Frequently Asked Questions

What is 'jugging' and how can I avoid it?

'Jugging' is the crime of following someone from a bank or ATM to rob them of cash. To avoid it, be highly aware of your surroundings, note suspicious vehicles, and avoid displaying large amounts of cash. Criminals often use common cars to blend in.

What are the safest practices for entering my garage?

Your garage is a transitional space. Always close the garage door immediately upon entry. If possible, back into your garage so you can see the street and potential threats until the door is secured.

Should I chase a criminal who stole my property?

No, it is strongly discouraged to chase criminals for stolen property. The risk of encountering multiple armed suspects or being injured is not worth the monetary loss. Your life is more valuable than replaceable cash.

What role does situational awareness play in personal safety?

Situational awareness is critical as it buys you time and options. Being attentive to your environment, especially when carrying valuables or in high-risk areas like ATMs, helps you detect threats early and react appropriately.
