Don't Be a Victim - FlyingSolo

Today, we have reason to be concerned about our safety and the well-being of our loved ones. Read the newspaper, listen to the radio, or watch television. With a major crime committed every 2 seconds, we must be more aware of our surroundings and plan our comings and goings in order to try to avoid situations which might put us -- and our families -- at risk.

According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reports.....

There's a violent crime every 17 seconds; a reported forcible rape every five minutes; a murder every 21 minutes; a burglary every 10 seconds; a car theft every 19 seconds.

Hundreds of millions of Americans face the ever increasing danger of violent crime – including increased incidents of domestic violence.

LAW ENFORCEMENT RECOMMENDS THESE PROGRAMS

For more than 23 years, Sheriff James R. Metts has been the chief law enforcement officer of Lexington County South Carolina. When Metts was elected in 1972, he was the youngest sheriff in the United States. Today at 50, he is the only Sheriff in the United States with an earned doctoral degree. Sheriff Metts led the largest manhunt in the history of the state. Following successful investigation and prosecution, the convicted kidnapper-killer is on death row. This infamous case resulted in the top-rated CBS made-for-television movie, "Nightmare In Columbia County."

Here’s what Sheriff Metts says about Don't Be A Victim Programs:

"How many times have you worried about your husband, your wife, and your children when they were late coming home? With escalating crime, you have good reason to be concerned. But that's only part of the problem. Arrested and convicted criminals are back on the street too soon. Jails are overcrowded and the system is full of loopholes. The problems I see in my county are the same problems good families face across the nation.

After the crime, it's easy to tell a surviving victim what they should have done. But for those who do not survive there's no way to explain to their families why the system failed. It's very difficult to teach citizens how best to avoid becoming a victim of crime.

So impressed was I with Don't Be A Victim! programs that my department bought them in bulk to give away to the citizens of my county. There are not enough police to guarantee everyone's personal safety. For that reason, I believe informed citizens must learn to help themselves avoid becoming a victim of crime. As a Sheriff, I know the bottom line is to avoid becoming a victim.

The video Rape Is Not An OptionŽ is the best rape avoidance program I have seen, and I have recommended endorsement of this program to progressive law enforcement agencies."

Each Don't Be A Victim! audio program is $6.70 including shipping and handling. The video is $26.45 including shipping and handling. And you can order over Flying Solo’s secure server by using your American Express, VISA, MasterCard, or Discover Card.
