Everyone should read STAY SAFE. Whether you are a novice to the concept of personal security or a security related professional; you will learn or deepen your security knowledge base. Former FBI Agent Greg Shaffer presents it in an exceptionally comprehensive manner that will educate and keep the reader, their loved ones and workmates more safe and secure. His chapters on church, travel, and workplace security and special event security planning are incredibly relevant. His focus on empowering and developing the situational awareness of the reader’s survival mindset can prevent violence and if encountered mitigate the risk and associated damage. Giving the reader “piece of mind”due to their developed situational awareness, preparation, and acquired training. As a former career military officer with a background in anti-terrorism, counter-terrorism, and now school security; I strongly endorse this exceptional book. Bob Killackey

My apologies for the delay in writing this review, as I had pre-ordered this item and was pleased when it arrived in early March; the day it arrived I immediately cracked it open and nearly read it through!

Mr. Shaffer brings clear, concise, and excellent insight into how to be prepared for the modern world through sound advice based on years of knowledge and experience. His language is easily understood and the ideas eye-opening and simple.

I have, and will continue to recommend this to friends, family members, and peers. It is a great read prior to any trip, for sure, but also just as a reminder of what it takes to be safe. It is also an excellent gift to those near and dear to you! Buy it, read it, and share it -- you will not be disappointed.

You will not find a more well written book filled with knowledge and years of experience from one of the leaders in the security field. What Greg did by sharing all of his life experiences from the Coast Guard through the FBI HRT is insurmountable information. This is absolutely a book that everyone should read and take note! This is a book filled with life-saving tips and a guide to developing awareness of your surroundings and supplying you with information on life saving tips for various situations! Well done Greg! Personally I can’t wait for your next book!

A really good overview and summary of personal security and situational awareness. I read about this topic and the book covers subjects written about in several other books,so, you get the info from those books and authors in one read. Just to be clear. It's a good read.

I found this book while randomly looking at Amazon and I am happy I got it and went through it.

While I am not a bodyguard I found information super useful.

I was always aware of my surroundings and always did many of the things recommended in this book but my biggest takeaway was that surviving is a mindset.

This is a great book! This is such an important topic for today. We truly live with evil all around us, and it is so vital that we become situationally aware. I preach this to my wife all the time... Be Aware To Be Safe! So I greatly recommend this book for everyone... for you and your loved ones. Pass it on because someone you know needs it!

MUST READ! As a veteran, former security officer, executive protection officer, and now the manager of an international anti-terrorism/supply chain security program for a multi-billion dollar company I can tell you this book is amazing and useful for every person. Greg is a subject matter expert and an amazing leader. He absolutely knows the truth when it comes to staying safe!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Mr Shaffer’s intelligent insight is amazing and applicable to our daily life on many levels. This book is an important instrument in our toolbox for safety and I purchased it for all three of my daughters to read as well-

Buy it for yourself and for your family!

A must read for everyone. A very relevant and understandable approach on global security and personal safety... Highly recommended!

This book is not " nice to know" this is a "need to know" literature. Getting prepared without getting paranoid.

The biggest profit of this book is that you're not ordered to change your lifestyle to get safe. You're adviced and given tons of possibilities to improve the way you think and act.

Great one. Thanks a lot. I just need the paperback as well.
