The Dogs of Isham Park's official WATCHDOG wants to remind all of basic safety tips to stay safe
· Be aware of who is around you.
· If you are alone, DO NOT wear headphones or talk on cell phones,especially iPods and iphones.
· A group of 3 to 4 teens have been working together. One approaches you from the front and the others lurk behind you; the one in the front and asks you for the time before they rob/assault you.
· If you are being mugged then it's better to give the mugger what he/she wants. Your life is worth more than the cash/electronic product!
· Call or have someone call 911 and stay until a full report is given to the NYPD.
· Use caution when using ATMs and don't carry too much cash around with you -- most places accept credit cards and there are ATMs everywhere.
· After dark, stick to main streets or walk up Broadway and then up 218th. If you have doubts, listen to your instincts; take a cab, especially late at night.
· If taking the subway late at night, stand near the "During off hours trains stop here" sign or in view of the Metro-Card booth. Ride in cars with more people and preferably in the conductor's car (you will see him/her look out the window of the train when it stops). Try to wait for others that are going your way and walk together.
