The book emerged out of the experience of a veteran police officer, turned security manager. It is a simple, easy-to-read security guide for families that is not aimed at selling expensive security systems. It covers everyday topics that will help families be safer in their neighborhoods and the book contains helpful ideas that people can implement without spending money.

My book fills a niche that seems unexplored by many in the security industry as it covers everyday topics such as inexpensive door hardware upgrades, coupled with strategies such as opening the front door safely. There is home emergency planning, fire safety; first aid and baby-sitting topics; how to prepare your home for vacation departures; walking through parking garages; internet safety; major storm preparation and emergency preparedness amongst other security topics of interest aimed at the daily safety and security of parents and children.

This lower-priced security guide is intended to be affordable for the average family and it contains relevant information for all demographics, just about anywhere.
