Today’s guest is Shawn Rafferty, and expert on how to help people be more aware of their surroundings and how to prevent themselves from become a victim of violent acts.
In light of recent events where members of the first responder community have been targeted for acts of violence, I thought this would be a great topic to discuss.
However, since it’s not, explicitly, my area of knowledge (personal protection), I brought in the expert.
Shawn Rafferty’s background includes having worked as a:
- U.S. Marine
- Corrections officer
- Police officer
- Force protection officer
- Security consultant
- Protective security specialist
- Martial arts instructor
- Firearms instructor
- Federal agent
Shawn is married with 2 children. Son is 8 years old and daughter is 20 months old. His wife is from Malaysia and is a Major in the active Army National Guard. Currently they reside in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas while his wife attends the Command General Staff College.
