      This Amendment No. 6 amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D
(as previously filed and amended most recently in May 1997 (the "Schedule 13D")
relating to the common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock") of
Mace Security International, Inc. (the "Company") and filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on behalf of Robert P. Gould. Except as disclosed
herein, there has been no change in the information previously reported in the
Schedule 13D, as amended. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the
meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

      Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

      Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding thereto the following:

      On December 30, 1997, Mr. Gould sold 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock in
private transactions to various investors. The terms of these transaction were
not disclosed.

      Mr. Gould owns 136,444 shares of Common Stock, and has the sole power to
vote such shares. As a result of the termination of the Shareholders Voting
Agreement (as described in Item 6), Mr. Gould no longer has voting rights
(shared or sole) with respect to any other shares.

      There are currently 7,081,666 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

      Mr. Gould has granted to Marvin P. Brown an option to purchase 100,000
shares of Common Stock. Until such time the option is exercised, Mr. Gould
continues to own, and have the sole right to vote, the shares underlying the
option. Consequently, the shares underlying the option are included in the
136,444.

      Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

      Item 6 is hereby amended as follows:

      The Shareholders Voting Agreement entered into among Mr. Gould, Marvin P.
Brown and Jon E. Goodrich on January 9, 1997, has been terminated.

      As a result of the termination of the Shareholders Voting Agreement, the
options previously granted to Mr. Brown by Mr. Gould have terminated. To replace
the options that have terminated, Mr. Brown has been granted options to purchase
100,000 shares of Common Stock by Mr. Gould. Such options are exercisable at any
time at an exercise price of $1.25 per share. Such options expire April 24,
1999.

      Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

      (1) Option to purchase Common Stock granted to Marvin P. Brown.

      After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I
certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and
correct.

Dated: January 9, 1998                 /s/ Robert P. Gould

            shares at any one time;

      (B)   Brown shall exercise his right to purchase equally as between shares
            owned by Gould and shares owned by Goodrich (i.e., any exercise of
            the right to purchase shall result in the purchase of an equal
            number of shares from Gould and from Goodrich).

      4. Notice of Exercise of Right. The right to purchase shall be exercised
by written notice to Gould at 709 East McNeill Street, Lillington, North

representing the Shares as to which the right to purchase was exercised and for
which full payment has been made.

      5. Purchase Price and Payment Terms. The purchase price shall be $1.25 per
share payable in full in cash at the time Brown exercises his right to purchase
pursuant to Section 4
<PAGE>

above.

respect to any shares covered by this Agreement prior to delivery to him of
certificates for such shares following due exercise of his right to purchase.

      7. Agreement Contingent on Other Transactions. The validity and effect of
this Agreement is contingent on the consummation of the sale of at least 800,000
shares of Gould's stock and 400,000 shares of Goodrich's stock prior to or at
the time of the execution of this Agreement.

      8. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding on the Parties'
successors, assigns, transferees, heirs, legatees, beneficiaries, executors and
personal representatives.

      9. Entire Understanding of the Parties. This Agreement contains the entire
understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and
all prior negotiations and agreements are merged herein. Any executory agreement
simultaneously or hereafter made shall be ineffective to change, modify,
discharge or affect any abandonment of this Agreement, in whole or in part,
unless such executory agreement is in writing and signed by the party against
whom enforcement of the change, modification, discharge or abandonment is
sought.

      10. Singular Includes Plural. The singular number includes the plural and
the masculine gender includes the feminine and the neuter, wherever appropriate,
and vice versa.

      11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
State of Delaware without regard to principles and conflicts of law.

      12. Miscellaneous. Except as otherwise set forth herein, no party may

Agreement without the written consent
<PAGE>

of all other parties. Any person or entity acting in the pace of any party named
