ALWAYS BEV
Always Be Vigilant
At Always Bev, our mission is to educate and empower individuals with skills to prevent crime and violent attacks on innocent people and communities. We emphasize the importance of awareness in everyday situations along with the significance in trusting our intuition.
"As you move about your daily routines, never let your guard down. The trickiest predators are the ones that walk among us, waiting and watching for an opportunity." ~Barb Jordan~
ALWAYS BEV
Always Bev was created in honor of my sister Beverly, who was tragically killed by her fiancé. Always Bev's commitment and passion is to help prevent others from being assaulted and becoming a victim. The Always Bev Personal Safety workshop has been called "life changing," and has been welcomed across the country in businesses, universities and communities.
Learning to be more aware as you move about your daily routine will allow you to identify warning signs and help keep a safe environment for you, your family and friends. Always Bev will empower you to trust your intuition and also provide you with skills that will allow you to make quick decisions, including specific actions to take if ever approached, vulnerable or physically threatened.
We make at least one decision a day that can determine our safety. This class will enlighten you to think daily about your choices and your encounters with people.
The Always Be Vigilant presentation is by far the most important part of my life's journey." Barb Jordan, Founder, Always Bev.

SAFETY TIPS
1
Safety in Numbers
There is safety in numbers. When you have the chance, take somebody with you. If possible try and stay in groups of 3 or more.
2
Body Language
Your body language should be strong and with a good walking pace. Keep your head and eyes up. Make eye contact with people who approch you and those that loiter in your environment.
3
Space
When passing somebody make sure there is space, and that you create your own walking lane. If you pass somebody and feel concerned, it is OK to look back over your shoulder.
4
Understand Intrusive Conversations
Understand intrusive conversations and pay attention to the personal information you are sharing with others, even if they are a familiar face.
5
Set Ground Rules
Set ground rules at home, work, and campus for friends, guests and others that enter your inner circle.
6
Confide in Family and Friends
Confide in your family and friends about a person in your life whose actions are concerning, especially if you keep getting a nagging feeling.
7
Stand Firm
Stand firm if your response to somebody is “No.’ Your first thought is usually the right thought. Don't be charmed or manipulated to change your decision. Trust your intuition. Honor your "No."
8
Report Concerning Behavior
If you are concerned about the behavior of an individual, report it. Some examples include threatening words, intimidation, aggression, stalking, and angry outbursts.
