Parking Lot Safety Map 1. Tunnels Tunnels, passageways, and low-lit areas can present low visibility and you should avoid parking next to them. They allow criminals and perpetrators to hide in the darkness while seeking a victim. 2. Main Entrance Park near the main entrance for a safe and easy route to and from your car, and larger volumes of people. Spots close to the entrance are highly desired, so you may have to find the closest spot available to the entrance. 3. Booth The booth is typically one of the safest areas of a parking lot. It is stationed by a booth agent, has the highest volume of entering and exiting cars, and is normally under security surveillance. Find the booth in the parking lot if you are in danger or need help from the agent. 4. Adjacent Cars Try not to park next to adjacent cars or vans that have their windows blacked out, as this is a common method criminals use to abduct unsuspecting victims when they are entering or exiting their vehicles. Also try to avoid parking between two cars, as you can get boxed in by a third car and robbed. 5. Extra Space Find spots in well-lit busy areas near security cameras and with lots of empty parking spaces surrounding them. Open space, illuminated areas, and security cameras are deterrents for criminals. Other Parking Lot Safety Tips Stay alert when exiting and entering your car by keeping your head on a swivel. Lock your doors immediately upon entering your car so anyone following you won't be able to catch you off guard. Arm and ready yourself with accessible self defense weapons like kubatons, cat ears, or pepper spray so you can defend yourself in the face of immediate danger. Plan your approach and departure by knowing where your car is, having your keys ready, and not lingering in the parking lot. Trust your instincts. If someone or a situation feels weird, trust your gut and don't continue. You can call law enforcement or ask the store's security personnel if they can accompany you to your car. #armyourself

Subway Safety Map 1. Subway Entrances Safety Tip: Enter the station at central and commonly used entrances. Risk: Avoid dimly lit and remote entrances to the train station especially at night. 2. Booth and Turnstile Safety Tip: Swipe in with your card or tap your mobile device on turnstiles at booths that have attendants so they can assist you if necessary and act as a deterrence to criminals. Risk: Digging in your bag and wallet will make you appear distracted and vulnerable to opportunistic criminals. 3. Transitory Areas Safety Tip: Use situational awareness and be mindful of people and objects in your environment and your surroundings. Risk: Steer clear of desolate tunnels, stairways, elevators, and other transitory areas that isolate you. 4. Station Platform Safety Tip: Always stand in the middle of the platform with your body perpendicular to the platform so no one can come up from behind you. Risk: Never stand beyond the yellow line with your back facing the platform. 5. Subway Car Safety Tip: Choose subway cars that have many people and the conductor which are normally the middle, first or last cars. Risk: Avoid empty cars and try not to sit or stand near the door as criminals use these areas to commit crimes and then make a quick getaway. #armyourself

Park Safety Map for Joggers & Runners Use this park safety map to learn about the different areas of the park and their safety considerations. This is a general park safety map and all parks and outdoor environments may be different. Wooded Paths and Areas Wooded paths and dense areas of a park should generally be avoided if you're jogging because they possess natural seclusion and limited visibility. There is normally heavy tree cover, bushes and undergrowth, and winding trails which all lead to obscure sightlines and difficulty in using situational awareness and observing strangers from a distance. Due to their limited sunlight and rugged terrain, they are also often sparely populated which leads to less bystanders that can intervene if necessary. And the lack of lighting and quieter atmosphere provides cover for predators with bad intentions. Lastly, the uneven terrain and hidden roots or branches can be dangerous, making it harder to react quickly or change direction if you sense danger. Entrances and Exits Park entrances and exits can be dangerous for runners because they often involve transitioning through less populated isolated areas like parking lots or side streets. These "transition areas" are typically quieter, especially in the early morning or evening, making it easier for predators to stalk their victims. The lack of foot traffic and normal poor lighting also increases the risk of being targeted in these areas. Since people often let their guard down when arriving or leaving, runners may become more vulnerable in these areas. Staying alert, having your self-defense products ready, and avoiding lingering near entrances or exits can help reduce these risks. Waterfront or Lake Areas Waterfronts and lake areas can pose dangerous conditions for runners due to how desolate they can get and their natural terrain that's advantageous for predators. Running paths along lakes and waterways are often very desolate and contain few exit points since one whole side of the path is bordered by water. The other side is often bordered by dense woods or forest terrain which make running paths closed off with limited visibility. The variable terrain leading down from the normal ground to the water allows for favorable hiding spots for predators. The water's natural sounds and noises can also provide coverage for a predator. Well-Lit Roads & Paths Well-lit roads and paths are the best options for runners and joggers in parks at any hour of the day since they are normally the most populated and provide greater visibility even in darker settings. These well-lit areas are typically popular running routes and therefore discourage criminals from loitering in those areas. If something were to happen, there are normally bystanders or other runners in the area to call for help or personally intervene. Fields and Open Clearings Fields and open clearings are typically populated by families, children, and groups of adults, which make them great for running or jogging. The presence of recreational activities and gathering points increases the likelihood of bystanders and decreases the likelihood of violent crime. Open areas also provide a clear line of sight and greater visibility with less obstructions, which makes it easier to observe people from far away and evaluate their risk level. There's also more space to maneuver if someone were to present a risk, and you'd be provided with several different escape routes if necessary. Bridges and Tunnels Bridges and tunnels can be a potential area of concern for joggers due to their enclosed nature and limited visibility. A bridge or tunnel typically only has two ends and therefore only two escape routes if someone were to attack you. Bridges and tunnels also normally don't have much lighting or very poor lighting which hinders visibility. As mentioned earlier, the water's natural sounds provide coverage for a predator and added elements that can throw off a jogger. #armyourself

The pinhole camera that showed everything. "Another Saturday night," groaned Thomas. He mopped up a mess of spilled beer at the back of his convenience store. Some punk knocked it off the shelf, and then ran out the door without even apologizing. As he bent down to pick up the shards of broken glass, a heard what he could swear sounded like snakes hissing. He straightened himself up -- and stared directly into the barrel of a shotgun. "You stay where you are, old man, and you stay alive," growled the masked gunman. The gunman glanced at his accomplice, who was spraying black paint over the lens of the security camera behind Thomas' register. The accomplice hopped down from the counter and flashed a thumbs up sign at the gunman. The gunman ripped the ski mask from his face and complained. "I hate those things," he said. "I can never see what I'm doing. Now, open up the safe and you get to live." Thomas complied, moving behind the counter to enter the manual override combination into his counter safe. He piled all of the evening's receipts into a brown paper bag and passed it along to the thieves. The lead gunman boasted on the way out the door, "You see? When you pick the right place, you can do these jobs in style. No goofy masks and no hurry!" Thomas just smiled. As soon as the thieves pulled out of the parking lot, he called 9-1-1. When the detectives asked Thomas to provide a description, he smiled and said, "I can do a lot better than that." Everyone in the room stared at Thomas' split-screen security video. They watched the thieves disable the parking lot camera, followed by the blacking out of the two inside lenses. But a 4th frame showed everything that happened that night, especially the unmasking of the robbers. "I don't get it," one of the cops said, craning his neck around the room. "They cased this place out and took out the cameras. How'd they miss that one?" Thomas grinned and pointed at the Electrical Box. A pinhole security camera peeked out at everyone in the room. "That sign does a lot more than show folks the way out of the store," Thomas said. "It shows criminals the way off the streets." Sure enough, Thomas captured crystal clear images of the thieves practically staring into the camera. Once those pictures hit the local news, the cops had them both in custody within a matter of hours. They hadn't even had time to spend the money. And they looked better with the masks on. Dedicated to your Peace of Mind & Real Security, https://armyourself.us PS: Every business owner knows he needs security.
