The Only Personal Safety System Built by a Green Beret, SWAT Officer, and Counter-Terrorism Contractor — For People With Real Jobs and Real Families

105 pages. Zero filler. Every page builds capability — not just knowledge.

Watch real incidents through built-in video links. Study what happened. Mentally rehearse your response. Complete the drill. That's how you go from reading about safety to practicing it — without ever leaving your routine.

Digital download — read on any device or print at home.

You have a job, a family, and zero time to become a security expert. You shouldn't need to be one.

But you already feel it — that low-grade unease when you're walking to your car at night, when a stranger lingers too long, when the news hits close to home. A healthcare CEO gunned down on a sidewalk. Random subway attacks. Home invasions that start with a knock.

That feeling isn't paranoia. It's awareness without a plan.

This book is the plan. And it respects your time.

Why 105 Pages Instead of 300

Most personal safety books are 300 pages of war stories with a handful of tips buried in the middle. You finish feeling entertained — but no more capable than when you started.

This guide is 105 pages because every single page earns its place.

No filler. No there I was stories. No padding. You get action items you complete today, drills that fit into your existing routine, and links and QR codes to real-world incident footage — so instead of reading someone else's account, you watch it yourself, study it, and mentally rehearse what you'd do.

The stories are in the videos. The guide is all action.

Why This Exists

I spent 30 years as a Green Beret, SWAT officer, street crimes officer, counter-terrorism contractor, and executive protection agent learning what keeps people alive in the worst situations on earth.

Now I'm a husband and a father. The people who need this knowledge most — busy parents, professionals, everyday people — had no way to access it. The tactical world speaks to operators. The self-defense world sells techniques. Nobody was building a complete system for the person who has 90 minutes a week and a family to protect.

So I compressed everything that actually works into 105 pages of pure capability building. No prior training needed. No gym required. No gear list to buy first.

Where This Guide Fits

This guide is the foundation of the Street S.M.A.A.R.T.S. Pro Certification Course — the same material used in the full video training program at the Threat-Proof Academy.

It stands completely on its own. But paired with the full video certification course, the system becomes something more powerful. The course teaches. The guide directs. Together, they build the kind of practiced, layered capability that lets you and your family prevail — not just survive.

The full certification course and advanced training are available at academy.threatproofcommunity.com

Where This Guide Fits

This guide is the foundation of the Street S.M.A.A.R.T.S. Pro Certification Course — the same material used in the full video training program at the Threat-Proof Academy.

It stands completely on its own. Thousands have used it that way. But paired with the full video certification course, the system becomes something more powerful. The course teaches.

This system builds layered capability:

Mindset drives Awareness, which enables Avoidance. Those three layers prevent most problems before they start.

When avoidance fails — Readiness, Tactics, and Skills catch you. No gaps. No single point of failure. No reliance on physical strength alone.

This is not a collection of strikes and techniques. It's the system that tells you what skills you actually need, how much training is enough, and exactly when each response fits.

The 1% Promise: Invest 1% of your week — about 90 minutes — and be 100% safer. Often, a single 60-second lesson eliminates the threat entirely. The OTEs require zero additional time — they turn things you already do into training reps.

What Makes This Different

Other books give you 300 pages and leave you with a few memorable quotes. This guide gives you 105 pages and a system you've already started using.

  • Where other books tell stories — this guide links you directly to the footage

  • Where other books suggest ideas — this guide assigns tasks you complete that day

  • Where other books require extra training time — this guide builds exercises into your existing routine

  • Where other books end when you close them — this guide connects to real-world video that turns every chapter into a living lesson

No other personal safety book does this.

Who This Is For

This is for you if:

  • You take your family's safety seriously but don't have time to waste

  • You've felt that gut feeling and didn't know what to do next

  • You want a system, not random advice

  • You're a parent, professional, or student who wants real capability

  • You believe you are your family's first responder

This is NOT for you if:

  • You're looking for a war memoir

  • You want a technique manual

  • You think 911 will always arrive in time
