There are many reasons why a person might not feel safe walking
alone, either at night or during the day. They might live in a
crime-ridden area, tend to carry a lot of cash or valuable items
such as jewellery or electronics, or simply have a healthy fear
of criminal behaviour. For whatever reason, there are measures
that you can take in order to protect yourself: self defence
classes, always walking in a group of people, not blatantly
carrying any valuable items on you or any excess cash. However,
self defence lessons aren't ideal for many people and in these
cases, personal attack alarms are a good option.
Crime Prevention Products provide Personal Alarms that are small
devices that can be carried on a person constantly in case of a
mugging or potentially dangerous situation. The alarms work on
the basic principle that would-be criminals will be immediately
put off of doing something when faced with the attention of the
public. Personal alarms are very simple machines that emit a
high-decibel sound when set off; to set a battery operated
device off, all you need to do is either pull out a tab/pin
often located on a key-ring chain. Some Personal Alarms are Gas
Operated and merely require a cap to be pushed down.
When using a battery operated alarm, in some cases it could be a
good idea to throw the alarm away from you while running to
safety. Since battery operated personal alarms require the
key-chain pin to be replaced before the alarm will shut off, the
would-be attacker has no chance of shutting off the device and
continuing with the attack.
With a Gas Operated Personal Alarm, you should always keep the
alarm in your hand; they emit such a high pitched screech that
should the attacker still be coming towards you, hold the alarm
near their ear and they will definitely back off!
It is simple logic that dictates the rules of personal alarms;
crimes such as mugging and individual attacks are largely
committed during the night or in a concealed place where the
attacker cannot be witnessed. The high pitched wailing of
personal alarms automatically notifies any people within earshot
(and that is a fairly high number even in a sleepy corner of
town), and given the natural curiosity of people, the attacker
is immediately faced with the chance of being confronted by the
public or a police officer. The chances of being left enough
time to complete the attack are drastically cut and therefore
the would-be attacker will back off for fear of being caught.
If you feel unsafe alone outside your home, Personal Alarms are
something you may want to look into for yourself. As a solitary
traveller on the streets at night or in a bad part of town, you
could be putting yourself at risk and it makes sense to try to
protect yourself. A personal attack alarm could be just what you
need to feel and be safe when you're out on your own and don't
forget your daughter - wife or mother too!
