Remember these safety tips when encountering a crime:

 

1. Try to get a useful description of the assailant:

Your memory can be a powerful tool. If it’s safe to do so, try to remember or discreetly note:

• Distinct tattoos or piercings
• Facial features (eye color, facial hair, scars, etc.)
• Height, weight, or build
• Clothing or accessories
• Any vehicles involved (make, model, color, license plate)

These small details can help authorities quickly identify the suspect and potentially prevent further harm to others.

Wearing discreet protection like our WHX Bulletproof Hoodie can give you valuable seconds to observe and escape safely.

 

2. Go to a safe location close to the crime scene and call the police immediately using 9-1-1.

Your safety is the top priority. Once you’re no longer in immediate danger, head to a safe place, whether that’s inside a nearby business, your car, or a populated area. Then call 9-1-1. Report what happened clearly and calmly, and provide your location.

If you're carrying a bag, consider turning it into a mobile shield with our Bulletproof Backpack Insert.

 

3. Seek medical attention.  Check for wounds or bruises and have them treated immediately.

Even if injuries seem minor, get checked immediately. Adrenaline can mask pain, and internal injuries or concussions may not be immediately visible. Check yourself for cuts, bruises, or internal injuries and seek medical help without delay. This is especially important if a weapon was involved or you were physically assaulted.

First responders can assess you on-site or transport you to a hospital if necessary. Medical records can also support any legal case later on.

 

4. Ask witnesses to stay and make a statement to the police.

If you’re not alone, try to encourage any bystanders or witnesses to wait for the police. Witness testimony can be key in identifying the suspect and building a case. If they can’t stay, ask for their contact info to pass along to law enforcement.

You may feel vulnerable while waiting. Our Bulletproof Tactical Vest offers discreet, reliable protection when you need it most.

 

5. Contact the police if you remember additional information or details.

Sometimes, details don’t come to you until hours or even days later. If you remember anything like what the person said, where they went, or what vehicle they were driving, don’t hesitate to contact the police again and add to your statement. Every detail matters.

Even delayed information, like spotting the assailant again or recalling a specific phrase, can aid in the investigation.

 

6. Get help from professionals or support groups. Reach out to friends and family.

Being a victim of crime can leave emotional wounds that take time to heal. Don’t isolate yourself. Reach out to friends, family, professionals, or support groups who can help you process what happened and rebuild a sense of safety and control.
