Hounslow, 17th January 2007: With all the new gadgets and gizmos to help us play music, watch video and talk to people when we are alone it almost seems that technology is for fun exclusively. Securicorp today launched the “Securicorp Locator” which is a personal alert device with a built in tracker. “Personal security is an issue which is more common in city centres. While CCTV may record the incident we found that a real time alert would make people feel more assured to go about their daily business”, said Archana Shah, Personal security product manager at Securicorp. “Not only is it about people going to and from work or social outings but part of their job”, she added. “Out of the 42 homes in which CCTV was installed 33 families enquired about personal safety devices for their female spouses. It most cases this even meant if the female travelled by car”, said Archana. The Locator has been devised in response to this feedback. It has a function which allows anyone to go online and immediately track the holder of the device. An SIM card inserted in the device allows the holder to press one button to instantly dial an emergency number and it will try up to 6 numbers if it cant get hold of the first ones. The technology has been around for many years but it is the end application which is sometimes missing. Normally customer research can counter this but in instances where the issues are old and ongoing they seem to get missed when the latest round of mobiles are launched. About Securicorp Ltd.
