As businesses return to in-person work, it’s going to take a little time for us to dust off our commuting routines and remember the little details that keep us safe as we get around.

You’ve probably noticed by now that we’re a little obsessed with safety over here at TASER Self-Defense. So as our people look into making their commute by car, foot, bike or public transit, we invited them to share their tips for safer commuting, no matter how you choose to get yourself from A to B.

Summer is all about sunshine, warm temperatures and having fun in the great outdoors. Of course, that summer weather we all love so much can also produce some pretty crazy weather, like hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, wildfires and even dust storms. That’s why it’s always a good idea to be prepared for an emergency before it happens.

 

This week, we’re highlighting James Hiromasa, CEO of Colorado Krav Maga, Inc., TASER Civilian Instructor, and author of Amazon best seller, How to Be A Super Hero. Read on to get his perspective on personal safety and why he recommends the TASER Pulse+ device to his clients.

June is National Safety Month, and it’s gotten us thinking a lot about the saying, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." In our lives, we tend to focus on the big threats and how we can prevent or at least minimize them from affecting us. But how often do we think about the little things we could be doing to every day to keep ourselves safe?

June is National Safety Month, and this month we’re bringing the safety conversation to you by talking to our civilian TASER trainers and asking them to share their tips for personal safety.

Movies and TV shows have taught us that tucking your device straight into a pocket or waistband is the cool way to carry. It may look cool, but safety experts will tell you that, like many things in Hollywood, you should ignore the cool way to do something and use the safe way instead.

COVID-19 has upended all of our lives in some way or another. Shelter-in-place orders have created a lot of uncertainty, and being homebound is throwing a lot of old routines out the window.

But while today’s “new normal” looks a lot different than it did a few months ago, one thing hasn’t changed: the need to keep you and your family safe and healthy. And even though you’re stuck at home, there are plenty of things you can do to put a new spin on old habits and be prepared for when the world opens up once more.
