STATE INTERNAL PROTECTIVE SERVICES, INC.
SIPS’s team focuses on safety first and tries to prevent you not to
become a victim of carjacking.
There are several ways that you can protect yourself from being the victim
of a carjacking incident:
- Always park in well lighted areas
- When approaching the vehicle, keep the keys in your hand
- Check the area around the vehicle for suspicious persons when you are
approaching it
- Keep the doors and windows shut when you are driving the vehicle
- When stopping at a traffic signal or stop sign, try to allow sufficient
space to change into another lane
- Travel on well traveled and illuminated roads
- Be familiar with the streets and the locations you plan to visit
- Keep road maps out of sight to avoid being identified as a being
unfamiliar with the area
- Never open the vehicle for strangers If you are confronted by a
carjacker remember:
- Choose life over property...give up the vehicle and walk away
(preferably to the rear of the car)
- If pushed inside the car, attempt to escape through any other door
