Winnipeg Police School Engagement Officers encourage parents and educators to remind youngsters of the following street safety tips:
· Use the buddy system. Walk together with a friend, sibling or a parent rather than alone when you are going to and from places. There is safety in numbers.
· If approached by a stranger, never go with him or her. Trust your instincts, turn and run the opposite way and tell a grown up as soon as possible.
· Never accept a ride from a stranger. If approached by someone in a car offering you a ride, keep a safe distance away.
· If a stranger is following you, in a car or on foot, run home or to the nearest public place (police station, fire hall, bank, restaurant or a block parent house - or any place that would have plenty of people).
· Know not all strangers are dangerous. Find a safe person such as a police officer or a cadet in uniform, firefighters or paramedics in uniform or bus driver and ask for help.
