A camera, a speaker, an activation control, a charging port, an emergency control, and an indicator light are disposed on the glove. A rechargeable battery, a GPS tracking chip, and a microprocessor are disposed within the glove. The emergency control has a first position, an alternate second position, and an alternate third position. The emergency control is configured to activate the speaker to sound an alarm when the emergency control is in the first position. The emergency control is configured to activate the camera when the emergency control is in the second position. The emergency control is configured to activate the GPS tracking chip when the emergency control is in the third position. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A personal safety glove comprising: a glove having a top surface, a bottom surface, and an adjustable cuff; a camera disposed on the glove, wherein the camera is configured to record still photos and, alternately, video; a GPS tracking chip disposed within the glove; wherein the GPS tracking chip is configured to notify a police department that a user is in an emergency situation and to alert the police department as to a location of the user; a speaker disposed on the glove; an activation control disposed on the glove; an indicator light disposed on the glove, wherein the indicator light is configured to light when the activation control is activated; a rechargeable battery disposed within the glove; a charging port disposed on the glove, the charging port attached to the rechargeable battery, wherein a right end of a power cord is removably attachable to the charging port, wherein a left end of the power cord is removably attachable to a power source; a microprocessor disposed within the glove; and an emergency control disposed on the glove; wherein the emergency control has a first position, an alternate second position, and an alternate third position; wherein the emergency control is in the first position when the emergency control is depressed a single time by the user; wherein the emergency control is in the second position when the emergency control is depressed two consecutive times by the user; wherein the emergency control is in the third position when the emergency control is depressed three consecutive times by the user; wherein the emergency control is configured to activate the speaker to sound an alarm when the emergency control is in the first position; wherein the emergency control is configured to activate the camera when the emergency control is in the second position; wherein the emergency control is configured to activate the GPS tracking chip when the emergency control is in the third position; wherein the camera, the GPS tracking chip, the speaker, the activation control, the indicator light, the rechargeable battery, the microprocessor, and the emergency control are in operational communication with each other. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The personal safety glove of claim 1 wherein the camera is disposed on the glove bottom surface proximal the cuff. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The personal safety glove of claim 1 wherein the speaker is disposed on the glove top surface. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The personal safety glove of claim 1 wherein the activation control is disposed on the glove top surface. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The personal safety glove of claim 1 wherein the emergency control is disposed on the glove bottom surface proximal a thumbhole. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The personal safety glove of claim 1 wherein the charging port is disposed on the glove top surface. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The personal safety glove of claim 6 further comprising: a rectangular flap having a top side attached to the glove top surface above the charging port; a pair of adhesive strips comprising a first adhesive strip and a second adhesive strip, wherein the first adhesive strip is continuously disposed on an interior surface of the flap proximal an outer edge, and the second adhesive strip is continuously disposed on the glove top surface proximal the charging port, wherein the first adhesive strip is configured to removably attach the flap to the second adhesive strip in order to removably cover the charging port. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The personal safety glove of claim 1 wherein the glove is fingerless. ### Claim 9 A personal safety glove comprising: a fingerless glove having a top surface, a bottom surface, and an adjustable cuff; a camera disposed on the glove bottom surface proximal the cuff, wherein the camera is configured to record still photos and, alternately, video; a GPS tracking chip disposed within the glove; wherein the GPS tracking chip is configured to notify a police department that a user is in an emergency situation and to alert the police department as to a location of the user; a speaker disposed on the glove; an activation control disposed on the glove top surface; an indicator light disposed on the glove, wherein the indicator light is configured to light when the activation control is activated; a rechargeable battery disposed within the glove; a charging port disposed on the glove top surface, the charging port attached to the rechargeable battery, wherein a right end of a power cord is removably attachable to the charging port, wherein a left end of the power cord is removably attachable to a power source; a microprocessor disposed within the glove; an emergency control disposed on the glove bottom surface proximal a thumbhole; wherein the emergency control has a first position, an alternate second position, and an alternate third position; wherein the emergency control is in the first position when the emergency control is depressed a single time by the user; wherein the emergency control is in the second position when the emergency control is depressed two consecutive times by the user; wherein the emergency control is in the third position when the emergency control is depressed three consecutive times by the user; wherein the emergency control is configured to activate the speaker to sound an alarm when the emergency control is in the first position; wherein the emergency control is configured to activate the camera when the emergency control is in the second position; wherein the emergency control is configured to activate the GPS tracking chip when the emergency control is in the third position; wherein the camera, the GPS tracking chip, the speaker, the activation control, the indicator light, the rechargeable battery, the microprocessor, and the emergency control are in operational communication with each other; a rectangular flap having a top side attached to the glove top surface above the charging port; and a pair of adhesive strips comprising a first adhesive strip and a second adhesive strip, wherein the first adhesive strip is continuously disposed on an interior surface of the flap proximal an outer edge, and the second adhesive strip is continuously disposed on the glove top surface proximal the charging port, wherein the first adhesive strip is configured to removably attach the flap to the second adhesive strip in order to removably cover the charging port.
