The Fort Lauderdale Police Department’s Bar Watch program offers spring breakers tips on how to reduce their risk of becoming crime victims:
Travel in a group. Check-in with each other and leave together. Don’t be isolated.
Trust your instincts. If a situation feels unsafe or uncomfortable, it probably is.
Watch your drink. Never leave it unattended. Don’t accept drinks from strangers.
Be aware of your surroundings. Know what is going on around you.
Don’t feel obligated. Don’t do anything you don’t want to or feel uncomfortable about.
