Three smart ways to keep track of your teens when they’re out.

The teen years can be a challenging time for parents and their children. It is a time when young people crave freedom and independence to make their own choices and to enjoy themselves out of the house. It is also a time when parents worry about how to keep their children safe. They still want to allow them to have a life outside of their families.

The teenage years indicate a period when young people are more inclined to take risks and engage in potentially harmful behaviours. These issues coupled with the security concerns of living in a country like South Africa make it hard to let your teens be teens.

One of the biggest worries you might have as a parent is how to keep track or monitor your teen’s movements when they’re out and about, especially after school or at night.

 

PRACTICAL WAYS TO KEEP TRACK OF YOUR TEENS

1. CONNECT WITH OTHER PARENTS

Do you run a lift club with parents from your child's school? Perhaps you rotate drop-off and pick-up responsibilities. Check-in with them when they are in charge of your teen's movements and make sure you get to know all the parents. Set up a community group chat so that you can alert each other to any potential issues or keep each other up to speed with planned group activities. Use the free Overwatch feature on the SECURE 911 App to set up mobile community groups and community watch chat channels for updates within your circle. All chats are secure.

2. TOUCH BASE REGULARLY

The world of digital technology has changed the way we interact with each other and the level at which we are in contact.

Does your teen have a mobile phone?

Set the expectation that they will call or message you when they reach their destination or have a change of plans. Regular check-ins should be part of any outing they are on or are planning to attend. The free Chats feature on the SECURE 911 App, lets you chat to your connections on your personal and community groups. Stay in touch when they're not physically present.

3. USE AN APP

Are you tired of waiting for your teen to call or message you? Install an App onto your teen’s phone that allows you to track their movements via geo-tracking technology. Know exactly where they are in real-time. Safe, reliable, and easy to manage, the free Monitor feature on the SECURE 911 App is perfect for this task. The Monitor feature allows you to track your loved ones at any time. Subscribe to the premium Panic SOS feature for a small monthly fee and experience how peace of mind feels. Connect with our rapid response control room with the touch of a button. One of the competent, trained personnel will access your concern and address it with relevant assistance.

SECURE 911 provides you access to tracking, communication, and security.

The world has changed considerably, and in most cases, people are not as connected to their neighbours as they once were. Increases in crime and this lack of camaraderie have contributed to a lack of safety in neighbourhood areas.

The solution?

Community involvement.

Research shows that neighbourhoods with close community connections tend to be safer places to live. They experience increased levels of safety awareness and crime prevention. Do you want to live in a safer neighbourhood? Get involved!

 

SMART WAYS TO INCREASE YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD SECURITY

1. MEET AND GREET

Getting to know your neighbours can be a powerful way to increase the safety of your neighbourhood. Take time to familiarise yourself with their routines, chat to them about their families, or offer to check up on their house when they’re away. These small actions will make it easier to notice any significant changes in activity or suspicious visitors that could be of concern.

Do you want to keep an even closer eye on your loved ones or friends who live nearby?

Sign up for SECURE 911’s free Monitor feature. The Monitor feature allows you to create groups and message each other in real-time. Keep an eye on your connections 24/7.

2. GET CONNECTED

Do you have a way to contact your neighbours in the event of a neighbourhood safety concern? Exchange phone numbers and set up a neighbourhood calling tree or, better yet, join a community chat group that allows you to contact group members about any adverse activity. SECURE 911 is the perfect community connection tool. Download it to your smartphone and experience peace of mind. The free Overwatch feature allows you to set up community chat channels for instant messaging. Send and receive automated security alerts about concerns in your neighbourhood.

3. KEEP THINGS TIDY

Remove garden refuse, trim hedges, install night-activated lighting, ensure that your fence is stable and that there are no repairs to be done. A well-cared-for property means there are fewer places for a suspicious person to hide. If you have an outdoor alarm system or electric fence, make sure it’s working correctly and providing the security it should.

4. WORK ON YOUR HOME SECURITY

Always keep your doors and windows locked whenever you go out. Make use of security gates and alarm systems when at home and away. Be sure to draw your curtains and switch on interior lights. Encourage your neighbours to do the same. A well-lit, secure, and clean neighbourhood looks like it is cared for and that can be a deterrent to thieves.

5. COMMIT TO A SMART SECURITY SYSTEM

Are you aware of the SECURE 911’s premium Panic SOS feature? Turn your phone into an instant panic button? A touch of your mobile screen will connect you directly to our control room where a trained operator will assess your emergency and dispatch the required rapid response team.

At SECURE 911, we care about keeping your family and your community safe and helping you secure your loved ones in the case of an emergency or high-risk situation.

A community chat group, accessed via your phone, is a smart way to keep in touch with your neighbours and loved ones. Chats are quick, simple, and instant. This kind of communication, if used correctly, is useful for keeping your community up to date with news, developments, and security concerns.

A community chat channel on your phone, like the one that comes free with the Overwatch and Monitor on the SECURE 911 App, is a fantastic idea for anyone who is security conscious. If you set up or use a community chat channel, you should abide by some golden rules for its use. These rules, if followed, will harness the power of the community chat for good.

 

GOLDEN RULES FOR COMMUNITY CHAT GROUPS

1. DO - STAY ON POINT

Remind yourself of the purpose of your group before posting to it. Are you meant to discuss neighbourhood concerns in the group? Keep your focus on that. Send messages and alerts (Overwatch) that relate to that group. If you spam community members with irrelevant information, offers, or personal requests, they might leave the group. Less member will render the group ineffective. If you want to discuss other matters, set up another chat channel and get chatting there.

2. DO – KEEP THE MESSAGE TO THE POINT

Avoid one word per line messages. Numerous notifications could result in members missing the crucial parts of a message. In the same breath, lengthy messages can be difficult and time-consuming to read.

3. DO – TELL MEMBERS IF YOU ARE LEAVING THE GROUP

Are you moving out of the neighbourhood? Let others know before you exit the community group. Provide alternative contact details if necessary. This notification is paramount if you are one of the group administrators. Besides the obvious, notifying your group members is a common courtesy.

4. DON’T – ADD MINORS OR NON-ESSENTIAL CONTACTS TO YOUR GROUP

Only include members of the group who have a legitimate reason to be part of it. Where security issues are concerned, this is an important cog in the system. Exclude minors from your neighbourhood groups. Children and adults should never be part of the same group. Adults should never engage children who are not their own.

5. DON’T – POST PERSONAL MESSAGES TO THE GROUP

If you need to talk to someone in the group about something personal send them a private chat message. Bombarding the entire group with matters that are of no importance to them, or their security is downright rude.

6. DON’T – FORGET TO RESPOND

If a group member asks a question or sends a message that requires an individual response from each group member, respond promptly. In the case of a security concern, you must acknowledge the message and respond.

Do you want to set up a group chat? Are you looking for a simple chat channel to connect with your loved ones and community? Download the SECURE 911 App. The free Chats feature allows you to stay in touch with those you care about on a one-on-one basis. Group chats are available through the Monitor and Overwatch features.

Being hijacked can be a terrifying experience. Sadly, it is a reality that many South Africans face. While you can never fully prepare for what might happen in this emergency, there are steps you can take to give yourself a chance to survive this ordeal unscathed.

Take the necessary precautions before you find yourself vulnerable. Make sure you put in place steps to avoid a hijacking situation. Always remain vigilant of your surroundings when driving or parking, especially at home or in an area where escape routes are limited. Leave space between your car and other vehicles in traffic, and at stop streets so that you can maneuver out of the way if need be. Never park in the driveway while waiting for your gate to open. If you feel as someone is following you, drive to the nearest police station. Do not stop and investigate suspicious activity or fall for common hijacking tricks like an individual pointing to your wheels as if something is wrong, forcing you to stop.

Have you been left stranded on the side of the road?

A rapid response App like SECURE 911 is one of the best options you have of removing yourself from potential danger. SECURE 911’s Panic SOS feature instantly connects you to our 24/7 control room at the touch of a button. The competent staff will assess your emergency and respond appropriately. Armed response and roadside assistance services will be on their way within minutes.

 

THREE LIFE-SAVING TIPS IF YOU ARE HIJACKED

1. DON’T MAKE EYE CONTACT BUT PAY ATTENTION

It’s best to remain calm in front of the hijackers. Do not make any sudden, aggressive moves. Refrain from making direct eye contact as that could appear threatening. Keep your eyes down and your hands in sight but be sure to pay attention to as many details about the hijackers as possible. Be attentive to their language, race, height, clothing, and vehicle details. These facts can help narrow down a police search.

2. DO NOT BE MOVED TO A NEW LOCATION

In most hijacking cases, criminals are more interested in your car than they are in you. Always get out of the vehicle as quickly as possible. Ensure that you evacuate your children first. Let the hijackers know what you are doing at all times. Wherever possible, prevent the hijackers from taking any family member with them. The same rule applies to you. Allow the hijackers to take your vehicle and valuables.

3. MAKE EMERGENCY CONTACT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Your vehicle is not worth your life. Once the hijackers have left the scene, make immediate contact with emergency services and the police. Time is of the essence. Use the SECURE 911 App on your smartphone for rapid response. It is vital to notify your community about the incident and create awareness. Make use of the free Overwatch feature to get the message out. Increased awareness equates to increased security.

Simple to download and easy to use. SECURE 911, designed to help keep you and your family safe in high-risk situations.
