A guide to personal security

Our own security and the safety of those close to us is of the utmost importance. The more you do to 'Protect Yourself', the safer you and your family will be. 

The precautions you take will be determined by the extent or the level of the threat you are likely to encounter. This can be assessed by giving consideration to:

  • Environment
  • Profession
  • Specific threats
  • Personal history

The security measures taken should be appropriate to the perceived threat. If they are excessive, they may cause unnecessary inconvenience and stress. If they are insufficient, you may put yourself at risk.
