Know safe places you can go to on your way home if you have trouble. A trusted neighbor's house would be great.

Once You Are Home
When walking up to your house, look for Anything out of the ordinary. If you spot something or someone suspicious, go to a trusted neighbor's and call the police. Wait for the police to arrive before entering your home.

Call your mom or dad when you get home and let them know you are home and ok.

Keep doors, windows & garage locked and closed.

If anyone calls, don't let them know you are alone. Tell them your parents can't come to the phone but will call them back soon. Be sure to get their phone number if they will give it to you.

If someone comes to the door, use the peephole or look through a window to see who it is.

Don't open the door to anyone, unless your parents have said it's OK.

Follow your parents' rules about activities and leaving the house.

Make sure you tell them if you plan on leaving for any reason.

If you feel scared or someone is trying to Get in, call your emergency number or 911.
