TIPS WHEN VISITING RESTAURANTS AND BARS:
* When dining or drinking outdoors at an establishment, keep your purse, phone, and/or other valuables out of reach of would-be thieves.
* While enjoying the many wonderful establishments in Mid-City, please always be mindful of your surroundings, particularly if you’ve been drinking alcohol. Persons crimes are usually crimes of opportunity.
* When leaving an establishment — when possible — ask someone to watch and/or walk you to your car.
* If, while walking to your car, you see something that gives you an uneasy feeling, walk back into the establishment and wait until you feel the threat has passed.
* If you see something suspicious at an establishment, report it to management immediately.
TIPS WHEN AT HOME:
* In an emergency, call 911 immediately.
* For non-emergencies, call 504-821-2222 first, to have the call documented. Then — if you live within the boundaries of MCSD, and have registered your contact information –- in addition to requesting a police escort to and from your home, you are also encouraged to call in reports of suspicious individuals and activities. You may also call to report noise complaints.
