Also be alert for any unusual containers or objects near your doors or car. Alert others to gain their assistance in providing safety and protection. Tell your employer that your Order of Protection restrains your abuser from calling you at work or coming to the office. If you live in an apartment, give a picture of your abuser to the neighbors, manager or building security and tell them to call the police if they see him on or around the property. You should also give them a copy of the Order.
Car safety is also important.
Always check the front and rear passenger areas before entering the car whether it is day or night and then lock the car doors as soon as you are in the car. If possible, do not walk alone and only park in well-lit areas. Be alert for vehicles following you. Try to vary the times you leave for work and come home . Change your routes to work, school, and shopping.
