Today we're talking to Jake, the International Security Specialist Guy… which may or may not be his real name. Jake has 25 years experience in law enforcement as an American cop; now he lives in Thailand and trains people who are traveling internationally into high threat environments. Jake trains them and helps to manage crises while they're in-country, assisting them with any kind of emergency that would cause them to be ejected from that nation, from war to crime to earthquakes and other natural disasters.

Traveling internationally might be the only time that many American police officers are unarmed. They carry a gun and knife on duty and off duty but not while traveling to foreign countries, which can leave you feeling pretty exposed. Jake is going to talk to us about how not to get kidnapped while traveling in a foreign country. He's going to cover all kinds of scenarios including carjacking, pickpockets, and dealing with scams while traveling.
