I think the guns will work better than the whistles. Just a hunch.

Dial 911 and die?
Why?
Shoot the rapist, call a lawyer, and then notify the police on the non-emergency line.
Since the situation was handled appropriately (except for the PC required lawyer call) why tie up the 911 line?

If you can’t run away — fight and scream.
If you have a ccw, you know what to do.

Keys instead of a gun. I’m guessing Santa Fe is one of those ultra-liberal “gun free zone” type cities.

Just explain you have a STD. It’s called lead poisoning. You first go deaf, then your eyes go dark, then profuse bleeding.

New Mexico is a RTC state. Women should get a gun!

Are these the same tactics used by the Santa Fe Police when they are confronted by attackers?

Yeah, I thought not.

They did.
They recommend you tell the rapist you are menstruating or you have a venereal disease. Not to sure that would thwart an attacker and what if doesn't speak english. He might think you said I'm in administration.

Another idea :

The Santa Fe Police Department is looking at the possibility of recruiting Mexican nationals to fill vacancies on the city police force, say sergeants in charge of training and recruiting.

Sgts. Gillian Alessio and Marvin Paulk told the city’s Public Safety Committee on Tuesday that they are trying to think outside the box to fill 20 vacancies ...

This is the department trying to hire Mexican nationals directly from Mexican police departments. After all, the Mexican police are world famous for their efficiency and for being un corruptable. Sleep well Santa Fe.

By an Executive Order signed by Bill Richardson in 2005, once these or any other criminals are caught, the police in New Mexico are forbidden from inquiring or considering immigration status. Order #2005-16 I believe, or 18.
