Staying Safe Together
On this day of reflection, we’re reminded of the importance of community, awareness, and responsibility. Each of us plays a role in keeping our spaces—whether at work, at home, or in public—safe and secure.
Awareness Matters
- Pay attention to your surroundings.
- Trust your instincts—if something feels out of place, it probably is.
- Protect not only physical spaces but also digital ones by staying mindful of privacy and security practices.
Your Voice is Powerful
- If you notice unusual behavior, unattended items, or suspicious activity, speak up.
- Share your concern with the appropriate security personnel, supervisors, or local authorities.
- Remember: reporting is about prevention, not assumption.
Respect and Responsibility
- Our strength lies in watching out for each other while respecting privacy and individual dignity.
- The simple act of noticing and sharing concerns helps create a culture of safety for everyone.
See something. Say something.
Together, we can ensure safer, stronger communities.
