These alarms are worn on the body discreetly and can be used if the wearer feels in danger. By simply pressing a silent button, the security company is immediately alerted. The device will vibrate silently, letting the user know that it’s been effectively activated and that someone is now listening in and ready to help.
The security company will alert the relevant authorities and already have the exact coordinates of where the wearer is due to two different types of GPS trackers. Anything the security company hears can be court admissible. And, if the alarm is accidentally activated, the wearer will receive a phone call checking that they are okay.
The current areas serviced by the alarms include the Bass Coast, La Trobe Valley, and the Bayside Peninsula — covering an extensive amount of ground to help individuals and families in need. Our dream is to build this initiative so that it will one day be available nation-wide.
As a psychologist, Sam was deeply passionate about helping make life easier for people experiencing family violence, and initiatives like these help to carry on her legacy. If you are also passionate about helping people in need and are interested in getting involved in this project, we would love to hear from you.
