Staying Safe: How situational awareness can save your life. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578297521)

Embedded in everyone is the ability to identify threats to our lives. In fact, staying out of harms way by avoiding potential theft and violence is how we've survived as a species. But now in these modern times we need new methods to cope with today's hazards. In "Staying Safe: How Situational Awareness Will Save Your Life," national crime prevention expert Travis Bruyer shows us how to identify, assess, and predict an imminent risk-even before strategizing to avoid potential harm. Did you see that stranger's evaluating glance, nervous hand movement, predatory body language. Did you notice the odd things going on around you, the out-of-place indicators that suggest something is about to go horribly wrong? Cop's call it situational awareness, the radar that sets off the warning alarm. Staying Safe gives you valuable, easy-to-understand tips and guidance, as well as uncomplicated yet thorough explanations to protect yourself. Let's face it: Your personal safety and personal defense is paramount. Panic and crippling fear breed a victim. Knowledge is not only power, but can also be a life-saver.
