Just because I spend my days, and sometimes my nights, tracking down degenerates, doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate a bit of humor once in a while.

So sue me, I picked one with an important message.

Here are a few tips from a group of kids. I asked them, “How do you stay safe?”

  • Stay in a corner
  • Hide in a closet
  • Look before you walk
  • Stay away from shifty-eyed people
  • Bad guys always wear black, except Zorro

The next time you’re out, challenge yourself to get a baseline for the space you enter, and see if you can determine how many people are in the area, the number of exits (without going through a window,) and identify any anomalies (things you wouldn’t expect to happen in that space – like a bear doing the moonwalk.)

Go train.
