Vigilant 130dB Personal Protection Alarm with Twin LED Flashlight and Emergency Flashing Locator Light (PPS32BL)

It features a 130dB alarm - one of the loudest rated alarms sold by Vigilant. Designed to be placed in the outer pockets of a purse or backpack, the PPS32 can also be hand carried by joggers. The alarm is activated by simply pulling the pin attached to the wrist strap, which deters attackers or intruders but also functions to draw attention to you if you need medical attention or help. Use of a personal alarm switches the element of surprise from the attacker to the potential victim. The PPS32 also features twin LED torch lights, capable of providing night vision in low light conditions. The end firing lights are activated by a separate on/off button, for a quick and small illumination of a walking path, car door lock, or other low light situations. And, the center of the PPS32 is a red flashing hazard light. Pressing the red lens turns the hazard light on (and off). The hazard light also illuminates and flashes if the main alarm is triggered.

Personal alarms are one of the fastest growing segments at retail in the self defense industry, because an attacker's worst enemy is attention. Personal alarms are legal to carry in all 50 states (even on airplanes!) and are a very safe and effective method of self defense. They require no training or skill to operate, and can be used by anyone regardless of age or physical ability. Victims are often too traumatized to shout for help in unfamiliar and dangerous situations, increasing their vulnerability. The high pitched alarm is intended to scare off an assailant while switching the element of surprise from the attacker to the victim. Criminals do not like to draw attention, and will likely run off when they realize the alarm cannot be stopped.
