In the words of the writer Think Safe is a book filled with 'practical
measures to increase security at home, at work and throughout life.' Think
Safe is a work of 19 chapters covering a wide variety of topics including:
'Section 1 - 6 chapter' filled with Safety Precautions for Parents, 'Section
2 - 3 chapters' offering Safety Precautions for Women, 'Section 3 - 2
chapters' Safety Precautions for the Elderly, 'Section 4 - 2 chapters'
Safety Precautions at Work, 'Section 5 - 2 chapters' dealing with Consumer
Fraud Prevention, 'Section 6 - 3 chapters' filled with information
pertaining to General Safety Precautions, 'Section 7 - 1 chapter' Protecting
the Home. The book includes a residential survey for reader use to assess
their own home security, or lack thereof.

I found Chapter 4: offering informative guides for parents and baby sitters,
Chapter 11 filled with Financial and Fiduciary Abuse information: covering
topics including Pigeon Drops, Bank Examiner Fraud, Home Repair Fraud,
Caregiver Theft, Internet Fraud and Ponzi/Pyramid Schemes as well as Chapter
19 filled with methods for protecting the Home to be of particular interest
and value. As a woman I will re read Section 2 many times. And Section 5
dealing with Consumer Fraud Prevention is going to be another section I
visit often. As I age; Section 3 dealing with Safety Precautions for the
Elderly will become more important to me.

Author McGrew comes with impressive credentials. He served as a law
enforcement officer and is the president and CEO of an investigative and
security consulting firm located in San Jose, as well as having over 30
years experience in planning, implementing and managing security programs in
private and public sectors. Writer McGrew who earned a Masers degree in
Administration of Justice from San Jose is a Certified Protection
Professional, Certified Fraud examiner and a licensed Private Investigator.

Think Safe is not a story book, it is rather a jam packed work devoted to
guiding the reader toward protecting themselves in all aspects of life
whether as new parents, middle aged to elderly, on the job, or gender
related. There truly is something for everyone in this jam packed work.
McGrew offers statistics, helpful hints and plain common sense presented in
easily understood language without sounding overly professorial or scare
mongering.

This is not a book meant for pleasure reading, but is meant to aid the
reader into a safer, more productive way of life.

I found much of value in the read, and am happy to recommend. This is one
book that I will be keeping for my own personal library.
