Door Security and Bogus Callers
Bogus Callers it seems are still talking there way into our homes and helping themselves to our valuables and belongings, in some extreme cases violence is used. It is estimated there are around 35 bogus caller crimes committed everyday in the UK (Source: Home Office). These imposters will try and impersonate Water Board Engineers, Gas / Electricity Meter readers etc… anything they can think-of to scam their way into your home.

Give Personal Alarms This Mothers Day
Age Concern, the UK charity for the elderly, is prompting those of us with elderly Mothers to swap our Mothers Day gift of choclates/flowers for life saving personal alarms. The charity is concerned that the older generation are prime targets for thieves, muggers and robbers so personal alarms may be vital to help fight off / prevent attacks from happening. But the charity is also aware that personal alarms are a great way an elderly person to bring help if they have an accident or fall.

Smoke Hoods Review
A Smoke Hood is a protective mask similar in style to a gas mask except that it covers the full head and is fully air tight with the ability to turn poisonous carbon monoxide fumes to harmless carbon dioxide through its air filtering system. This makes Smoke Hoods an ideal safe measurement to help individuals escape fires in buildings and moving vehicles such as trains or aircrafts. Smoke Hoods can be fitted over the head in less than 10 seconds and each one has a large, protective eye view area giving the wearer an unlimited clear field of vision.
