Unarmed security has its own unique challenges. Our options are limited when we encounter a trespasser or intruder while on patrol. Many of us prefer Mag-lites because they can be used as a last resort defense if we are unable to retreat/escape.
Carrying a whistle is another way to protect yourself. You can use it at a distance to shoo trespassers away. This keeps you out of the "danger zone." Whistles are also useful for scaring potential intruders away. The last thing they want is a lot of noise to attract attention to what they are doing. Finally, a whistle may save your life when you are trapped in an area where people are unable to hear your cries for help. I'm sure that you can think of other good reasons to carry a whistle as well. Some people will tease you for having one, but it's well worth it.
