Your First Line of Defense...

What would it be?

When you are walking to your car, what gives you peace of mind and reassurance?

Dialing 911?
Talking to a friend while walking?

You have seconds to respond to an imminent danger. A 911 or friends response will take minutes, at best. In a violent attack or home invasion for that matter, it is unlikely an attacker is going to give you minutes. So again, what is your first line of defense?

While calling 911 is important, it should't be your primary line of defense. It’s too unreliable – you have seconds and it will take them minutes to arrive. If your home is burning, are you going to sit inside, call 911, and then wait, inside, for the fire department? I don't think so!

You are the first line of defense for you and your loved ones. Be aware. Be prepared! Know how to protect yourself!


And remember, when dialing 911 from a cell phone, they don't know your immediate location. You have to give them that.
