Scotsman Shield Announces the Launch of a New Security Products Website

NEW YORK, Aug. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Americans continue to worry about their personal safety. In fact, the percentage of Americans who stated they stress over their safety rose five percent between 2016 and 2017 to 34 percent, according to Statista. Only 23 percent stated they stressed over their safety in 2013, which shows this fear is increasing also. Scotsman Shield recently launched a website to provide individuals with an array of personal and home security products of the highest quality to help reduce this fear and stress.

"In the past, individuals were told to take measures to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their property. It was recommended they do things such as cut down shrubs and trees that may hide unwanted intruders and use timers to cut lights on and off when not at home for an extended period of time. These recommendations hold true today also. However, people need to take their personal protection a step further today and the products offered through Scotsman Shield are of great help in doing so," Ron Robinson, founder of the company, explains. 

Gas stations have recently been targets for criminals and it's easy to see why. People tend to be lax when pumping gas, leaving their valuables in plain sight when they exit the vehicle to fill it up. Criminals can quickly enter the unlocked vehicle, grab these items, and take off in a vehicle they left running. Hidden containers, such as a false soda can, allow a person to carry items wherever they go without leaving them susceptible to theft. This is only one example of the many products offered by the company. 

"When a person is out and about, he or she needs to take care and remain aware of their surroundings. Avoid gas stations that have lights out and never park in a dark lot. Find a lighted area to leave the vehicle for any period of time, and only visit those establishments that are well lit and populated. Simple steps such as these can go a long way to protecting yourself when in public," Robinson continues. 

However, criminals have become braver and may approach a person with theft in mind. At these times, pepper spray may be of great help to the person in danger. While using the spray should be the last option, people feel more confident knowing they have it available in an emergency.

"Use caution at all times. When your instincts tell you to avoid someone, do so. When someone appears to be following you, cross the street to get away from them if doing so is possible. In the event they follow, enter the nearest lighted establishment. Learn ways to keep yourself safe in different situations, and know our products are there to help when you cannot avoid a bad situation. We want you to always arrive at your destination safely, and our products can help you do so," Robinson declares.
