Once I decided to go to Sin City for a week’s vacation, I chose to stay with my aunt which used to work as a security officer. Through the day, I spent a lot of my time together with her. At night, I would meet my buddies and then we would go to each of the casino hotels.
I have always enjoyed the city and thought it perfectly safe just to walk on The Strip even alone. My aunt, however, urged me to bring something for personal protection, warning me that I really can never be too sure about staying out of harm’s way.
She explained to me her trusted products for personal protection, adding I really could rely on these personal safety alarms once I head out at night. She explained that personal safety alarms are of help in calling other people’s attention when I am confronted by danger, thus, deterring an assailant from carrying his plans out.
The Electronic Pocket Whistle was the first personal alarm that my aunt demonstrated. It emits a 120 dB whistle with only a push of a button. She once used this 4 inch long alarm that operates on four LR44 batteries to guard herself from being mugged.
The business where she worked provided her with two alarms for personal protection when her work shift changed from day to night years ago. One was a Nap Alarm to keep her from drifting off to sleep during her duty. This anti-drowsiness alarm worn on the ear has an electronic position sensor that alarms if your head nods forward.
She also was given a 130 dB Alarm with Light for use when conducting her rounds. Using its sleek design, it could fit easily in her hand or pocket. It has an activation pin attached to the wrist strap, which can sound an alert once the pin is taken out. It further features a flashlight, which came handy when she would check the parking lot at night.
When she retired, my aunt bought the Mace Screecher Alarm on her own for personal protection. It emits an ear-piercing, high-pitched sound that will be heard as far as 1/4 mile away. This 10 gram device which has a push-top activator contains approximately 30 short blasts which can be recognized easily as being a call for help.
I decided to get the 130 dB Alarm with Light initially since it fits well in my evening purse. Because the alarm is equipped with a flashlight, I was able to use it anytime I walked for my car coming home from a night out.
