Your Awareness Play Book

For developing your self protection “game plan”, you need to start with an awareness “play book”.

The majority of criminal assaults can be considered “ambush attacks”.

This means that you need to be aware of places in which you may be subject to what “task fixation” (hat tip to SouthNarc) or “condition brown” (hat tip to Gabe Suarez).

Make sure you understand the concept of “slicing the pie”. Google/Startpage/DuckDuckGo search the phrase slicing the pie tactical and you will find good information to help you out.

Also be sure to Google search for the term “pre-incident indicators” you may also add “law enforcement” to what you type in when you search.
