The Glynn County Fire Department offer these
tips to help prevent purse snatching and protect possessions.
1.
If possible, don't carry a purse. Carry your wallet, keys and
other valuables in a pants pocket or in an inside pocket of a
jacket.
2.
Use the purse to carry brushes, make-up or other items that
you can afford to lose.
3.
Don't carry large amounts of money; take credit cards or
checks instead. Maintain a record of the card numbers at home
and carry only those cards that you will be using.
4.
If you carry a purse, secure it between your arm and body,
away from traffic. An even more secure method, if you are
wearing a coat, is to sling the purse over your shoulder, but
under the coat.
5.
Don't let your purse hang loosely in your hand.
6.
Consider carrying a "fanny pack" instead of a purse.
7.
Don't carry a lethal weapon; it could be used against you.
8.
If you do become a victim, notify the police immediately after
the attack. In Glynn County dial 911 or 554-7800.
