produce a low cost mechanism for timely and needful communication. The device is
created to provide safety, increase awareness in security and safety; and to offer a
constant peace of mind for you and those who care about you. The device which is
connected via Bluetooth to your smartphones will notify the authorities by pressing the
button on the device. The authority will then take action in order to prevent forthcoming
threats.
The general objective of the study is to create a security platform that provide
alerts with all the information they need to quickly coordinate to the authority like the
police and the user’s trusted friends and family. The system will use the power of your
accessibility, police numbers, customize feedbacks for assurance and customize your

The study spans over the design, fabrication, need for personal safety gadgets in
hostile environments and testing. The device is expected to be carried close to the victim.
The device will only send alerts including the location of the victim once the button is
pressed. SMS alerts from the device will consist of a predetermined message, victim’s
personal information and real time GPS location and updates. There will be vibration
feedback and confirmation message set on the smartphone connected to the device to
indicate false alarm. The device is only expected to be used in extreme conditions that
violate the victim’s safety. The mechanism is exclusively used as a safety gadget;
powered, communication is not guaranteed between the smartphone and the authority
numbers if there is no signal in the given area and having an insufficient load balance,
resulting for the system to not send text messages alerts on police station and specified
