Use your car (alarm) keys double as a Personal and Home Alarm.

Here's a tip a reader sent in about using your car keys (the car alarm type) to scare intruders into your home by keeping them near your bed: 
Put your car keys beside your bed at night.
If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies.
This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage.

If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around. After a few seconds, all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there. This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.

Arizona: A man walked into a local Kwik Shop and asked for all the money in the cash drawer. Apparently, the take was too small so he tied up the store clerk and worked the counter himself for three hours until police showed up and grabbed him.

Pepper Spray law changed in Massachusetts.

Can I buy Pepper Spray in Massachusetts? Maybe...

The law in Massachusetts remains the same except for one change.
If you are over 18, you do not need a FID card (firearm license) to
purchase pepper spray anymore.

However, you still need to be licensed to sell it and age needs to be
verified.  That means that people in Massachusetts cannot buy
pepper spray on the Internet and you can't sell it to anyone in MA
on your website.

Investigating a purse snatching...

SSS Stupid Criminals

Sunday Funnies

Georgia: Investigating a purse snatching, detectives picked up a man who fit the thief’s description and drove him back to the scene. He was told to exit the car and face the victim for an I.D. The suspect carefully eyed the victim, and blurted, “Yeah, that’s the woman I robbed.”

Do Dummy Cameras deter theft?

According to most reports out there, the answer would be “yes”. Now you as the reader may think that because Scott Security Source is a leading company in Non-Lethal Self Defense products which include security cameras as one of our main products, that we would say this. Well, yes you would be right. But I encourage you to not take my word for it, but to do the research yourself.

A trespasser or burglar won’t be able to tell the difference (unless they are truly a trained professional crook, and yes, they are “out there”) between a dummy camera or fake security camera without an actual camera inside. 

Most people who have used a “fake” camera state that they successfully deter theft, robbery, and vandalism and so there are many non-functioning fake cameras such as these found in stores and elsewhere.  Because dummy cameras look just like real surveillance cameras, they can be a very cost effective way of making customers (and intruders) feel as if they’re being watched; voila- effective and affordable security for most situations!

It’s not just the business person who can use a real or fake camera; your home or office can also benefit from dummy cameras and fake surveillance cameras as well.  

Why use dummy or fake security cameras? The quick answer is that they are a cost-effective way of preventing crime.  If you’re looking to increase security around your home or office but don’t want to spend money to make this possible, dummy cameras are a good alternative. 
My choice would be to mix your dummy cameras with real cameras on a 2 to 1 ratio. So having one live camera and two dummy cams, or 4 dummies and 2 real, etc. you’ll have better security. TIP: This requires some time on your part, but just like we change our smoke alarms on a regular basis, consider switching  your live camera with one of your dummy cams every once in a while, perhaps writing it on a calendar so you know when you’ve done it. Depending on your situation however, you may have one “hot spot” where you’ll always need a camera. In that case, consider another live camera. Also, when you are planning your business budget, designate funds that can go toward your safety and security needs.

Our thought here at Scott Security Source is that it’s always a good idea to have security cameras protecting you, live or dummy cams. Intruders and would be thieves in your store, office or home usually move on or think twice before pocketing something, because they don’t want to risk getting caught on tape.

Good news about our Dummy Cameras:

DM-DOML Dummy Camera will be available by 9/26/14

Does your child know home address and phone number? Here are 7 Ways to Protect your Child.

7 Ways to Protect Your Child 
from the book: 
Be Prepared, Be Safe by Scott Security Source


 
1.    Never leave children alone; not at home, in a vehicle, at play, or anywhere.

2.    Define what a STRANGER is. Let your kids know that just because they see someone everyday (e.g. mailman, paperboy, neighbor, etc.) it does not mean these people are not strangers.

3.    Teach your children their full name, your name, full address, and phone number, including area codes. Teach them how to use a phone.

4.    Teach your children the "What if...?" Game, making up different dangerous situations that they might encounter and helping them play out what they would do in that situation.

5.    Take the time to talk to your children and be alert to any noticeable changes in their behavior or attitude toward an adult or teenager; it may be a sign of sexual abuse.

6.    Set up procedures with your child's school or day care center as to whom the child will be released to other than yourself, and what notification procedure they are to follow if the child does not show up on time.

7.    Teach your children that their body is private and no one has the right to touch them in a way that makes them feel uncomfortable. If anyone touches them in a wrong way they should: SAY NO, GET AWAY, and TELL SOMEONE they trust.

Preventing Rape, a few ideas from Scott Security Source.

This is from the soon to be published book: Be Prepared, Be Safe. The entire book is free (in pdf. version) with a purchase of $100 or more at: www.scottsecuritysource.com.

Here is how one can be prepared to Avoid Rape. This isn't all of the answers and I invite your comments after the article if you have other ideas or stories to share.

Preventing Rape


If you are in immediate danger of being raped, here are some things that you can do.

Make a loud noise - Carry a whistle or scream "police" to attract attention

Run - Only run if there is somewhere safe to run to. If there is no where to go you may aggravate the assailant further by running

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. The optimum time to react is in the first 20 seconds when the body releases chemicals in the blood that help to put up a fight. Be cautious if he has a weapon.

Keep alert - Even though it will be difficult, try to pay attention to as many details as possible, so that you can identify your assailant.

Get help - Call 9-1-1 as soon as possible. Police are becoming more willing to help victims of rape. You are not obligated to press charges or go to court.

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 - Call the police, rape crisis counselor, telephone operator, friend. It is very important that someone knows and that it is not kept a secret.


A guy walked into a little corner store with a shot gun...

SSS Stupid Criminals

Sunday Funnies

Colorado Springs: A guy walked into a little corner store with a shot gun and demanded all the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but he refused and said “Because I don’t believe you are over 21.” The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because he didn’t believe him. At this point the robber took his driver’s license out of his wallet and gave it to the clerk. The clerk looked it over, and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and he put the scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from the store with his loot. The cashier promptly called the police and gave the name and address of the robber that he got off the license. They arrested the robber two hours later.

Pepper Spray in the news: My daughter went off to college…



My daughter went off to college recently with the same necessities my son took three years before: a dorm fridge, shower shoes, toiletries, shower tote, microwave, books, bedding.
She also took something her big brother didn’t: pepper spray, and the ability to use it.

Taking a Taxi? Scott Security Source offers Safety tips and a Free Newsletter.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SAFETY
3 Part Series

A Public Service Report by

Public transport is normally very safe and most taxi companies are reputable licensed firms whose drivers have been vetted, so here is some advice that should help you feel more confident when traveling by bus, train, tube or taxi.


Part 3 of 3: Taking a Taxi

·         Carry the phone number of a taxi or mini cab firm you know, and whenever you book a taxi ask them for the driver's name and the type of car they will be driving
·         Try and book the taxi you need to bring you home before you go out. Give your name and when the driver arrives make sure they know the name it was booked under. If you have to book your taxi in a public place, do it quietly where people are unlikely to overhear your name and address
·         If you can, share a taxi with a friend and have your money ready and keys handy at the end of your journey so that you can enter your home quickly
·         If ever you feel uneasy in a taxi ask the driver to stop in a busy place that you know well, and get out

·         Wait on a well-lit section of the platform, close to the exit or where there are other people around. Many stations now have CCTV cameras and staff that are trained to deal with emergencies
·         When you get on the train try to sit in a busy compartment and keep any bags and personal possessions you have next to you
·         If you feel uncomfortable switch seats or even consider getting off the train and catching the next one. Only do this if the station where you are getting off is manned and busy
·         Know where the emergency button or cord is situated or any help points at the station

Are Public Buses Safe? www.ScottSecuritySource.com offers answers.

Public transport is normally very safe and most taxi companies are reputable licensed firms whose drivers have been vetted, so here is some advice that should help you feel more confident when traveling by bus, train, tube or taxi.

Part 1 of 3: On the Bus

·         Use a bus stop you know is usually busy and is well lit
·         Know the departure and arrival times and try and let someone at the other end know which bus you plan to catch. They could always meet you at your stop
·         Sit close to the driver. If someone starts up a conversation, be pleasant and confident, but don't give away personal information like where you live or work
