There is a long and storied history of whistles for protection. Ancient Egyptian guards used to place a blade of grass between the thumbs to alert other guards of issues that were transpiring. Later, shells were used to the same end. In China, acorns with holes drilled in them were used similarly.
As a dedicated instrument, whistles have been made of wood, bone, metal, and later, plastics. British bobbies have used whistles to communicate over distances since the 1880s. They are a commonly used tool for boatswains, crossing guards, and referees.
I wish I knew more about rape whistles, but they seem similar in functionality to hikers taking whistles with them in case of injury, as the sound carries much further than yelling, and is much less tiring.
As someone regularly stalked by a large creepy harasser, I am grateful for the whistle I was given for self-protection, even if the creeps who it was given to defend against resent the fuck out of it.
Fin.

A Portland Police Bureau report released late last month shows that the agency's review board recommended that a sergeant be fired after lying to investigators about placing a right-wing meme in a training presentation — a recommendation that Chief Bob Day and then-Mayor Ted Wheeler declined to follow.

Known as the "Prayer of the Alt Knight," the meme has been traced back to a member of the far-right Proud Boys group and endorses police brutality against a "dirty hippy," showing an officer in riot gear with fist raised over a person with long hair.

McDaniel denied the allegation that he'd put the slide in the presentation. Then-Chief Chuck Lovell ultimately concluded that it was "more likely than not" that McDaniel was responsible for the slide, according to the memo, though Lovell backed away from termination of the sergeant's employment and instead suspended him for 100 hours without pay.
