Sandringham Business Association chair Jithin Chttibomma has enlisted the help of Sir Ray Avery to give trial emergency watches to Sandringham businesses to let workers in trouble alert police.

These watches will send alarms directly to the police, who will apparently respond to an emergency call within three minutes.

This trial was launched a week after Sandringham dairy worker Jamal Patel was fatally stabbed during a robbery.

Sandringham Business Association chair, Jithin Chittibomma says pressing the panic button contacts a centre which records audio and gives the police your location if you're experiencing violence or threats.
