The Houston Police Department Robbery Division would like to offer the following robbery prevention tips for individuals:

A robbery is one of the most serious and potentially dangerous crimes committed in the United States today. A suspect often commits the crime because he or she believes that their profit will be worth the risk. By decreasing the possible profit and increasing the risk of apprehension, potential victims can reduce their chance of becoming a target.

1.         Things to remember if you become a victim of a robbery:

           Remain calm and do not resist

           Do not try to be a hero. Take no action that would jeopardize your own safety

           Follow the robber's directions, but do not volunteer more than he asks for

           Advise the robber of any unusual moves you must make. Assure him you will cooperate

           MAKE MENTAL NOTES -- Make a mental note of the robber's race, age, height sex, clothing, complexion, color of hair and eyes, etc. Note anything unusual about the robber, such as scars or tattoos.

2.         What to do after a robbery has occurred:

           Call the police immediately after the robbery. The person who calls the police should be able to stay on the phone if the dispatcher requests

           All witnesses should write down a description of all the suspects. Do not discuss the robbery or compare notes about the robber's appearance with anyone

           Protect the crime scene. Do not touch anything
