| “People tell me not to talk on the phone when I’m walking by myself.” |
Distraction can increase the potential for attack. Chances are when you’re talking to a friend or parent, you may lose track of your surroundings – distracted. |
Talking on your phone with StreetSafe Walk with Me service is different, because you’re not talking socially. Your Safety Advisor keeps you focused and aware of your surroundings, making your walk safer. |
“911 can find me wherever I am.” |
911 is an invaluable service, but 911 does not receive location information along with your call. The 911 center must request your location from your cellular provider, which can take up to six minutes, wasting valuable time. |
StreetSafe service uses GPS technology allowing your exact location to be pinpointed at the location of your alarms activation, and has your complete personal profile on hand. That allows the Safety Advisor to instantly communicate with local emergency professionals, providing everything they need to come to your aid. We also continue to track your location until you are found. |
| “I talk on the phone with a friend or parent while I am walking… they can help if I need it.” |
It’s nice to have someone to talk with as you walk, but talking with a friend or parent can lend to distraction, and your friend or parent is not a trained safety expert. Your friend or parent cannot track you via GPS, and will not be able to call your local 911 service should you need help. |
With StreetSafe Walk with Me service, your Safety Advisor is always there to give you expert advice. In case of emergency, your advisor will know exactly who to call, and can instantly forward your exact location and personal profile to the proper local authorities. |

Statistics show crimes happen to all types of people, of every race, age and gender. Research shows most people who are victimized believed that it would never happen to them. Take a proactive role in your personal safety with StreetSafe, because it absolutely can “happen to you.” |
