Countywide, FCPD is reminding residents to take safety precautions when they go outside after two women were assaulted on Centreville walking trails last month:

• Run, jog or walk in areas that are familiar to you.
• If you are walking in an unfamiliar location, bring a friend along with you.
• Avoid running, jogging or walking in a poorly lit or secluded area or after dark.
• Tell someone where you’ll be and share your GPS location with them.
• Do not wear headphones or earbuds.
• Switch up your route and pattern so your actions aren’t predictable.
• Be aware of your surroundings.
