SURVIVE: Practical Personal Safety for the Real World

Most people don't think about personal safety until something goes wrong. SURVIVE is not a book about fighting. It's about awareness, judgment, and the small decisions that quietly determine whether an ordinary day ends the way it should. Written by a retired police chief with more than thirty years in law enforcement, this short, practical guide focuses on where real-world danger actually appears: in cars, parking lots, homes, and everyday public spaces.
It addresses how people are selected as victims, why familiar places are often the most dangerous, and how simple habits can reduce risk without fear or bravado. This book does not offer tactics or false promises. It offers perspective-drawn from years of responding after things went wrong-and guidance designed to help you avoid ever reaching that point. Clear, grounded, and deliberately restrained, SURVIVE is written for people who don't want to live in fear, but who understand that responsibility begins with awareness.
Read it with your family in mind.
