Incorporate it today, and if you have young children, it is absolutely necessary. I would even run 3 different passwords, #1 I'm safe but need picked up, #2 I'm safe but it could get bad quickly pick me up asap , #3 I'm in danger call police and come get me NOW! But you decide. If you do use one now, share your story how it has helped or saved someone. 2014-11-25T05:39:49-05:00 SSG(P) Private RallyPoint Member 341444

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes they should. Personal safety and family safety. We have it and use it to verify that what is said is true and correct.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Good idea but lot of variables to consider where code words may or may not be right for everyone including:<br />- Age and maturity of kids.<br />- Crime levels within one's area.<br />- Balancing act between preparing one's family and unnecessarily scaring the family.<br />- Training the family on how/when to use. Knowing code words is not sufficient in my opinion.
