H ow Observant Are You?

Just how observant are you? This can be a critical question because those persons who are planning to attack or follow you often spend some time watching -- either as they pass you on sidewalk or roadway or as you leave your home or place of business.

And the thing is that if the people we teach as prospective security guards in the school where I am an instructor is any indication -- most people go about most of their daily like zombies.

In class after class after we reach the half way mark of the week long class I can ask the class to describe the entrance stairway to me and most of the students do not have a clue about what the interior of the building outside the classroom look like.

It can be a source of laughs as student after student fumbles around trying to remember what his or her surroundings like like. But in view of the fact that there seems to he an increasing number of persons disappearing or being attacked in some way it not something to take lightly.

Without becoming paranoid about the matter and thinking that everyone who looks at you out of the corner of their is about to attack or stalk you should become more aware of your location and surroundings so you do not stumble into either man-made or natural hazards. We will be talking more about this later.
