxes located on campus or call boxes in the parking garage a blue light is affixed to the boxes in the garage. or call Security at 213-736-1121 (or x1121 from a campus phone). If it becomes unsafe to talk, leave the line open so the dispatcher can listen.
In any situation where you feel unsafe, threatened or in immediate danger, remove yourself and contact the local authorities – such as police or emergency services – right away. When you’re in a safe location, report the incident to our Trust and Safety team. All reports are confidential.
I believe parents should teach their children about 911 before they teach them the ABCs. 911 is a central number for all types of emergencies. An emergency dispatch operator quickly takes information from the caller and puts the caller in direct contact with whatever emergency personnel are needed, thus making response time quicker.
Also, parents should teach their children to report any such incident to a safe adult. The basic personal safety tips a parent should give their child seem straightforward. However, it is always important to stress that parents take the time to address this issue with their children.
Personal crime prevention starts with the use of your common senses, easily ignored in our busy everyday lives. The following personal safety tips are nothing new, but it is important to be reminded of them from time to time. Remember that crime happens during the day as well as at night.
Rape is a violent crime and a frightening experience. Rape affects all women, no matter what their age, race or economic status. It must also be remembered that men are not immune and can also be victims of sexual violence. Rape can occur anywhere and at anytime, in public or in your own home. Rapists are not necessarily strangers. In fact, in many reported cases, the rapist is an acquaintance, neighbor, friend, or relative.
