You’ve seen the headlines, watched TV news: a woman violently attacked, or worse, while jogging, walking in a parking garage, leaving a mall, while on vacation or while sleeping in her own bed at home. You shook your head in disgust, then…

You think: “Such things only happen to ‘others.’ Those victims likely thought the same thing before becoming the unfortunate ‘others.’ Later, its ‘business as usual.’ And so it goes until, God forbid, the victim is you.We have a singular focus: to keep you aware and safe. If we must go against convention, so be it. We’re not looking to earn a congeniality award, thank you.
