I bought my sister this cell phone that is a stungun and pepper spray ring from this site http://www.topnotchsafety.com/pretender-cellphone-stun-gun.htm. She’s also took up self defense class.By the time a cop gets there it may be to late.Now I feel somewhat better that little sis have some kind of protection. I’ thinking about getting her the taser, I probably get one first.

A great new tool for real estate agents is The Panic Alert, which my wife uses. It turns your cell phone into a silent alarm. All she has to do is press one button on her cell phone and the police and her office are immediately notified. She was showing a home and felt threatned and pressed the button on her cell phone. The police went to her office and they told her where she was and got there. Luckily there was no harm done, but she feels much safer showing apartments and home. All of the agents now subscribe it.

What the story about the agent raped and robbed in Alameda County didn’t say is that the perpetrator in this crime had been told by a fellow inmate that real estate agents were easy pickins’. They have a car, money and are usually alone in a house.
The Agent 911 sounds like a good product but every real estate agent, in my opinion, should be carrying at least a pepper spray pen or a stun gun cell phone. It still takes time for the police to arrive and you need to be able to protect yourself/or escape from the predator. I have over 30 years experience as a police detective and I know of what I speak. All of my real estate agent friends carry a personal protection product. Be safe, not sorry.
