As a result of recent incidents which have occurred within the city? we would like to take this opportunity to remind staff about personal safety issues.

When walking home from work or to your car? be alert and do not walk alone through isolated areas which could make you more vulnerable.

Avoid taking short cuts even if you are late and only use roads that are well–lit and well traveled? avoiding dark alleyways and parks.

If you are walking at night? don’t use a mobile phone or MP3 player?– you can be too distracted to notice things happening around you. Be aware of your surroundings at all times? walk purposefully? confidently and keep moving.

By being aware of your personal safety, you can greatly reduce the risk when you are out at night.
