The important information was shared in a new TikTok video this week posted by Scott Bryson, who claims that he worked in the United States Secret Service for many years.
Retired Secret Service agent dishes his little-known safety tips A purported ex-secret service agent has revealed his top tips for keeping safe while you're in public - and some of them may be surprising.
'Ladies, especially you, listen, when you're parked here... if you come out and there's a car parked right beside you, and I mean super close to the line or something like that, that should be a red flag,' Bryson shared.
The first tip that he shared in the video was simple - and that was to always make sure you put away your phone when you park your car and go into a store.
'Stay off your phone' (stock image)] Although he is now retired, he still takes to social media to share his tips and tricks - and this time was no different, as he urged everyone to be 'observant' while outside the home.
