In light of the recent sex assaults and attempted abduction this week, WA Police would like to remind everyone about their personal safety.

Some general safety tips to remember are:

• Be aware of your surroundings at all times and who or what is nearby.
• Program 000 and 131444 police phone numbers into your mobile phone.
• Walk with a friend or group wherever possible.
• Walk in well-lit areas that are clear of overgrown bushes or trees.
• Have your keys ready before you get to your car.
• Check the area surrounding your car and your car’s back seat before getting in.
• Drive with your doors locked.
• When travelling on public transport such as buses or trains, sit near other people, a guard or the driver.
• If using trains and you feel unsafe about walking to your car, ask a Transit Officer to escort you.
• Above all, listen to your intuition.
