PROJECT UPDATES
What we've been doing, where we've been travelling to, and what's next.
New book release
Another month, another Field Guide:
The Field Guide to Accommodation Security
This field guide is designed to guide you in the selection of secure accommodation during engagements in complex and higher-risk environments.
The guide focuses on the security of hotels, apartments, guesthouses and residences.
You'll learn the advantages and disadvantages of each accommodation option. You'll also learn how to assess the security of your accommodation and the options available to you to augment security and increase the level of protection.
Parts of this field guide are technically orientated and may not be light reading for some. The guide will get into the nuts and bolts of physical security, particularly when it comes to increasing the level of security protection. Starting with hotels, each chapter will go progressively deeper into security design and technology.
Overall, the combined knowledge you’ll gain from learning about the different approaches to securing each type of accommodation will enable you to make effective decisions and implement appropriate security measures regardless of where you’re staying.
Previous book releases
This new Field Guide follows three other books released in the last few months:
1. The Guide to Travelling in Higher-Risk Environments
2. The Field Guide to Deployment Planning
3. The Field Guide to Personal Security
All of the field guides are now available for download as PDF from our website. All books are available on the Apple Bookstore (available in 51 countries). Pricing is the same across all platforms.
Thank you to everyone who purchased a copy of these books last month. I hope you found them interesting and useful.
If you read the books and find any errors or inconsistencies, please let me know and I’ll add it to a backlog for the next review and release. Similarly, if you believe there's something I've missed that you think should be included in these guides, give me a shout by email.
Please help to spread the word
Writing is hard, and knowing that people are buying and reading these books makes it worthwhile. Please help to spread the word.
More to come
The next book in the Field Guide series will be The Field Guide to Transport Security. It's on schedule to be released before the end of October.
The Field Guide to Transport Security will herald the end of the Field Guide series for the moment. Once that guide is published, I'll be focusing on finishing up two other long-standing writing projects: a book on designing and delivering world-class crisis simulations and another book on security evacuations.
