HAVING A CONTINCENCY PLAN WHEN LEAVING A SECURE SETTING, IMPROVESS OUTCOME IN A DANGEROUS SETTING
Edited By Willage, Marc B.
On November 21, 2024, Joe Rosner presented a program to our club packed with information on protecting yourself against a physical attack from an assailant. He has worked in a variety of settings prior to this current career as a consultant in personal safety, such as a private investigator.He described that one should strive to maintain realistic confidence, as well as to decrease fear.
Several of his points, for consideration, include:
Upon going outside, one should look all around. The bad guys try to appear as the good guys. Have a contingency plan. A spike in adrenaline, among other things, decreases peripheral vision, as well as coordination of fine motor skills.
A STRONG (consult with law-enforcement for recommendation) pepper spray, is much more effective than mace or teargas. When being grabbed, plant 1 foot on the ground and stomp the assailants foot as close to the ankle as possible.
Yell: “FIRE!” — O R — “HELP! I AM BEING ATTACKED! CALL 911!”
Run in a “zigzag“ path.
Do not let yourself be taken to a secondary crime situation; and your chances of survival plummet.
Tell the 911 person that in “ ASSAULT IN PROGRES! HELP!”
