Tip's for Prevention
According to Federal Bureau of Investigation statistics, 4 out of every 10 women have been a victim of rape or violent assault and 1 of the remaining 6 will fall victim to one of these vicious crimes at some point of their life. It is estimated that a sexual assault or rape is being committed every 60 seconds, here in the United.
There are some basic steps that you can take to help lower your risk of falling victim to sexual or violent assault. Some of these things you might already know but many women still ignore them because they believe "it won't happen to me", sadly it can happen.
1. Always know exactly where you are.
In the event you are confronted with a threat, you need to know your exact location. A 911 dispatcher will also ask you where you are, be prepared to give cross street intersections or physical address locations. This will provide you with the best chance of responding law enforcement officers finding you.
2. Be prepared to act.
Have your keys ready in hand before you get to your car. This will prevent you from having to search for your keys and reduces the time it takes to open the car door. Once inside the car, lock your doors and immediately drive away.
3. Avoid dark areas of streets and parking lots.
While walking on the street late at night, make sure you walk in well lighted areas of streets and parking lots. Criminals utilize the dark as cover and hide in wait for vulnerable women.
4. Invest in a quality self defense product and be prepared to use it.
Investing in a quality personal protection product and having it readily available for use is a cheap insurance policy for your safety. There are many self defense products on the market today which are very effective in providing you with a chance to get away from a determined criminal. My personal recommendation is the Taser C2. This product deploys 2 probes from a distance of 15 feet and packs a punch of 50,000 volts on you attacker dropping him like a bad habit. The Taser C2 is backed by a lifetime warranty and replacement guarantee.
5. Develop a number of daily routines.
Have various routes to and from work and the grocery store. Try to travel a different route each day avoiding the possibility of someone identifying your routine.
6. Always be aware of your surroundings.
Look around the area before getting into their car. Look for people who do not fit the area and appear to be lingering around for no reason. Criminals prey on vulnerability and have been known to study their victims prior to the attack in an attempt to establish a pattern.
Having a plan and always carrying a personal defense product such as pepper spray, a Taser, Stun Gun is always a good idea. After all, you are the first line of defense in your personal safety. Don’t wait for something to happen before you invest into your personal safety. Act now, you own it to yourself and your loved ones.

Workplace Violence Considerations for Safety
As society changes with the struggling economy, more and more people are losing jobs due to budgetary cutbacks. This problem is directly associated with workplace violence and it’s time for all of us to start thinking about our personal safety while at work.
Emergency response procedures are a vital element in protecting employees. As a veteran police officer, I have been personally involved in active shooter incidents, fire, assaults, and medical calls all occurring at commercial properties. Assuring your employer has an emergency action plan for commonly encountered incidents will no doubt save lives and prevent the incident from being worse. If your employer does not have a documented plan, develop one among your coworkers to include communication and keywords to discreetly identify trouble. Make frequent changes to passwords as employee rosters change with termination and attrition.
Proper placement of security cameras can prevent theft and be a major investigative tool in the event of a physical attack, particularly when they are placed frequently traveled areas or high occupancy around the office. Fake or dummy cameras have been known to be somewhat effective, however when it comes down to an incident actually occurring, they do not video the incident rendering them useless.
Making a small investment into your personal safety is always a good idea and considered as an insurance policy to good health. There are many personal defense weapons on the market that can be purchased for a reasonable amount of money. Some of these weapons include Tasers, Stun Guns, and Personal Defense Sprays. Another good self defense device to keep around the office is personal alarms. Audible personal alarms are capable of emitting a 120db tone to alert others of trouble or draw attention to you when confronted by threatening conditions. Personal defense weapons and tools have given people around the country the confidence to protect themselves when needed.
Every workplace has specific dangers within their own industry. The fact is, some industries are more susceptible to these events than others, although no industry is completely safe from violence. Having a solid action plan and the tools necessary to deploy it go a long way. Criminals prey on vulnerability and rely on all of us to be heavily involved in our work so we do not notice the signs of violence. A good action plan shows confidence and determination to survive which in turn deters crime.
Quality surveillance equipment is essential in fighting workplace violence. The days of the old affordable black and white VHS tapes are long gone and completely unreliable for investigative purposes. Quality digital video recording equipment is the last line of defense when it comes to identifying criminals. Remember that workplace safety extends beyond physical altercations, sexual harassment and other issues; the methods for addressing these should also be clearly outlined in the employee handbook too.
Criminal activities can take place anywhere and at any time, including offices and other commercial properties, homes, and outdoors. By keeping your personal safety in mind wherever you go, you can be prepared for these possibilities. Whether your office is protected by security guards or not, the personal safety of ever ne on its premises must be overseen by quality video recording equipment capable of identification in low light conditions.

Are Personal Defense Plans Really Necessary?
Many of us sit at home every evening and watch news of rape, carjacking, and personal attacks which happen on a daily basis, yet we have all succumbed to the belief that this will never happen to us or one of our loved ones. As a veteran police office, I can honestly tell you this is a common problem in society. We must take alternative actions to protect ourselves. Personal defense weapons are an inexpensive alternative to becoming a victim of a violent personal attack.
Society and cost of living has made it necessary for many of us to work longer hours or sometimes multiple jobs. These issues place us in vulnerable positions because we constantly have other things on our minds other than our personal safety, we rely on local law enforcement to keep us safe. The reality is simple though. Law enforcement consists of proactive enforcement with officers concentrating on high crime areas and reactive responses to reported crimes. Although proactive enforcement deters crime, career criminals prey on vulnerability and patterns we set for our daily routine. Simply put, you are your own first line of defense. Here are three tips to keep in mind to ensure your safety:
1. Be proactive. Understand that at some point in your life, you may be confronted by a criminal. Rather than waiting to become a victim, develop an action plan for safety. Start by changing your routine frequently. Have multiple routes to and from work and home to avoid being followed home by criminals. Arm yourself with a stun gun, a canister of pepper spray, or Taser and train yourself how to use it properly without hesitation. Make your home more secure with home safety alarms and other products. Taking action now should be considered as a cost effective insurance policy into your personal safety. You owe it to yourself and your family.
2. Practice your techniques. Many people who carry personal defense weapons believe they are safe simply by possessing the item. You MUST practice using the device you purchase. If you do not know how to use the product, it is rendered useless when you need it. Be prepared to use it without hesitation. A quality personal defense weapon can save your life in the event of a personal attack.
3. Be aware of your surroundings. Take the time to look around before you get out of your car. Be aware of persons in the area who appear to not fit in. Park in well lit areas of the parking lot. At night park towards the front of the lot near the building. If necessary, drive around the lot until a parking space becomes available . Often times these areas are covered by surveillance cameras.
Making a few changes in your life is an easy start to defending yourself against crime. Criminals rely on our busy schedules and vulnerability and often time follow us around to learn our routine. Change things up a bit and don’t get in the habit of doing the same things daily. Always remember your personal safety is the most important part of your daily routine.

Personal Defense, Tactics We All Can Use!
Since 1997, the Federal Bureau of Investigations has reported an increase in violent crime in categories of rape, sexual assault, and violent attacks. Statistics show that, 1,382,012 violent crimes were reported to law enforcement in 2008.
There were 454.5 violent crimes reported per 100,000 inhabitants. Aggravated assaults accounted for 60.4 percent. Robbery accounted for 32.0 percent, forcible rape accounted for 6.4 percent and murders accounted for 1.2 percent.
With the rise in violent crime, it has become apparent that the topic of self defense
is not a commonly practiced tactic of the general population.
There are a few simple tactics which be practiced by anyone concerned about their personal safety and that of their loved ones. These tactics are taught to recruit police officers in law enforcement academy settings and they are easy enough for every one of us to implement into our daily routine.
Arm Yourself with a Quality Non-Lethal Defense Product:
In today's society, many business owners have developed retail web sites marketing the industries leading brands of quality non-lethal personal defense products. These items include but are not limited to Tasers
, Stun Guns and Personal Defense Sprays. Non-lethal personal defense products do not require permits for possession and all are considered very affordable and effective. Many of these items come with a lifetime warranty and replacement guarantee.
Be Aware of Your Surroundings:
In corporate America, it has become a daily routine for many of us to work long hours and sometimes multiple jobs in order to meet financial obligations. Many of us have long commutes to and from work and spend an average of 4-6 hours on the cell phone planning daily activities. Let's face it, most of us pack our day with more activities that anyone in their right mind would attempt to complete. The result?, We become far to busy completing tasks that our personal health
and safety become less important.
Many career criminals make a living studying our daily routine's to determine at which point we are most vulnerable, and that's when they attack. We need to train ourselves to slow down and be aware of our surroundings.
Be aware of individuals who appear to not belong in the area. (ie. bulky clothing on a hot summer day). These are indicators of potential trouble that we should stay clear of when possible.
If you are forced to do your shopping at night, take extra time to find a parking space in the front of the parking lot. Make sure the area is illuminated well by street lamps.
Look around before exiting your car. Look for people hanging around the area who have taken an interest in you. If you see someone who does not fit the area, don't get out of the car and just drive away. Worst case scenario, your were wrong about them and didn't get your groceries but you are still safe.
Many people across the country have become victims because their everyday activities have overrun their lives. Training yourself to be aware of your surroundings is simple to do for all of us and quite possibly may prevent us becoming a victim. Criminals prey on vulnerability.
