B A S U eAlarm for Commuters and Urban Residents

SAN FRANCISCO - May 25, 2018 - PRLog -- Safety can be a major concern for daily commuters, who are often victims of theft and even assault. San Jose, California is one city that has continuously experienced an influx of workers and commuters due to the growth of tech companies in the Silicon Valley. The San Jose Police Department released crime statistics for the year of 2017 and confirmed 4, 188 violent crimes (including robbery and aggravated assault), 301 more than the 3, 887 in 2016 (http://www.sjpd.org/CrimeStats/crimestats.html). With the common occurrence and arguably rising rates of crime, it is highly recommended that commuters and residents of any urban area proactively prepare with appropriate tools to ensure their safety.

The B A S U eAlarm is a crime deterrent that is ultra-portable and legal everywhere, including carry-on items on airplanes. The included carabiner allows for the device to be clipped to bags, keychains, and backpacks and is also small enough to fit in pockets and wallets. The compact eAlarm is also simple to use; pulling the pin will produce an alarm at 120dB. The alarm works because it creates "situational deterrence," i.e.  the criminal is deterred due to perceived risk. A study found that 68% of criminals will flee a crime scene empty handed as soon as they hear an alarm (Cusson, Situational Deterrence: Fear During the Criminal Event), providing both men and women commuting in cities or walking late at night with a safety device that works. The personal safety tool is ideal for commuters as it provides a simple solution that can be with them at all times. Consumers and partners can learn more about the eAlarm at BASU.COM.
