You should be making personal and home protection your #1 priority in today’s times. Being proactive in your personal security for yourself, family and home will only help in the prevention of such crimes against you.

If you don’t already have a neighborhood watch in your area this may be the time to communicate with your neighbors on getting one started.

By becoming more aware of your surroundings you can also decrease your chances of becoming a victim of attack.
Pay close attention to those around you, walk like you have a purpose, show confidence, try not to walk during the night hours if possible, keep your wits when walking, don’t allow yourself to become easily distracted, never park your car in un-lit areas and try to get as close to the facility you are visiting as possible, Always have your keys in your hand prior to leaving anywhere, When getting in your car always lock the doors behind you and never leave valuables out in plain sight. By utilizing some of these tips you can help in crime prevention in your personal safety.
You should seriously consider carrying less-lethal weapons as self defense sprays, stun guns and even a taser gun. These self defense devices will give you an advantage if used properly. Just remember while considering self defense weapons make sure you are purchasing one that’s right for you, everyone is different and has their own personal needs. Secondly once you have it in your possession, learn to use it, know it and carry it with you always.
