Secure Personal Pocket Alarm for Self-Defense

When should you use the Secure Alerte pocket alarm?

Secure Alerte is a compact, lightweight personal pocket alarm that can be attached to a bag, a keychain, or carried on your person. Once activated, it emits a loud, high-pitched sound designed to attract attention from those around you.

This alarm is used to signal distress in a dangerous or simply unsettling situation. The sound alerts people nearby and can deter an attacker.

It also features a flashlight, useful for illuminating a path, a building entrance, or the bottom of a bag at night.

Secure Alerte provides peace of mind when you’re out on your own: an early-morning jog, a late-night walk, or heading home from a party. Activating it requires no code or complicated steps.

For nights out, the alarm is complemented by a drink test. For this purpose, we offer the Drinkcheck GHB detector bracelet, which is worn on the wrist and allows you to test two drinks during the same outing.

Precautions

• Never activate the alarm near your ear or someone else’s: a sound of this intensity at close range can damage hearing.
• Do not point the flashlight directly into the eyes.
• The alarm is not a substitute for calling emergency services: in case of danger, call 17 (police) or 112. Deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals can contact 114 via text message. These numbers are toll-free.
• Check the alarm and flashlight regularly to ensure they are ready when you need them.
• Keep out of reach of children: this is not a toy.

Our expert advice on the Secure Alerte alarm

A pocket alarm is only useful if you have it in your hand at the right moment. Clip it to your bag’s shoulder strap or to the keys you’re already holding while walking—never leave it at the bottom of a closed pocket. And practice pulling the pin once, in a safe place: the action should come naturally, without thinking.

Its purpose is to attract attention and give you time to get away, not to make you stay where you are. As soon as you’re in a safe place, notify emergency services or a loved one.
