    According to the City of West Hollywood’s crime prevention and safety devision, precautions should always be taken, no matter where you go.

    When going to a bar, a party, or other social event, try not to go alone. Bring a friend so you can watch out for each other, and you won’t have to walk to your car by yourself. Never accept a drink from anyone except the bartender and watch your drink being mixed. Don’t share or exchange drinks. Never leave your drink unattended, giving someone the opportunity to slip something into it. If in doubt, order a new drink just to be on the safe side. Never leave a bar or club with someone you have just met, especially if you are feeling intoxicated. If you do leave the bar with someone, make sure your friend or someone knows that you are leaving, and with whom.”

    Most importantly, stay sober. Alcohol impairs judgement and memory.

    Sexual Assault Prevention Safety Tips include:

    • Learn neighborhood danger zones and avoid them, such as dark parking lots, alleys, walk ways with tall shrubs, walls and fences.
    • Move away from unsafe situations if you feel threatened.
    • Run! Scream “Help”, “Call 9-1-1” or “Fire” for quickest response.

    When in Bars & Clubs:
    Know Before You Go: if you go home with someone you don’t know, first introduce the person to friends, bartenders or others you know. Exchange names and phone numbers.
    Remember drinking and partying affects your judgement.
