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

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!

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.

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 just finished reading this book and it was a real page turner. I have participated in predeployment training prior to serving in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and elsewhere. The training I had covered situational awareness and a bias for action and during that training topics such as the Gift of Fear and Left of Bang were discussed. In addition we were introduced to Cooper’s Colors, and the OODA loop. This book covers all that and more. I use all of the techniques whether I’m traveling overseas or in my daily routine at home. I will use this book as a reference and review many times I’m sure. Great work!

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.

I believe it is the simplest and straight forward book about real personal protection, the mindset to have for violence, when it is needed, is lacking across the board in every organization of Military, LEO, and EP/security work.I am about to make this book required reading for full time team members.

Stay Safe by Greg Shaffer provides information on valuable survival skills we all must have in our daily lives. When it comes to your own personal safety, your family's safety and safety in the workplace, these survival skills could save your life and the life of others. I have recommended my company obtain a copy for all of our employees.

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.
