What's inside
Four tools, one card
- 01
Read the signs
Eight warning signs police are trained to watch for, the tells of a hidden weapon, and seven signs a stranger is working you.
- 02
In-between spaces
A fighter pilot's four-step loop for parking lots, plus checklists for parking lots, ATMs and being followed.
- 03
Talk it down
What to say to cool someone off, what to do with your body, and the one line never to say.
- 04
Lock it down
A home check built on FBI burglary data and a survey of 422 convicted burglars.
It ends with a pocket card: the whole guide in ten lines.
Where it comes from
FBI crime data, police department safety advice, AAA, crisis-prevention training, and a 2012 University of North Carolina at Charlotte survey of burglars. Each page lists its sources, and the last page has the full list.
For general awareness only. Not legal advice, police training or a self-defense course.
