Personal Safety Class
"Savvy & Safe" Personal Safety Workshop © Duane Lucia
The "Savvy & Safe" Philosophy:
- 90% of self-defense is psychological; through PREVENTION and PROBLEM SOLVING most dangerous situations can be avoided.
- Physical confrontation is CRISIS MANAGEMENT-a last resort for personal safety and typically represents a breakdown in Prevention and/or Problem Solving.
- The best way to stay safe is to control the key variables in one's environment: TIME, LIGHT, and NOISE. This formula works on both the level of Prevention and Problem Solving.

Reporting Crime:
Reporting a crime to authorities is only as valuable as your ability to give an accurate description of the elements involved. The physical characteristics of your assailant are of the greatest importance. Clothing should also be noted, but is less important because it can obviously be changed. Motor vehicles, if involved, are significant as well. Note license plate number, color, make, model, and any distinguishing marks or other decorations. When getting an assailant's physical description, pay attention to the following characteristics:
- ETHNIC/RACIAL APPEARANCE
- HEIGHT
- BUILD
- EYE COLOR
- HAIR COLOR, LENGTH, TEXTURE
- SKIN COLOR
- SCARS/TATTOOS
- BODY LANGUAGE/MOVEMENTS/MANERISMS
- TONE OF VOICE AND MENTION OF ANY NAMES/PLACE, ETC
