What if someone is kidnapped?

Ways to deal with kidnapping include keeping calm, looking for opportunities for help, recording key information and contacting family and friends.

1. Stay calm: When you are kidnapped, the first task is to stay calm and not to irritate the kidnappers. Remember not to resist or run away, which may make the kidnappers more violent. Without attracting attention, observe the surrounding environment and remember details, such as sound, smell, route, etc. In order to ask for help later.

2. Seek help opportunities: actively seek help opportunities while ensuring safety. Observe whether there are other people around, especially law enforcement officers such as police and security personnel. At an appropriate time, use eyes, gestures or code words to convey their kidnapping to them.

3. Record key information: When appropriate, try to record key information, such as kidnapper characteristics, vehicle license plate number, details in the kidnapping process, etc. This information will help the police to determine the identity and location of the kidnappers during the rescue.

4. Contact family and friends: After being rescued, contact family and friends as soon as possible to inform yourself of your safety. At the same time, they are required to cooperate with the police to provide possible clues to help the police solve the case.
