Domestic / Intimate Partner Violence…
As Mentioned, the Sign can also be used by victims of Domestic Violence as well!
Many times, police will be called to go to reported or suspected cases of Domestic or Intimate Partner Violence and the abuser will do all of the talking, the victim is so scared of their abuser and is too afraid to speak up, so they either stay quiet or out of fear they agree and go along with what their attacker says.
Unfortunately, that leads the police to believe everything is fine so they end up thinking there’s no problem and they leave. Since the sign can be discreetly done right in front of their abuser while remaining silent at the same time, the police can plainly see that the person is a victim and needs their help which is awesome!
There is no more guessing and no more leaving a victim behind in a situation that is dangerous for them, because of that this hand sign will greatly change things from here on in forever.
Domestic Violence Affects all Genders
On a side note, it’s not talked about very often, it’s not just women who are being beaten up by male partners, there are plenty of cases of woman on woman and man on man abuse happening as well. In addition, there are also plenty of women who hit and beat up on men so it’s a two way street.

Food or Delivery Ordering Technique
On a side note, we are spreading the word to law enforcement that if someone calls in and orders food or some sort of item for delivery it’s to be taken as a sign that they want the police sent to the address they give them.
A conversation might go like this:
(Police) Police, what’s your emergency.
(You) I’d like to order a pizza
(Police) This is the police emergency line, not a pizza place
(You) Yes, A large 3 topping pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms and extra cheese
(If the person who is endangering you is listening order what you typically would)
Then pause for a moment and say yes, for delivery, my address is _____________________
