Sounds like a good product Julio Vasiu but I'm content with my Liberty revolver that never leaves my side.

Thanks, Julio. There are any number of various safety devices out there. The best "device" at the end of the day is being aware, being careful in the first place.

Homesnap has a safety feature as well that will call the person(s) you set up to received a message to call 911 and it gives the location of the agent.

my apple watch has that feature without me buying anything additionally.  it can be voice or touch command.  Also radpid depression of an iPhone on off switch 5 times will give you a one touch acess to calling 911 and reporting your location as well.  I also am well trained in firearms and self defense (married to a law enforcement officer who has trained others in both for a living)  So I'm very confident in my safety and yet still very smart in where I meet and how I handle myself with the public.

Thank you.  I'll check it out.  Safety is a concern.  Yesterday, I  posted an article about an agent attacked at an open house.  No amount of commission is worth your life.

That's interesting with the voice feature.  Texting people though isn't an effective method.  Some 911 centers have text capability now (I know the Sheriff's Departments out here do).  That would be better.

 

This is the safety device I prefer...

People who threaten with a gun are dangerous in general. We are supposed to pray that we be delivered from all this. If and when these scenarios are delivered into our hands to deal with as we please, let us be found capable of doing so.....I am for not hurting anyone and helping where I can but if threatened or I have to help someone who is... I am prepared to go all the way whatever that is...God help us all

There are other means to activate such notifications in emergency high tech solutions are so many they are overwhelming .. pick something that works for you and you feel comfortable with but make certain if and whether you are exposing yourself to privacy issues with them.
