Questions to be addressed on the show:

• I understand that large Palm Beach estates have been the targets of professional burglars.  How do professional burglars get into these large estates without detection?
• I don’t have a large estate & tons of money.  What can I do to protect my home?
• What about Firearms?  Should  I have one in my home?   How about a Taser?
• What can I do to protect myself when I go out for dinner or maybe out to a movie?
• You were in SWAT for over twenty years.  What were the most dangerous types of situations that you had to deal with?
• I see that you are a Taser Instructor.  Did you ever use it in Police work?  Do Tasers really kill people like the news often reports?
• When you retired from Police work, you went into private security consulting for some very wealthy clients.  What is that like?  What kind of work do you do?
• When you are protecting a dignitary or executive, what kind of things do you watch out for?
• What can I do when I am traveling in another part of the world to protect myself?
• What do you think about the Pirate attacks in Somalia?  What do you think we should do about it?
