Product Description
Everything you need to know to protect yourself and your family--from dead-bolting your door to air travel safety.

Now more than ever, Americans are aware of threats to their personal safety and are searching for ways to protect themselves and their loved ones. Newly updated since the events of September 11 with important information on mail contamination and travel security, The Complete Guide to Personal and Home Safety is the most comprehensive guide on personal and home security available. Captain Snow, a seasoned police officer, guides readers in developing their own safety plans--from how to choose a home alarm system to what to do in the case of a missing person. Covering everything from the most common crimes of larceny and traffic accidents to the unlikely but frightening possibilities of hostage situations and assault, The Complete Guide to Personal and Home Safety offers readers the knowledge and strategies they need to handle any situation that may arise.

About the Author
Captain Robert L. Snow is head of the Homicide Branch of the Indianapolis Police Department and the author of Stopping a Stalker, Family Abuse, and SWAT Teams. He lives in Indianapolis with his wife, Melanie, a narcotics detective.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource, December 11, 2008
By MMay (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
I'm really glad I bought this book, and will be buying a few more copies to give as gifts to my friends. The book is easy to read, cover-to-cover, and provides tons of credible statistics to support the advice.
