News & Safety

The ultimate line of defense in any situation is you. We’re all guilty of thinking “it will never happen to me” or that if it did, someone else will know what to do. The truth is we can never what might happen on any given day. Planning ahead for dangerous situations can literally be the difference between life and death.

We all want to keep our loved ones safe. At home, at school, at the store, and everywhere in between. We carry self defense tools and install alarm systems, we choose a different route or avoid a part of town – it’s an unfortunate reality we have to deal with. The world is evolving faster than ever, and with it the dangers we face. New challenges demand new solutions. At HERO®, designing the less lethal protection tools of tomorrow is what we do.

When it comes to self defense products, we understand the importance of quality and consistency. Defects in products like pepper spray or stun guns are more than mild annoyances, they can fail when you need them most. Keeping you and your loved ones safe means ensuring products are rigorously tested for reliable performance every time.

Unfortunately we live in a world where news of people being attacked is a regular occurrence. In fact, 58% of Americans report unsafe feeling everyday. Troubled citizens are arming themselves in response. In their homes, vehicles, in nature, and everywhere in between. But not everyone is comfortable carrying a firearm.
