Boston PD Tips for Walking Safe 
- Be aware of your surroundings, especially at night. Keep your head up and make quick eye contact with those around you.
- Don't be distracted by talking on a cell phone or listening to music. Keep your ears uncovered.
- Avoid walking alone late at night. Walk with friends and people you know.
- Yelling "Fire!" "Help!" or "Rape!" are ways of drawing attention and alerting people that you need help.
- Walk with confidence. Be assertive. Don't let anyone violate your space.
- Trust your instincts and believe in your ability to scare, distract or even incapacitate an attacker enough to escape.
- Call 911 at any time.

Boston Beaches Near the T!
Feeling trapped in the city? Need some sun and sand? There are plenty of T-accessible beaches near Boston.

Spectacle Island is the most popular. More Carson Beach, South Boston Take the Red Line to the UMass stop. There is little surf, but it is close to home and easily accessible. More Revere Beach is the oldest public beach in the USA. Take the Blue Line to the Wonderland stop. More Singing Beach, Manchester-By-The-Sea Hop on the Rockport commuter line then walk 15 minutes to this quiet beach, named for the distinct squeak the sand makes when you walk on it. More

SAFEnet Advisory:
See Something, Say Something
People often delay notifying the police when they see something suspicious. Saying something to the police could prevent a theft or other crime.
Call 911 if you observe a suspicious occurrence from a safe location.
If on campus, call Northeastern Police at
617-373-3333.
Try to call before the person has left the area and provide a description of the person, where they were, what they were doing, what they were carrying (i.e. backpack or hat), and where they are now or in which direction they traveled. Did they have any distinctive speech characteristics? What did they say?
Don't confront, argue or chase after a suspicious person. Do notify the police and calmly provide a description and direction of travel, if possible.
