The Northfield Police Department has provided the following personal safety tips for residents:

• Stay alert at all times with your head up and looking around.
• Keep your mind on your surroundings, and what is around you.
• If you’re worried about being out by yourself, ask a friend to accompany you.
• Walk with determination. A confident looking person is less likely to be approached.
• Carry a cell phone or know where telephones are available.
• Trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable in a place or situation, leave.
