As part of its Crime Prevention Strategy, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) on Friday released crime prevention tips to the general public.
“Crime can happen anywhere. Protect yourself, others and property by staying alert, safety conscious and informed. Trust your instincts; if something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t,” GPF spokesman Jairam Ramlakhan said in a statement detailing the recommendations that follow:
Signs of suspicious behavior
– Attempting to enter a residence or vehicle without proper access.
– Body language that suggests being watched or chased.
– Forcibly attempting to enter a locked vehicle or building.
– Transactions conducted from vehicles, especially near schools or parks.
– One or more persons sitting in a parked car closely scanning an area.
– A person seemingly forced into a vehicle.
– An individual displaying unusual mental or physical symptoms.
– Unusual noises, including gunshots, screaming, sounds of fighting, barking dogs or anything suggesting foul play, danger or illegal activity.
