A good example of a police 'stay safe' poster

I think this one is simple, clear, yet manages to avoid targeting women specifically. I think Northumbria Police have a pretty good attitude to women, possibly due to the influence of Vera Baird as the PCC.

Its a bit out with the girlies but the advice is sound

I like that poster.

Yes there's a lot of pink but there's also blue, purple and yellow. It doesn't scream this message is just for the girls to me - although I do agree it's not entirely neutral.

Maybe there's another poster in another station where the drink is a pint glass.

Advice is very practical too.

Ok, I see your point. There have been other posters in the past with the same text that were less pink. On the other hand, I like that it's giving practical advice rather than saying a generic 'be careful' like that one that was poster in AIBU earlier in the week. And the advice is equally applicable to either sex.

It's pink and the drink is a cocktail. Doesn't scream neutral to me
