PROTECTION NOTICE: Personal Security Measures - Automobile Security • Always keep the doors locked and windows up. • Keep your bags and valuables from plain sight. • Try to avoid choke points in your daily travel and be wary of diversions. • In traffic, always attempt to leave space to maneuver. Leave yourself an exit and be prepared to take evasive action at any time. • Vary your routes and times to/from work – be unpredictable! • Check the interior and exterior of your vehicle for irregularities prior to getting in. • If another driver tries to force you to pull over or cuts you off, keep driving and try to get away. Take note of the license plate number and a description of the car and driver (only if it does not place you in danger). • If you are involved in an accident and something does not seem normal, depart the area immediately. Remember, some accidents could be a ruse designed to rob or carjack you. • Never pick-up hitchhikers. • If you are being followed or harassed by another driver, drive to a US Embassy/Consulate or try to find the nearest police station, hotel, restaurant, or other public facility from which you can call the police. Never lead a person back to your home or stop and confront them. • Be aware of your surroundings. Look ahead at what is taking place three blocks in front of you. • Be alert to motorcycles stopping next to your car, particularly if there are two riders. • Review your personal security plans; remain aware of your surroundings, including local events; and monitor local news stations for updates. Maintain a high level of vigilance and take appropriate steps to enhance your personal security. Any questions or concerns, please contact the Protection Office at [email protected].
