An electronic deterrence device comprising:

• a housing;
• one or more first indicator lights visible from a front of the housing;
• one or more second indicator lights, wherein the one or more second indicator lights, when illuminated, illuminate a textual message visible from the front of the housing;
• a power supply;
• a switch having at least three positions;
• and
• a microcontroller electrically coupled to the one or more first indicator lights, the one or more second indicator lights, the power supply, and the switch,
• wherein the microcontroller is configured to:
• determine a position of the switch;
• responsive to determining that the switch is in a first position, disable the one or more first indicator lights and the one or more second indicator lights;
• responsive to determining that the switch is in a second position, illuminate the one or more first indicator lights and the one or more second indicator lights using electrical power delivered from the power supply;
• and
• responsive to determining that the switch is in a third position, illuminate the one or more first indicator lights and the one or more second indicator lights using electrical power delivered from the power supply based on an ambient condition.
