Abstract
A personal safety system (8) carried for emergency or abduction preparedness where information might need to be captured and left behind as evidence for the safe return of the user. The user may capture voice or video information and then throw it down and leave it behind at the crime scene for later location discovery and evidence recovery. By removal of pull-pin (12) PSS (8) is activated and recording is available through microphone (18) into voice recording solid-state chip with playback (14). An RF transmitter and antenna (9) is also activated for position discovery by the rescue team once notification is made that user has gone missing. A portable hand-held RF receiver (20) with directional antenna apparatus (44) and a received signal strength indicator (46) is used to help locate the personal safety system (8) and the crime scene. The power source (29) operates the unit and safely maintains the recorded evidence. The components are embedded in a housing (23) that is made rugged material for survivability outdoors in the elements. Once located, the captured forensic information is retrieved via a headphone (19) via the interconnect jack (11).
