HELP IS ONLY MINUTES AWAY!

When it comes to self-defense, make no mistake about it – you are your own first responder. Of course, you should call 911 and hope for a police response… if you can. The simple reality is that sometimes things happen so fast that you don’t have any choice, and in those times, we have no choice but to take matters into our own hands. It’s a Hollywood myth that we can just call the police and they’ll be right there.

 'GREAT NEWS! You are here, so that means you have decided to take yours and your family’s safety into your own hands. Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past several years, you are well aware that now, more than ever you need to be vigilant and serious about defending yourself, and your loved ones. 

How long does it actually take from the time you dial 911 for the police to arrive? It turns out that varies widely based on where you live. Most cities aim for an average response time of about five to six minutes, but the data shows that’s more of a goal than a reality in many U.S. cities. In reality, it can vary from a few minutes to a few hours depending on the reason the call was placed, where you are located, how many officers are available, how many calls are ahead of your and other determining factors.
