Safety tips for those who will be in the centre

For this year, the municipality has promised to strengthen the police in the region Anhangabaú Valleyand said it will use new strategies to do so curb criminal practices. But it is better, as always, to trust yourself more.
The Public Security Secretariat set up a mega security system to ensure that the event could take place over the weekend. The strategy includes technological tools to monitor social networks and prevent the commission of previously “agreed” crimes.
In addition to the traffic police, a team from the Department of Homicide and Personal Protection (DHPP) will be present in open forums and discussion groups on social media to identify groups that may practice racial, religious and sexual intolerance, among others.

More than 200 vehicles will also be used to ensure the safety of the public who will be able to attend the presentations.
Follow these tips to protect yourself:
1. Keep cell phones and wallets in safe places
Avoid large pockets and bags to store your cell phone, wallet and personal documents. This can make it easier for thieves to do so, as it makes the victim’s belongings more accessible. Give preference to internal pouches, commonly called doleiras.
2. Not everywhere is safe to use a cell phone
Seeing police officers and vehicles with sirens flashing on the sides of the Vale do Anhangabaú does not mean that the place is 100% safe. Criminals, unlike the police, will be in the audience. When you want to take photos or check WhattsApp, prefer to do it in safer places, such as near vehicles.
3. Avoid being in crowds
The more crowded the local area, the easier it will be for some criminals to act. Areas closer to the stage tend to be busier and should therefore be avoided. At the same time, it is important to avoid empty paths within the Centre, to avoid the risk of robberies. Also avoid passing through narrow and easily crowded corridors, such as Rua Direita and 24 de Maio. Prefer wider roads.
4. Choose shows at quieter times
If your concern goes beyond the loss of your personal belongings and also concerns your physical safety, it is good to pay attention to the show times. If you can, give preference to shows running from 6pm to 10pm on Saturday and Sunday mornings, which tend to be quieter and more family-friendly.
5. Choose your “refuge points”
Just as near vehicles are quieter places for those who browse social media, choose some places where you feel more comfortable, such as inside bars and restaurants. In general, people feel freer and are less attentive when, for example, they are queuing for public toilets. It is good to remember that it is in this moment of inattention that criminals take the opportunity to prey on their victims.
