Chattanooga police suggest the following safety precautions for parking garages:
• When entering a garage, look where the exits and well-lit areas are. If possible, park close to an exit, or in a well-lit area.
• If you notice anyone suspicious, tell somebody. This person may leave you alone, but could attack someone else.
• When returning to your vehicle have your keys in your hand to avoid having to look for them.
• Walk up straight and confident - do not let anyone make you nervous.
• Scan the area around your car - be alert and aware of your surroundings.
• Trust your instincts. If you do not trust something or do not feel comfortable, turn around and ask a security guard to walk you to your car.
• Call 911 if something happens to you or someone else, or you notice anyone out of the ordinary. It is important to report incidents immediately.
