Scotti Security Driver Alumni Association
We have trained countless security drivers over last 35 years. In fact if it wasn’t for them there would not have been 35 years! Which leads me to the following, and by the way the following comes under the heading of “Why didn’t I think of this sooner.” Over the next few months we will be creating a Scotti Security Driver Alumni Association. The association will be opened to graduates of the Protective Driving Program. Read more on the Alumni Association...
What is a Scotti Certified Driving Instructor
Throughout the many years of conducting training programs we have establish a method of instruction for lack of a better phrase called the “Scotti Method." It is in reality not my method; it is a scientific and objective approach to driver training. The foundation of the “Scotti Method” is the laws of physics, so all the credit goes to Sir Isaac Newton.

NEW BOOKS

Just Two SecondsJUST TWO SECONDS
A couple of month’s back I got an advance copy of the book written by Gavin DeBecker, Tom Taylor, and Jeff Marquart. Gavin’s other book “The Gift of Fear”, has become a classic in the industry, if you have not read the book you should. In my opinion “Just Two Seconds” will follow Gift of Fear and become a must read for anyone in the industry. There is no other book to compare it too. In fact who should read this book are the people who are being protected.

If you have to make a presentation to someone who has asked the question “Why do I need personal protection” this book is invaluable. It has more than 1400 case studies of attacks on public figures ranging from entertainers to world leaders.
