London, England Nov 1, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - UK-based Sticky says its unique Halo system of branded stickers allows victims to anonymously summon help in a matter of moments through a simple tap of their phone if they suspect they have been attacked.
Halo is a system of stickers which when tapped send an emergency distress call to a member of staff in the club or bar who can then respond immediately.
Priscilla Israel Sticky COO said Halo was a unique solution to a growing problem across the UK.
“The Halo sticker works with just one tap of a mobile phone,” Priscilla said. “If someone is in distress, they simply tap the sticker, and it sends a Halo alert to the designated person in the venue who can respond.
“It means that help can be on hand within seconds and is a clear sign that venues are taking the issue seriously.
“Latest figures from police show that there were nearly 200 confirmed cases of drink spiking in September and October alone, with 24 reports of people being spiked through an injection.
“The Halo sticky offers venues an affordable way of taking action to offer their customers real protection and help stamp out this appalling problem. For victims, it is a quick, discrete way of raising the alarm at a time when they are most vulnerable.
“It doesn’t require anybody to download an app, store a mobile number on their phone or go searching through their contacts for help. You simply tap your phone on the Halo sticky and it calls for help automatically, directing the responder to exactly where you are in the venue.”
“If you are in one part of the club Halo would call one person to summon help, but it can be set up to call another if you are in a different part of the venue. The automated message can also pinpoint your location in the venue so help can get to you as quickly as possible.”
Sticky® Founders James Garner and Priscilla Israel, said: “We believe it is the first time anything like this has been produced in the UK and that it can play a really important role in helping give clubgoers – both men and women – added confidence that they are safe when they are on a night out.”
