If you work late, try to find another worker or a security guard to walk out with you. If you are in the elevator with another person, stand near the control panel. If you are attacked, press the alarm and as many of the control buttons as possible. Be alert to pickpockets on crowded elevators. Be aware of escape routes for emergencies, and post the phone numbers of the police and fire departments near telephones.
Many criminals target favorite areas and have predictable methods of operation.
When you report all the facts about a crime, it helps the police assign officers in the places where crimes are occurring or where they are most likely to occur. At least one out of two crimes does not get reported. If you don't report crime, this allows the criminal to continue to operate without interference. In many cases, it is the information provided by victims and witnesses that leads to the arrest of a criminal.
