Personal security alarms are small electronic tools used to summon help in an emergency or scare off potential attackers. This is similar to a security alarm that may be located on the wall of a home or business, except that it is not permanently attached to the wall, but may be carried with you at all times. They easily fit in your hand to signal "danger" by discharging a high-intensity ear piercing blast that can be heard up to one quarter of a mile away. Personal alarms are often used as  a safety alarm, panic alarm or medical alarm. They make good sense for both children and adults.

Personal alarms are great when used to dissuade a possible mugger. Law enforcers, campus security and body guards readily recommend the use of a personal safety alarm because they can scare off an assailant. If you experience a situation of duress, you can use a personal alarm to grab the attention of nearby people, who can come to your aid and also act as witnesses to the crime. If you use one and the attacker retreats, then the alarm has done its job.

Individual safety alarms come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors, including key chains, as well as those integrated onto flashlights or self defense products and still others can be used as security alarms on the windows and doors inside your home. A good alarm will include:

*The noise discharged from a panic alarm needs to be as deafening and as disturbing as possible. 95 to 130 decibels should be your choice.

*An individual alarm should be convenient to carry so you can promptly get at it when needed.

*An individual alarm needs to be easy to use so there is no bungling with the gizmo to operate it when it is most needed.

Personal alarms are very affordable only costing a few dollars, and they can potentially save your life or that of a loved one. Carry a personal defense alarm with you wherever you go especially if you live in a large city, and/or walk alone at night in sparsely populated areas. Keeping it with you makes it possible to draw attention to yourself when in a threatening situation.

Another type of personal alarm worth mentioning is the one that works as a canine or wildlife repeller. There is also a type of personal alarm that includes ultrasonic sound which will work on aggressive dogs and wild animals. Its squeal can not be heard by human ears. Take your alarm along to protect yourself from dangerous dogs while cycling, walking, or jogging. Your alarm will emit a high frequency noise the hound won't like it causing the dog to retreat leaving you alone.
