This looks like more of a cover yourself statement from the San Marcos Police dept. Heaven help us if someone tries to defend themselves and ends up getting hurt. The PD would then be liable for damages because they suggested in print that us lowly sheep do something aggressive.dihappy wrote:ROBBERY PREVENTION / TIPS
• If confronted, try to stay calm.
• If a suspect says they have a weapon, do not force their
bluff.
• When facing someone wielding a weapon do not resist,
cooperate.
• Never try to apprehend a suspect yourself.
• Mentally note the assailant’s appearance without staring.
• After the confrontation, go to the phone and dial 9-1-1 as
soon as possible.
• Robbers usually ‘case’ their target so look for people
loitering in a parking lot or acting nervous or ‘just not right’.
• Display height markers for identifying suspects.
• Keep small amounts of cash on hand if possible.
• Use a drop safe that is visible.
