"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing." -Helen KellerDanger is around us all the time. If we feel secure it is because we have chosen to ignore the threat or we feel we have taken steps to reduce the threat. Everything we do, however, is merely a deterrent. There are no guarantees. Threat is always present. It is simply a matter of degree. Threats come in many forms and they all eat away at our fundamental sense of security. Personal and professional security focuses on awareness and preparation. Knowledge is power. Those who are aware and prepared are far more likely to survive sudden, unexpected threats. Luck as they say, is when preparation meets opportunity.What does it take to be a prepared security professional? The terrorist attacks on United States soil on September 11, 2001 illustrate how crucial it is that security be prepared and effective. Those attacks happened because we let our guard down, and the ripple effects have altered our society forever. How great a price must we pay in terms of reduced civil liberties to feel safe now? Such questions may be difficult to define but the fundamental duties and responsibilities of security officers are not. If we expect to overcome threats we must all be on the same page. That is why this book is an important tool in societys ongoing mission to raise the bar in the security profession. Preparation requires training and the journey begins here. -Michael James Jaquish
