Dealing With Mugging

Travel in company if possible, plan your route so as to avoid dark streets or places where you could be ambushed. Pay attention to your surroundings, potential hiding places and escape routes.

Do not carry items of value that you do not need, only carry the essential.

Do not wear expensive items of jewellery if you are out on the street, you are just inviting trouble.

Most people who face a mugger are concerned with the property they may lose. A mobile phone and credit cards are easily replaced, a life is lost forever and is worth far more than a phone or plastic.

A women whose bag is being snatched will pull back on the bag pulling the attacker towards them. Do not struggle - just let them have it.

When faced with a mugger, give him what he wants and in most cases he will leave.

Muggers use the threat of violence to instil fear in their victims, a physical attack is rare.

Our training courses will help you gain the confidence required to deal effectively with confrontation in a calm and positive way without fear.
