How does the member support service work?
As a member, you’ll have access to 24/7 emergency guidance and immediate connection to experienced professionals who can advise you on what to do after any self-defense encounter. You’ll also receive follow-up assistance through our community network and support fund.
Do you provide legal advice?
We are not a law firm and do not offer direct legal advice. However, membership includes access to pooled resources that can be used to secure professional legal representation when needed.
Is membership limited to New York incidents?
No — your membership benefits extend nationwide. Training and support are accessible anywhere in the U.S., and our assistance network covers incidents that occur outside of New York as well.
Do I have to live in New York to join?
No. While we’re proudly based in New York, our membership is open to responsible citizens in nearly every state. Anyone who values preparedness and responsible protection can join.
