click image for more details

Last week I attended some training for the neighborhood watch program where I am block Captain for my building. The lead trainer, who is a volunteer, talked a lot about home security issues in general safety issues affecting the city-namely the shortage of police officers in the current budget crisis.

He pointed out the importance of the neighborhood watch program, especially now with fewer police officers on the payroll. He told us that burglaries for example were up 10% in the city last year and so far this year were up 15%-one of the few areas of crime that’s on the increase.

We talked about some ideas that could be used to help improve your home security. Right at the top of the list were motion activated spotlights and security cameras. Our trainer told us that real security cameras can be expensive and that Fake Security Cameras were a viable alternative.

I found out that the local police department does training classes for both personal security and home security depending on availability of officers. They will even do a home safety audit.

He recommends keeping some Self Defense Products located around the house in case of a home invasion.

Self Defense Items-Four Of The Best Effective Ones For Women

A lot of people see stories about the taser on television or read about it in the newspaper. They know it is one of the most effective self-defense items especially for female self-defense. They make that assumption because over 12,000 law enforcement agencies throughout the country carry them and when they see one of their local law enforcement officers, more than likely they are carrying a taser.

If they’ve done any research or spoken to anyone who has a taser they’ve learned that indeed they are effective, but they are not cheap. Many people then make the connection that all self-defense items especially for female self-defense, are expensive. That is not the case!

Self-defense items for women have become extremely popular because women are the targets in 9/10 assaults, including and especially, domestic violence.

Here are four of the best cheap self-defense items that are effective not only for female self-defense, but self-defense in general.

1. The first is a key chain panic alarm with flashlight. It is a personal alarm or panic alarm that is $8.95, making it one cheap self-defense item. When you press the button, a 120 dB alarm sounds as long as the button is depressed. It is only 2.5″ x 1.25″ in size, but it makes a king-sized sound. As a bonus it has a built-in flashlight. Panic alarms scare away would-be attackers. It is one of the most effective self-defense items for women.

2. The pepper shot 1/2 ounce with key release pepper spray is $4.95 making it also a cheap self-defense item.

It can reach up to 8 feet away. The key ring attachment makes it easy to carry. It has a safety cap to prevent accidental discharge. It is one of the more popular self-defense items for women because it is so cheap.

This model has heavy-duty rubber armor coating, a safety switch to prevent accidental firing, a built-in LED flashlight and carrying case. It is also very popular self-defense item for women. At $18.95 it is one cheap self-defense item.

4. The key chain with steel impact tips adds power to your punch. Slide your fingers through the two holes to add real punch to your punch. It is $9.95 and is worth every penny for female self-defense

Cheap Effective Key Chain Self Defense Items

Stun guns, pepper sprays and tasers are all widely known and widely used self defense items. They’re all very effective and easy-to-use. For accessibility though there is nothing better than a key chain self defense item. These may be the best kept secrets in the world of self-defense. They don’t get much publicity because they are not as sexy as tasers or pepper sprays. But in close quarters situations these are every bit as effective.

Some examples include the Mace pepper batons which is a kuboton with pepper spray inside and regular kubotons.

Other examples are augmentations to the fist like the Blue Cat and Brutus products that are hand held devices that you slip over your knuckles with pointed ends. They can bring devastating damage to any one and can be used by anyone.

Or consider the Key Chain Expandable Baton which is just 5 inches long on your key chain but extends to a 12 inch length to be used as a stainless steel baton.

Then there’s the speed safe Army Knife that is 4 inches long and attaches to your key chain.
