What Should I Do If I am a Robbery Victim?
DO NOT PANIC — get a grip on yourself and stay calm. Take some deep breaths.
DO NOT RESIST — the robber wants your valuables, not you. “Things” can always be replaced … you can not.
OBEY THE ROBBER’S INSTRUCTIONS — listen closely to what the robber says and do not argue. Try to remember the exact words spoken by the robber as it may help with the police investigation.
BE ALERT — notice what is happening.
LOOK FOR DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS — look for things that can not be changed such as scars, marks, tattoos, limps, accents, etc.
WEAPONS — take careful note of any weapons. You will have to describe it later to the police. If the robber indicates that there is a weapon in his pocket, assume it is a gun. If the robber has a gun, assume it is loaded.
DESCRIPTION OF ROBBER — compare the robber to your own height and weight to estimate the size of your attacker.
COOPERATE WITH THE POLICE — if you are robbed, or see someone else being robbed, report it to the police immediately.
Respectfully,
Major Steven T Ward
