Personal Safety
Personal safety is about being aware of your surroundings and taking steps to reduce risk in everyday situations. Whether you're at home, walking alone, or in a public space, staying alert and trusting your instincts can help you avoid potential danger. Simple actions like locking doors, keeping valuables out of sight, and letting someone know your whereabouts can make a significant difference. The police are committed to community safety and encourage everyone to stay informed, take precautions, and report suspicious activity. Your safety starts with awareness and proactive choices.
