If you’re planning on enjoying Glasgow’s nightlife during the Glasgow2014 games, here’s some important information to help keep you safe. •Plan ahead for your night out. Know how you are getting back home/back to your accommodation and remember to keep enough money for your return journey. •Keep together – look out for friends. Do not go off with strangers. •Watch your drinks and how much you drink. Stay in control of your drinking, remember you are more vulnerable when drinking - never accept a drink from someone you do not entirely trust. Dont leave your drink unattended, even if just going to the toilet. •Keep bags and valuables with you at all times. Do not leave bags unattended - when in restaurants and bars, always keep them where you can see them. •Make sure your phone is charged, you have money to get home/back to your accommodation and look after your keys. •Use a licensed taxi, public transport or arrange a lift. Try and pre-book your taxi, do not accept lifts from cruising cabs or touts and try to travel with a friend. •If you are walking at night, be aware and avoid isolated areas. Don’t take short cuts through dark alleys, parks or across waste ground and keep to well lit, busy areas. Walk facing the traffic so a car cannot pull up behind you unnoticed. Enjoy the Glasgow2014 celebrations and please speak to police when they’re out and about on patrol if you have any concerns at all. You can also reach them on 101 or dial 999 in an emergency.
