Police Offer Tips to Help Keep You, Your Family Safe
According to self-defense-mind-body-spirit.com, crime-statistics show that about 31 million total crimes are reported in the United States annually. That's about one crime per second and crimes against women are at a all time high. From theft, rape and kidnapping.
Recently police officers have shared some tips on a website called awm.com (American Web Media) that will help keep you safe. Below are some of the tips they suggest:
- Never rest your purse in the front part of a grocery cart!
- Park near the cart rack in the parking lot. Customers taking & returning carts, deters criminals from approaching.
- Lower your side view mirrors so they are facing the ground. This can capture a criminal sneaking up on a car.
- Windows should always be locked and blinds should always be closed.
You can check out the full list of tips on the AWM website.
