How do I protect myself from an armed robbery?

1. Situational awareness is your best friend. It doesn’t mean that you always are paranoid or living in “condition orange,” but it does mean that you know Col. Cooper’s color code of awareness and you live by it. Pay attention to your surroundings, and recognize that when you’re in public places you need to be more aware of your surroundings than when you’re in private. This armed robbery was definitely made worse because the officer didn’t see it coming until it was right on top of him. Don’t forget to keep aware of your surroundings!
