PowerCakes Blogger Giveaway - How Do You Stay Safe?

Many college students have been on campus for about a month, but the Red Zone is still in effect. The Red Zone is what law enforcement refers to as September and October and it's when the most accidents, injuries and attacks happen on college campuses. SABRE and our partners are continuing to remind everyone to make their personal safety a priority.

Self-Defense Expert and SABRE partner Jennifer Cassetta took the message to the PowerCakes Blog this weekend. She shares her five most important tips for Back to School Safety - plus, a SABRE product giveaway! Take a look at some of her tips here, but head over the PowerCakes blog to learn more tips!

#1: Check Your Posture -  How you stand, walk, and carry yourself can deter a potential attacker or make you a walking target. Keep your shoulders back and your head and eyes up as you walk around in public to convey confidence to others.

#2: Get Off Your Phone - Contrary to the comforting aspect some may find with texting or talking to people on the phone as you're out and about, put your phone down and don't be distracted! Be engaged with your surroundings, not your voicemails or Instagram feed. 

#3: Keep Your Home Away From Home Safe - Whether you live in a one-room dorm or share an apartment with friends, it's important to make your home your safe haven. SABRE's Dorm/Apartment Kit come with three alarms that can keep you and your belongings safe by sounding sirens heard up to 300 feet away if an intruder tries to break in.

Need Last Minute Back to School Safety Essentials? Head to Target!

Many students have already made the journey back to campus - but even the most prepared may have left a few important items off their shopping lists. And if you haven't left yet - SABRE has some additions to your last minute Target run!

You can find several SABRE products at your local Target store that help keep college students safer on campus. Here are some of our favorites that will help you and your college student have peace of mind while they're away:

1.) Dorm/Apartment Kit: This three-piece set will give you protection at home and on the go. The door stop alarm, and door/window alarm sound at 120 decibels when activated - a siren you can hear up to 300 feet away so your hall mates and neighbors will know if you're in trouble. The alarms are battery activated, and take just seconds to install before they're ready to be used. Plus - it's portable so these key pieces can be carted to your next home away from home. The kit also includes a personal alarm with an LED light.

2.) Personal Alarms: SABRE's personal alarms may look like thumb drives you surely have to head back to campus, but instead of saving your homework it could help save you from becoming a victim. These 110 decibel alarms are easy to activate - just pull the alarm from the key chain and people up to 300 feet away will know you need help.

3.) SABRE Red Key Chain Pepper Spray: SABRE's Campus Safety Pepper Gel is a great option for college students as it doesn't become airborne and any secondary effects on the user or bystanders are minimal. You can find one here - but Target carries our best selling traditional pepper spray. This quick release key chain model gives you protection from up to 10 feet away, has a 4 year shelf life, and can be sprayed up to 25 times!

And for the parents - while you're in the SABRE aisle, check out our home series product line you can use to protect your home. Especially those now finding themselves "empty nesters," don't leave your home unprotected when you jet off for some much needed vacations!

Keep Your Home Away From Home Safe & Protected

Millions of college freshman are heading off to campus to live on their own for the first time! But with this new change in environment comes many new responsibilities.

It may seem like a great idea to leave your dorm room unlocked while you run to the bathroom, change a load of laundry, or simply keep it open while you're hanging out with friends on your floor. The numbers should warn you against that - more than 10,000 students are victims of aggravated assault and robbery each year. Since many students are heading to school with new, and expensive, school supplies, SABRE created our Dorm/Apartment Kit to help students keep these valuables safe. Priced at $26.99 - our Dorm/Apartment Kit is a practical and inexpensive solution!

The Dorm/Apartment kit comes with three stand-alone alarms:

1.) Door Stop Alarm: This 120 decibel alarm can be heard up to 300 feet away, and sounds when pressure is applied. Since this fits underneath your doorway on the inside, it will sound if someone tries to open the door from the outside.

2.) Door/Window Alarm: Also sounding 120 decibels, this alarm can secure the other entry point into your dorm room, the window, or a second door. The compact device sounds when the magnetic strip is moved, like when the door or window are opened.

3.) Personal Alarm - this key chain model complete with an LED light provides on-the-go protection. The 115 decibel alarm can be heard up to 300 feet away, and draws attention to you in a dangerous situation.

These alarms take seconds to install and set up, and can move with the college student as they change surroundings from year to year. Start investing in your student's safety today and visit our website to lean more!
