Location-Tracking Self-Defense Devices

The Taser Pulse+ Calls for Help When Used

— November 20, 2018 — Tech
The Taser Pulse+ is a compact piece of self-defense equipment that has been created with optimal safety in mind to offer users an enhanced sense of security when walking after dark or in new locations.

The device works by sending your location to the authorities when fired to provide additional security rather than leaving users to fend for themselves after encountering a dangerous group or individual. The wireless connectivity will keep the device connected to the accompanying app to ensure help is called for immediately after deployment instead of requiring the user to do so manually.

The Taser Pulse+ stun gun is focused on incapacitating an attacker rather than using lethal force to give the user a chance to get away unscathed.
