Synopsis

A childs smile represents the joy of learn­ing from the world around them and the endless opportunities the future holds. I see a future of unlimited potential and many opportunities to spread their wings and change the world. In this fast paced and unpredictable world, protect­ing that smile is a responsibility that cannot be taken lightly. A parent, grandparent, Godparent, aunt or uncle, or any responsible child caregiver must understand the inherent risks that are pres­ent in our everyday routines. Being a parent of two high energy boys myself, I know and un­derstand how busy these everyday routines can be. But I also know that parents will do anything for their children and make protecting them the highest priority in their life. I applaud parents and caregivers for their dedication and commit­ment in dealing with the daily grind that being responsible for a child demands and I offer this book to assist them. In this book, I use scenarios (based on real life incidences) to describe everyday threats and to identify proactive steps for families that will mitigate the risk of violence and crime against family members. I firmly believe if you are aware of your surroundings and follow basic principles and methods, you can deter criminals from invading your personal life. I want all parents to think proactively about their family security and to be aware of things that just don t look right. I want parents to teach their children how to be aware of their sur­roundings and what to look out for. Because at the end of the day when you have time to reflect about life, each one of us understands that our highest priority is to our children and our most important mission is Securing Smiles.

About the Author

Throughout my career, I have worked in many diverse and challenging environments. From 2000-2002 as a Military Police Officer, I was the commander of a 180 soldier Military Po­lice Company. During that time, America was hit by the worst terrorist attack on American soil on September 11, 2001. My Company was re­sponsible for the physical security of a major air­port in the Midwest and continued to prepare for follow-up missions in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. From 2002-2004, I was an anti-terror­ism and urban combat instructor for the Army. I trained over 30,000 soldiers deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan. In the Department of Justice, I spent 10 years working for the Federal Bureau of Prisons. I be­gan as a Correctional Officer at the Federal Cor­rectional Institution in Phoenix, Arizona. My last po­sition with the Federal Bureau of Prisons was in Inmate Systems Management, where I was responsible for processing inmates, transporting inmates. During my career with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, I was also on a Special Operations Response Team, which re­sponded to emergencies within the prison such as riots, inmate cell extractions, drug raids, gang investigations and hostage rescues and was a Hostage Negotiator. In Corporate America, I was a Security Intelligence Manager responsible for gathering and analyzing intelligence, identifying risks and implementing security measures to make people safer and teaching personal and international se­curity to the employees. My experience has given me a better un­derstanding of everyday risks that indi­vidual face. I know how important it is to teach people the basics about security. I want to use what I have learned to help families build a stronger family security plan to fit their busy life­styles. I want to assist in keeping families safe
