Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safety tips are everywhere and everyone has one. This book is a collection of the best and most useable tips that I have given to people or learned over the years from the different situations that I have seen, heard about, or had to deal with as a police officer.

I want to make you confident and aware. Doing everything in this book will not guarantee that you will always be safe, but making them a part of your daily life will make you a much less likely target.
