The PPS8 is one of the best personal alarms on the market. It features a 130dB alarm – the loudest rated alarm sold by Vigilant. Designed to be placed in the outer pockets of a purse or backpack, the PPS8 can also be hand carried by joggers. The alarm is activated by simply pulling the pin, which deters attackers or intruders but also functions to draw attention to you if you need medical attention or help. Use of a personal alarm switches the element of surprise from the attacker to the potential victim. The PPS8 also includes a miniature LED light, activated by a separate on/off button, for a quick and small illumination of a walking path, car door lock, or other low light situations.
Personal alarms are one of the fastest growing segments at retail in the self defense industry, because an attacker’s worst enemy is attention. Personal alarms are legal to carry in all 50 states (even on airplanes!) and are a very safe and effective method of self defense. They require no training or skill to operate, and can be used by anyone regardless of age or physical ability. Police Officers, Campus Safety and Security Consultants recommend the use of personal safety alarms. Victims are often too traumatized to shout for help in unfamiliar and dangerous situations, increasing their vulnerability. The high pitched alarm is intended to scare off an assailant while switching the element of surprise from the attacker to the victim. Criminals do not like to draw attention, and will likely run off when they realize the alarm cannot be stopped.
A percentage of the sale from each personal alarm will be donated to missing children’s funds and non-profit personal safety organizations nationwide.
The PPS8 is particularly suitable for Young People, College Students, Night Owls, Lone Workers, Joggers, Elderly, Nurses/Personal Care Workers, Delivery/Route Employees.

OUTSTANDING!!! There are so many aspects that I like about this product! First, it fits very comfortably in the palm of your hand. I loop my wrist through the cord and then hold the device in my hand. Most people don’t even notice you are holding it. Since this device is meant to startle any potential attackers, they wouldn’t even notice it in your hand. With the wrist cord being looped around your wrist, you would have no trouble pulling the pin out to activate the alarm. The pin is a little bit snug, but I think you would want it to be. This prevents any accidental activation of the unit. The size and shape of the unit is very appealing; it is about the length of a candy bar just a bit slimmer. Also, it is NOT heavy at all. It feels to be about the weight as a typical butter knife. It is VERY comfortable and easy to carry. Second, it is VERY loud! I bought this device and another that was only 120 decibels and was surprised at how much louder 130 decibels was over 120 dbs. The color is exactly as it appears in its picture. As a nighttime college student, it gives me just that added feeling of security when walking through nearly deserted campus buildings and semi-dark parking lots. Many college students fail to check their school’s campus regulations and are surprised to find out that most schools prohibit the carrying of mace and stun guns, so this is an EXCELLENT alternative!!! Those students who do get caught carrying prohibited devices run the risk of being dismissed from their school and end of with this type of violation in their permanent school records. The small button near the top activates the flashlight and must be held down continuously to activate the light. The light is not very bright, but I believe it was not intended to serve as a beacon. It is just bright enough to find something that might be dropped inside your car or to see a car door’s key opening. So with all of this said, I give this device my HIGHEST recommendations! I plan on buying one of these for each of the important people in my life and would recommend that you do the same!
Excellent Safety Item Was looking for something that would truly be heard from a fair distance away and would not be too bulky and this fitted both needs. The alarm is easy to acivate and is extremely loud. I am very pleased with it.
CHANGE THE BATTERIES AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE IT! I ordered two of these…one for me and one for my daughter. My husband took them outside to test them, because he didn’t want such a loud noise in the house, to frighten the pets. They made such a tiny little noise, so he brought them inside and they didn’t even wake up the dog!We changed the batteries, and he tested them again. This time, they blasted away. These alarms come with cheapo batteries. So, if you order this item, put in new, good quality batteries in as soon as you receive it.
