About PDS

I developed a keen interest in self defense when obtaining my Private Investigator License and have continued in trying to acquire the skills necessary to best

protect myself and family. Through the process of launching Perimeter Defense Systems and designing and manufacturing the Defender Tripwire Alarm, I have sought to help others

acquire that same knowledge and also share some of the unique tools and gear that I have discovered along the way. In today's crazy world it is crucial that everyone at least

know the basic home defense stratagies outlined below.

 

ONION LAYERING

When creating your personal defense strategies think in terms of layers. If your plan is to just try to take out anyone who dares enter your home uninvited it likely wont work

out well for you in most cases! However, if you carefully layer your defenses they probably will never even get into your home, and if they do you will know how to best minimize

harm and stop the threat. There are three main components of an effective security plan in order to protect yourself and those you love.

 

PERIMETER DEFENSE

It all starts with the perimeter which extends from your front door to the edge of your property. This is the area where your going to stop most intruders. You’ll do this by

establishing the risk versus reward question? You want the intruder to believe that the risk of going further won’t be worth the reward in doing so. Increasing the perceived risk

such as having dogs, signs indicating alarm service monitoring, and installing simple perimeter defense systems to help deter criminals will all be in your best interests. The intruder

is likely going to decide to completely bypass your home and seek out easier targets elsewhere.

 

STRUCTURAL DEFENSE

The next layer is your structure. This is your home itself. You need the strongest doors, windows, and locks you can afford. You’re still working on the risk versus reward. The

more effort required to break into your home, the less desirable it will be. Good exterior lighting, particularly motion activated lights will go a long way toward deterring intrusions at night. Practicing good situational awareness is also very important. Sometimes burglars and others wishing you harm will watch a house for days in order to see how close your paying attention to everything around you. If they notice that you’re constantly on alert to possible threats, they will probably decide it isn’t worth the risk.

 

SELF DEFENSE

The final layer is your personal safety. If an intruder has made it through your perimeter and entered your home putting you in danger, you should try to do everything necessary to defend yourself and your family. In most cases, it is my belief that there are not many substitutes for a quality handgun for self defense if unable to escape. And, Just as important is the frequent training necessary in order to use it safely and effectively. Positioning hidden pepper spray in strategic locations throughout your home is a good option if uncomfortable with firearms. Learning martial arts and other types of self defense training techniques such as defending against blade attacks can prove extremely worthwhile. Just think about it, you might find yourself unarmed at the worst possible moment and any advantage over your attacker is going to be critical, and it may even save your life.

 

It's important that you take a moment and peel back the onion and take a careful look at your plan to protect your home and family. Do you have a good layered defense system

in place? What kind of changes are needed?
