Is your pool Safe?

More than 900 children between 1 and 14 die each year in drowning accidents. In California, drowning is the number one cause of accidental death for children 1-4 years of age.

But, do you really need these statistics to convince you to do everything
you can to prevent this from happening to your child or grandchild?

The Pool Alarm is an electronic monitoring system that automatically sounds an alarm when children or pets fall into your unsupervised pool. It's portable, self-contained and light weight. The unit is simple to operate. Entry into the pool will be detected by the Pool Alarm's electronic sensor, triggering a loud pulsating alarm at the unit and inside your house from the remote receiver.

The Pool Alarm installation is very easy. It sits on the pool deck as shown in picture.

After you install the POOL ALARM, it can't be de-activated; it is always in the alarm ready mode until you put it in Sleep Mode.

If someone who does not know how to put the POOL ALARM in sleep mode attempts to remove the alarm, it will sound an alarm.

The Pool Alarm comes with a remote receiver which can be mounted in your home up to 200 feet from the main unit. It comes with a 12 volt power supply.

The Pool Alarm uses one a 9-volt battery (not included) which should last approximately one year.

There is a audible low battery indicator which will sound at the poolside alarm and the remote receiver.

Is Your Home Secure?

Do you read the police beat in your local newspaper? If so, you are probably used to seeing countless mentions of breaking and entering. Perhaps you and your home have sadly fallen victim to this crime.

Home security is an issue no matter where you reside. Luckily there are many available home protection options on the market to suit your specific home security needs.

If you are interested in setting up a home security system, alarms are a good place to start. Alarms are among the most popular home security products. There are a variety of alarm systems and individual alarms available.

A wireless Voice Alert Alarm can be programmed to notify you with your personally recorded alert message whenever it detects activity in a specified area. This could include cars coming up the driveway, activity around an unattended swimming pool, or visitors approaching a front or side door.

A Motion Alert can be mounted anywhere in or around your home and will chime when movement is detected. Magnetic Door and Window Alarms can be mounted to any door or window frame and will be activated when that door or window is opened. (This product can be particularly useful for sliding glass doors, which many of us neglect or simply forget to lock). There are also window alarms available that will sound when an intruder attempts to break through the glass.

Another inexpensive and popular home security item is the door brace. Door braces are available for both hinged and sliding doors. Some door braces include features such as padded feet and non-marring yokes to help protect against finish damage to your floors and frames. Some door braces are collapsible and can be moved and fitted to any door you deem appropriate, as well as easily packed to use on hotel room or cottage/cabin doors on family vacations.

If you have a dog, you probably have a built-in sense of home security. If you are looking for that reassurance without the responsibility of a pet, an Electronic Watch Dog may be the home protection product for you. Once plugged in, your Electronic Watch Dog’s “eyes” can sense when an intruder is approaching your home. Your Electronic Watch Dog will “bark” and set off an alarm when an intruder is detected – enough to send any potential burglar running.

Home security cameras are growing in popularity as a home security option. Should an intruder lurk around your property (perhaps “casing” your home for a potential break-in), home security cameras will record their movements and capture their image. Home security camera images can prove especially useful in police investigations or when charges are pressed as they are proof of an intruder on your property.

Whatever home security option you deem right for you, Promark Safety can help. We offer a wide variety of home security and personal security products, including home protection devices, home security cameras, alarms, door braces, and more. With our array of products, you are certain to find your ideal home safety solution. For more information and to view the products, please visit Promark Safety today at www.promarksafety.com.

Do Not Be A Victim of Crime

The sad truth is, you can be a victim of crime anywhere at any time - in big cities, small towns, or even in the kindest of rural communities. Rapes, kidnappings, murders are read about each and every day on the news. The recent abduction and murder of teenager Kelsey Smith has captivated the nation, leading us on a vengeance to want to fight crime even harder.

You cannot rely on chance alone. With the right kind of self defense and personal security products, such as stun guns, pepper spray rings, tasers, folding knives and more – you can help thwart even the worst of criminals.

In 2004, a staggering 94,635 rapes were reported by United States officials. In addition to the rapes, there were 401,326 robberies, 854,911 incidents of aggravated assault, and an estimated 38,000 car jackings. Seventy four percent of these crime victims were accosted with a weapon. Unfortunately, the majority of victims were not carrying any self defense or personal safety devices, ultimately leading the criminal to continue his/her attack without any substantial resistance from the victim.

The Self Defense Product for You

The right kind of personal security products can help you to feel safer in a world that can be quite scary at times. The decision to carry a weapon for self-defense is a very important one – and the range of choices available is seemingly endless. Self defense weapons and personal security devices that are available include guns, stun guns, folding knives, butterfly knives, pepper sprays, and more.

While there are some states that allow concealed firearms and other weapons, it is crucial for one to be extremely familiar with all of the applicable state and federal laws. Also, there are many upsides and downsides to several self defense weapons. A gun requires one to partake in a considerable amount of training and practice in order for it to be effective and safe. If one chooses to buy pepper spray, he or she must know that the product requires a true training commitment for it to be 100% effective.

Knives on the other hand, are one of the most natural self-defense products existing today. There is a range of different knives available, including butterfly knives, folding knives, pen knives, and more. As a civilization, we use a knife from the time at which we are about 6 years old (for cutting food of course), and are very familiar with the tool. In times of panic, a knife can be a great form of self defense for you when being accosted.

No matter where you go, or what you do, know that there is always some type of risk involved. But you do not have to be afraid. Be strong, be vigilant, and be safe with the right kind of personal security products!

Promark Safety is your ultimate source for home security and personal security products, including mace spray, child safety, personal alarms, voice changers, safety lights, tasers, and more. In business since 2005, owner Nick Muntimuri started selling stun guns, pepper spray, and other self defense products because he felt there was a growing need for self protection, and in particular, family safety. Promark Safety’s mission is to stop crime in its tracks by providing you with high end, high impact personal security products for you and your family’s safety.

Don't take Safety for Granted

Safety is something we take for granted and think we don't require. But the truth is - no one can guarantee you won't be a crime victim and no one can protect you except you. No one is immune to crime.
Crime doesn't always happen to the other person. It could happen to you. Think about the price you might pay for your medical bills ( in case you survive) and compare it to $20 (the average cost of self defense products). The low amount you pay today can help you tomorrow.Even if you never have an occasion to use a stun gun or pepper spray, sense of security and peace of mind they provide is priceless! Ask those who already been assaulted or had their home broken into and you'll hear they carry self defense devices wherever they go and have their home equipped with security alarms.

Crime is a reality everywhere in America

Big city, small town, even rural communities. Meth labs are hidden in rolling hills of small town areas - soon meth addicts are breaking into homes, hijacking cars, where violent crime was unheard of only a year ago.
There were 94,635 reported rapes in 2004. The highest percentage of rape is in the Northeast. July is when the greatest number of rapes occur.
http://www.promarksafety.com/
There were 401,326 robberies in 2004. Highest percentage of these (38%) were in the South. 42% of the robberies occurred on the streets, 14% occurred in homes.
There were 854,911 incidents of aggravated assault. Firearms were used for 19.3% of the assaults, knives or cutting instruments 18.6%, other weapons (clubs, blunt objects, etc.) 35.6% and personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.) accounted for 26.6% of the assaults.
There are around 38,000 car jackings each year. 74% of the victims faced a weapon. About 63% of carjacking incidents occurred within 5 miles of the victim's home, including 17% that occurred at or near the home...sometimes in their own driveway. Only 4% occurred more than 50 miles from the victim's home.
So Protect Yourself;Protect your family; Be Safe and Feel Safe!

Preventing Rape


If you are in immediate danger of being raped, here are some things that you can do.

Make a loud noise - Carry a whistle or scream "police" to attract attention

Run - Only run if there is somewhere safe to run to. If there is no where to go you may aggravate the assailant further by running

Stall - Speak calmly and rationally. Try not to plead, cry or show that you're scared, this may be the reaction that he's going for.

Urinate or vomit - Do anything you can to repulse the assailant. Tell him that you have a STD or AIDS.

Fight - Women who resist attacks and act quickly are less likely to be raped, than those who are passive. The optimum time to react is in the first 20 seconds when the body releases chemicals in the blood that help to put up a fight. Be cautious if he has a weapon.

Keep alert - Even though it will be difficult, try to pay attention to as many details as possible, so that you can identify your assailant.

Get help - Call 9-1-1 as soon as possible. Police are becoming more willing to help victims of rape. You are not obligated to press charges or go to court.

Collect evidence - Do not bathe, shower, or douche. If you change clothes, put the clothes you were raped in into a bag and seal it.

Tell someone - Call the police, rape crisis counselor, telephone operator, friend. It is very important that someone knows and that it is not kept a secret.

Boat Safety

BOAT SAFETY & SECURITY
By Promark Safety

Thieves are always on the lookout for easy targets. Don't make yourself an
easy target. Always follow these simple steps.

· Never leave anything valuable on display, however small and insignificant it may seem. Thieves steal first and think about value later.
· Don't leave anything loose in the cockpit or on deck.
· Don't leave your engine key in the ignition - always take it with you.
· Keep your boat keys separate from your engine keys.
· Always keep your boat locked when no one is on board, even for a short time.
· Use strong padlocks or rimlocks on all your hatches, entry points and cockpit lockers.
· Constantly check and improve the security on your boat. It's a good idea to fit an alarm and use a visible sticker to say that one is fitted.
· Make sure your cockpit lockers can be properly locked, and check that your main hatch and fore-hatch are strong.
· Also think about having a strongbox down below. If you don't think something is secure, get it fixed.

IMPROVE YOUR SECURITY
Once you've tied up alongside, always do a quick security check before going ashore.

Always:

· Lock anything valuable out of sight in a strong locker secured by a strong padlock;
· Lock up emergency money away from other valuables;
· Keep your curtains closed so that no-one can look in;
· Keep unused ropes, fenders and other items out of sight in your cockpit, lockers and cupboards - and always lock them;
· Make sure that your life raft and outboard motor are secure, as these are valuable and attractive to boat thieves.
· When you go ashore from a dinghy, always remove your oars or paddles, rowlocks or pump, and secure the dinghy with a strong chain and padlock.
· If you are the victim of boat theft, call the police immediately and tell the harbour master or boatyard manager. Check to make sure that your boat is still seaworthy and hasn't been badly damaged.
· And, if you can, check that neighboring boats haven't been broken into as well.
· Get to know other boat owners in your marina and work together to keep the marina secure. You can do the following.
· Keep an eye on other boats, as well as your own.
· Report any strangers at the marina to the harbour master or yard master.
· Don't give your marina access card or key to other people.
· Never tell anyone else the access code to the marina.
· Don't let strangers into the marina, however genuine they may seem.
· Keep the marina gate closed at all times.
