The personal safety alarms we sell have been thoroughly tested through Home Office Schemes such as the Home Office Locks for Pensioners and Distraction Burglary Task force.
These programmes have achieved a 99% elimination of repeat victimisation and a 40% reduction in overall crime.
The security market is a very confusing place, particularly when insurance companies want you to fit the right lock for your doors and windows in order for the policy to be valid. We have tried to simplify this process as far as possible
