Situational Awareness

A skill that will help save your life. What is it? Simply put understanding your surroundings in current time. This understanding is developed via the basic senses and deduction. Let me explain, you walk into a store and see black smoke and smell burning stuff. You do not enter the building because you have made the deduction its on fire and it could hurt you. However in this new example your inside the building and see smoke and smell burning stuff but you don't  know the location of a nearest exit or a fire extinguisher. Being situational aware will help you get out of danger. In a new places look for the exits, security call boxes, alarms, safe rooms and your current address for 911. These are just a few examples. With a little more research you will be able to make your own list and every place you go practice this and it will become second nature. There are tons of books and free articles on this important topic. Be Safe and Aware

Romance / Dating Scams are Big Business

Romance scammers take advantage of all age groups however the older demographic seems to be the most lucrative for this type of scam. These criminals post fake online profiles and worm their way into a person’s online world preying on the victims trusting good nature. Often these victims are lonely and isolated with little or no family safety net. The victims often because of embarrassment hardly ever call their family or the authorities to report the crime. This failure to bring the crime to light could lead to further victimization.  

Here are a few tips.

1. Never give out banking information over the phone or electronically without proper verification.

2. Scammers will advise they need a loan for some sort of economic emergency that cannot be verified. 

3. Scammers will pitch a deal of a lifetime and advise their money is tied up with no access.

4. Trust your gut if it sounds to good to be true or smells fishy don’t do it and get a second opinion.

Human Trafficking

Sexual Trafficking is a term that has been receiving alot of media attention because of the Epstein arrest. The state of Florida has a criminal statute 787.06 that covers human trafficking. Allow me to quote the first paragraph.

" The Legislature finds human trafficking is a form of modern day slavery. Victims off human trafficking are young childeren, teenagers, and adults. Thousands of victims are trafficked annually across international borders, worldwide. Many of these victims are trafficked into this state. Victims of human trafficking also include citizens of the United States and those persons trafficked domestically within the borders of the United States. The Legislature finds that victims of human trafficking are subjected to force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of sexual exploitation or forced labor" This is a serious HUMAN issue. If you suspect human trafficking please contact local law enforcement. Be Safe
