FROM THE BACK COVER:
Despite the technological advances, improved policing and security methods, and attempts to create safety through policy and legislation, the world is filled with danger and dangerous people. The choice to ignore these dangers or place misguided faith in a promised utopia puts you at greater risk. Your need to pay attention to your surroundings and use common sense/critical thinking skills has never diminished. It will be even more important as American society grows more polarized.
Using his insightful and easy-to-understand "S" word alliteration conceptual method and expounding upon the topic first introduced in Gray Man: Camouflage for Crowds, Cities, and Civil Crisis, Matthew Dermody breaks down the important elements of threat identification and response necessary for personal safety.
SITUATIONAL SENSE is the perfect primer for travelers, college students, or anyone else wanting to identify threats before the need for assistance becomes a life or death situation. While threats can manifest with several uncertain or unpredictable variables, this book will help you identify conditions and scenarios in order to avoid many life-threatening encounters.

REVIEWS:
"It's very hard to find resources and trainings focused on situational awareness that can be applied to everyday life. Mr. Dermody nailed it with this book. "The first thing making survival possible is knowledge, followed closely by having access and use of tools."
The book is filled with knowledge that anyone can learn and apply to their daily habits to keep themselves and their loved one safer. Like he points out as the first "gritty, undeniable FACT about self-defense-YOU are ultimately responsible for your safety." Get two copies. One for yourself, and one to give to someone you care about. Personal safety is that important." - Kelly Sayre, owner and instructor, The Diamond Arrow Group |
