Have you heard of StreetSafe? StreetSafe is a service that turns your smart phone into a mobile personal security system. It's a subscription-based service that acts as a mobile personal security system, combining wireless networks with GPS technologies and a state-of-the-art safety network and database, and connecting people with live off-duty officers and trained security advisors.
They offer these tips to help stay safe while shopping:
- Use the buddy system and shop with a friend -- you are more likely to become a target if you are alone
- Park your car in a well lit area and keep track of where it’s parked -- this will get you in your car and on your way faster
- While shopping, be careful what you post online. Don't alert others that you aren’t at home
- Consolidate packages, making you less desirable for criminals looking to steal your belongings
- Consider wearing your purse across the body to keep hands free for your keys, both when heading to your car and into your home
- Prevent break-ins by hiding purchases from view in your parked car
- Be just as vigilant about your surroundings during the daylight hours. A crime can occur anytime.
- Take extra precautions. StreetSafe is a new mobile personal security system that uses your smart phone’s GPS technology to instantly connect to help before a situation turns into an emergency. Street Safe’s “Walk with Me” service offers a live connection to a professional Safety Advisor to keep you safe when walking in unfamiliar or threatening surroundings and instant access to 911 if needed.
