Stay Safe on the Streets: Expert Advice from Rav Wilding and a Special Feature on Our Trident Alarm

Written by Katie Parkins, published 08-30-24

We are excited to share some valuable advice on street safety, brought to you by Rav Wilding, a respected voice in personal security. Rav recently featured on the BBC programme Morning Live, offering practical tips and highlighting essential tools that can help keep you safe while out and about. Among the featured items was our very own Walk Easy TRIDENT Attack Deterrent, which we’re proud to say was showcased for the second time as a top safety gadget.

Our Trident Alarm: Your Triple Protection

We’re especially thrilled that the BBC programme highlighted our Walk Easy TRIDENT Attack Deterrent. This recognition is a testament to the quality and reliability of our product, which is designed to provide you with the ultimate protection against potential threats. Here’s a quick rundown of what makes the TRIDENT Alarm stand out:

• Ear-Piercing Sound: Once activated, the TRIDENT emits a powerful 138+ decibel alarm. This deafening sound is designed to startle and disorientate an attacker, drawing attention to your situation.
• Repelling Odour: In addition to the sound, the TRIDENT releases a foul-smelling odour that further deters an assailant, making the environment even more uncomfortable for them.
• Ultraviolet Tracer: The alarm also sprays an invisible UV tracer that can help authorities identify the attacker later on.

These three features combine to create an environment that is hostile to any would-be attacker, giving you a crucial window to escape and seek help.

Key Takeaways from Rav Wilding’s Street Safety Feature

Rav’s segment was filled with crucial insights, including the importance of staying aware of your surroundings and using technology to your advantage. He highlighted some excellent safety apps that are readily available for your smartphone:

• WalkSafe: This app provides maps of buildings that have signed up to the Women’s Charter, indicating which have security guards and which streets are well-lit with street lamps. This feature allows you to plan safer routes, especially when travelling alone at night.
• HollieGuard: Another app that stood out is HollieGuard, which has a brilliant emergency feature. If you find yourself in a dangerous situation, simply shaking your phone activates the app to start recording video and audio automatically. This can be crucial for gathering evidence and alerting others to your predicament.

Rav also mentioned some lesser-known features of WhatsApp that can be utilised for safety, such as live location sharing and emergency contact notifications, which can quickly notify friends or family if you need help.

Proud to Be Featured Again

As a company dedicated to your safety, we’re honoured that our Trident Alarm was featured once again on a programme that emphasises the importance of personal security. The BBC, while bound by its charter to remain impartial and not endorse brands, clearly recognised the value of our product in this context. This is incredibly gratifying for us, and it reinforces our commitment to providing reliable, effective tools that help you stay safe.

Watch the Feature

We encourage you all to watch the episode of the BBC Morning Live programme and see for yourselves how Rav Wilding’s advice and our Trident Alarm can contribute to your personal safety, the feature begins 9 minutes into the programme. It’s reassuring to know that there are effective tools and strategies you can use to protect yourself, and we’re proud to play a part in that.

Stay safe, and remember: the best time to prepare for an emergency is before it happens. Whether it’s downloading a safety app like WalkSafe or HollieGuard, using WhatsApp’s safety features, or carrying a TRIDENT Alarm, taking these steps today can make all the difference tomorrow.

Thanks to the BBC for its continued trust in our products, and stay safe out there!
