The San Marino Police Department would like to offer the community some personal safety tips when out on a walk or jog. Reduce your risk of becoming a victim of a crime by taking a few simple precautions:
 
Be Prepared
 

• Be alert and aware of those around you
• Be aware of your location and situations which could make you vulnerable to a crime (dark alleys or poorly lit parking lots)
• Try not to walk alone. Walk in pairs, if you can, and educate yourself concerning prevention tactics
• Remove distractions: Talking on the phone, wearing earbuds, and listening to music may prevent you from being aware of your surroundings
• Walk with confidence and look from side to side, making eye contact with people
• Pay attention to anyone acting suspiciously and call the police if you believe you are being followed
• If a crime occurs – Report it! If you see something, say something.
