Yet the people who consistently stay safe aren’t superheroes; they’re ordinary individuals who’ve learned to notice early warning signs, trust their instincts, and take simple, proactive steps before trouble starts. Today’s guest, Jerry McCormick, Marine Corps veteran, retired police captain, workplace safety expert, and author of Why Some People Don’t Become Victims: What 10,000 Police Officers Reveal About Workplace Violence and Practical Prevention, is here to change how we think about personal and workplace safety. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Jerry shares what he learned from interviewing more than 10,000 police officers worldwide about why they rarely become victims of crime off duty, despite constantly being around danger. Instead of teaching fantasy heroics or fear-based “what if” scenarios, Jerry focuses on plain-language, practical safety habits that anyone can use at work, at home, and in public. He explains why most companies don’t actually need “active shooter training” (which is designed for first responders), and why a holistic, everyday safety approach is far more effective and relevant. Jerry breaks down simple, high-impact actions, like knowing how to lock doors, use the office PA system, run basic lockdown and evacuation drills, and recognize when a situation is starting to turn bad so you can quietly leave before trouble starts. He also talks about the psychology of fear, how it hijacks your body in a crisis, and why rehearsed, step-by-step procedures help you act calmly when it matters most.
