Personal Safety Tips
AVUHSD is committed to providing a safe and secure school environment for employees and students. In light of recent events across the country, please take a moment to consider your OWN security. Some helpful tips are provided below for your general information relating to personal security. There are many informational sites available on the internet than may help you and your family. For example, UC San Diego has great tips including security in and around your home, while driving, while on the telephone, in an elevator and more.
Information courtesy of University of California, San Diego:
Apartment or home - Install and use locks on your doors and windows. Keep doors locked day or night whether you are home or not. Know who is at the door before opening it. Insist on seeing an ID from anyone you do not know. If someone comes to your door and asks to use your telephone to call for help, offer instead to make the call. Door-to-door solicitation should be avoided. You should never open your door to it at any time. At home, or when out, give your home a "someone is home" look. Put radio and lights on a timer. Maintain good lighting around entrances. Leave spare keys with a friend, not in accessible places. Keep emergency numbers near the telephone.
Driving a car - Have your keys in your hand as you approach your car. Lock your doors when driving and after parking. Check the backseat and floor before entering your car. Keep your valuables out of sight, under the seat, or in the glove compartment or trunk. Park in well-lighted areas. If you have car trouble, signal for help by raising the hood or tying a handkerchief to the door handle. Remain in your car with doors locked until identifiable help arrives. Should another motorist offer to help, roll down the window slightly and ask them to call the police or an auto club. Keep an emergency kit containing a flashlight, flares, telephone change, distress signs, and other essentials in your car. To protect your car, use a lock bar that prohibits the use of the steering wheel. Consider also the installation of an alarm system, ignition by-pass, or fuel shut-off switch in your car.
On the telephone - Be wary of telephone surveys. If you receive a threatening or obscene telephone call, hang up. Contact the Police Department and make a report. Answering machines are useful in screening calls. Your outgoing message should not say that you are away from home.
Self defense - If someone tries to snatch your purse, let it go. Most injuries from robberies occur when people resist during purse snatches. If you are attacked, whether you resist and how you resist will depend on your personal resources and your personal values. Give some thought right now to what you would do in various situations that could arise. The more you have thought ahead, the more likely you will be to act in the way you have planned. In considering your reactions to different situations, keep these three basic rules in mind:
Trust your instincts. Don't be afraid to be impolite or make a scene; this is especially important if someone you know threatens or attacks you. Try to remain calm and use your good judgment! See the website for more.
