Avoid shortcuts through alleys, parks, vacant lots, or other deserted places
Walk in the middle of the sidewalk facing traffic
If the driver of a car stops and harasses you, walk in the opposite direction
If you have a cell phone, carry it with you when walking or driving and be prepared to use it to call for help. Know what numbers to call and be prepared to give your exact location to the emergency operator

The SAPD has a HEAT (Help End Auto Theft) program, where you put a decal on your car, and any time between the hours of 1:00am and 5:00am, if the car is being driven, the police (statewide!) have your permission in advance to stop the car, and also if it is being driven into Mexico. You must register your car, and all authorized drivers with the police. Click here for more information on this program.
