Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Police offer the following personal safety advice leading up to Xmas:
Consider carrying a personal attack alarm, these can be obtained from most DIY stores. Harringey Safer Neighbourhoods team has a limited supply of personal alarms. Please contact the team on 020 8721 2677.
Keep your mind on your surroundings – remember if you are wearing a personal stereo or talking on your mobile phone you will not hear trouble approaching.
If you think you are being followed, trust your instincts and take action. As confidently as you can, cross the road or change direction, turning to look to see who is behind you. If you are still being followed, keep moving. Make for a busy area and tell people what is happening.
If you are concerned call the police on 999
Try to keep both hands free and don’t walk with your hands in your pockets.
Beware of anyone who warns you of the danger of walking alone or tries to engage you in conversation as an excuse to accompany you.
If you are going out and returning home late at night or in the early morning consider booking a cab to take you safely door to door and get the driver to wait until you are through your front door
