Safety tips for spending time in San Francisco Bay Area

• Keep your eyes up, your ears open, and your phone away on city streets and public transportation. This will lower the chance of theft and keep you safe on San Francisco Bay Area busy streets.
• Carry your wallet in the front pocket of your pants or the inside pocket of your jacket.
• Avoid leaving bags on the ground or over the back of your chair.
• Bay Area folks are knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. We encourage visitors to ask shopkeepers, hotel staff, or police officers for assistance.
• As always, you can dial 911 to:
  • Report a crime in progress.
  • Report an emergency situation.
  • Request help for someone having a medical or psychiatric emergency.
