Know the Hand Gesture

Did you know there’s a discreet hand gesture someone can give to a friend, family member, member of law enforcement, colleague or stranger to let them know they need help – whether the person is in a domestic violence situation, a victim of human trafficking or in another dangerous situation. But it only works if you know the hand gesture. Make sure you know it and show it to everyone you know. See the image pictured on the right.

Watch a Youtube video that demonstrates the hand signal and how it may be used.

Beyond Iowa MVE Model: Best Practices Document
