Default Off-duty safety: 5 tips to protect yourself and your family

I wanted to share this article that I wrote for PoliceOne. You have to be verified LE to read it.

https://www.policeone.com/off-duty/a...d-your-family/

Excerpts:
  • In Season 4, episode 3 of “Blue Bloods,” we learn the entire Reagan clan has a code phrase that means “hit the deck,” and everyone from the oldest to the youngest knows what to do. Have you and your family trained for the day when you are overtly attacked or ambushed? How often do you practice the drill?
  • Have you talked with your family about how they can hone their Spidey senses? One of my favorite books is “The Gift of Fear: Survival Signals That Protect Us from Violence.”
  • If you’re out with a group of officers, maybe you should put the best shooters against the wall where they can keep an eye on the room.
  • If things go from bad to worse and you have to engage, does your family know to move to safety immediately then call 911 and calmly but quickly state you are LEO then describe your appearance, your location and your firearm?
