Keeping My Family Safe

Have Street Sense

Stay alert and tuned in to your surroundings wherever you are on the street, in an office building or shopping mall, driving,  or waiting for a bus or cab. Trust your instincts. If something or someone makes you uncomfortable, avoid the situation.
Know the neighborhoods where you live and work. Know the locations of police and fire stations and restaurants, or stores that are open late. Always have your personal protection device accessible. Pepper spray, stun guns and personal alarms are small and affordable. Self defense products like these can help keep you and your loved ones safe and alive.

Driving Alone Or At Night

Try to avoid driving alone or at night.
Be sure to locate your keys prior to going to your car.
If you must shop at night, park in a well-lighted area.
Avoid parking next to cars with tinted windows, vans or trucks with camper shells.
Park as close as you can to your destination and remember where you parked.
Never leave your motor running  with children inside or unoccupied.
Do not leave valuables on the seat of your car. This creates a temptation for thieves.  Lock your packages in the trunk or put them out of sight.
Hold on tight to your purse, handbag and parcels.  Do not put them down or on top of the car when you open the door.
Always have a self defense device in your hand or easy to access. Buy pepper spray, a self defense stun gun and/or a personal alarm and keep one near by at all times. 

 Everyone wants a great security system to protect their home and loved ones. If you can’t afford the system you want, make the thieves think you can.A Security Yard sign will help deter intruders by making them think you have an alarm system installed.  To help add to the  theme of having an alarm system you can also put security  stickers in your windows.

 

 Installed Easily

You can buy a fake security camera that is an exact match to the real camera. Theives can’t tell the difference.  Fake security cameras will fool criminals into believing you have a real video security system.  Dummy cameras can be installed easily in seconds and are designed for indoor or outdoor use. Some look identical to real cameras with or without a flashing red LED light.

 Avoid Robbery

Avoid carrying valuable items or large amounts of money.
Always think ahead. When out at night, have your keys ready to enter the house or to start the car.
Ask someone to walk you (or even watch you) to your car. 
If you are confronted by a robber, and all they want is money, the best advice is to cooperate.
If you resist, there is a greater chance that you may be hurt.
Always carry your self defense products such as  pepper spray key chain, a cell phone stun gun in your purse, or a personal alarm. Don’t be afraid to use them, they are safe to use and could save your life. 

Prevent Rape

If you are in immediate danger of being raped, use your personal security device. A personal alarm, pepper spray, or a stun gun could save you a lot of pain if not your life. In the event you are caught without any self defense device, here is some advice. 

Make a loud noise - If you don’t have a personal alarm or whistle, SCREAM!

Run - Only run if there is somewhere safe to run to.

Stall - Speak calmly and rationally. Try not to plead, cry or show that you’re scared, this may be the reaction that he’s going for.

Urinate or vomit - Do anything you can to repulse the assailant. Tell him that you have a STD or AIDS.

Fight - Women who resist attacks and act quickly are less likely to be raped, than those who are passive. 

Keep alert - Try to pay attention to as many details as possible, so that you can identify your rapist.

Get help - Call 9-1-1 as soon as possible.

Collect evidence - Do not bathe, shower, or douche. If you change clothes, put the clothes you were raped in into a bag and seal it.

Tell someone - Don’t keep it a secret. Call the police, rape crisis line, or a friend.

If you don’t have self defense devices in multiple convenient locations. Act today! Even the most powerful stun gun is very affordable. You can also buy pepper spray and personal alarms and have them handy to keep the odds in your favor.

Secret Vacation

Don’t close them unless that is what you do when you are home. Close and lock garage doors and all windows. If you leave your car at home, park it as you normally would. Vehicles parked outside should be moved occasionally to appear that they are being used. Ask a neighbor to occasionally park in your driveway. Your neighbor can also collect mail and news papers for you so they aren’t collecting in the yard.

Security and Key Control

Allong with having  a good security surveillance system in your place of business, keys can play a role in security. Key control  should be done in a responsible manner. A master key system is where one key opens all locks. This may be convenient, but it may not be the best for security. Code all keys, keep them locked up when they are not in use, and do not allow employees to leave them lying around or make duplicates. If you feel sey security has been jeopardized, change all of the locks. Also, make sure your employees know that important areas are under surveilance to minimize temptations. Even a few fake security cameras can tip the odds in your favor.  

 The Next Best Thing

The next best thing to an expensive security system is anything to give the appearance of such system. Some people use Fake or “Dummy” security cameras to deter thieves. A Security Yard Sign will help deter intruders by making them think you have an alarm system installed.  To help add to the  theme of having an alarm system stick a few stickers in windows indicating there is an alarm system activated. Theives will go in search of a less risky target. Protect your home and your loved ones with a fake security camera or a home security sign in your yard and/or windows.
