The Myth of the "Safe Place" with David Lashley

Eyes Wide Open: Staying Safe in "Safe" Places with David Lashley

 

Andy Murphy hosts the Secure Family Podcast and interviews David Lashley, a courthouse law enforcement professional and Director of Courthouse Security with 25+ years protecting judges, juries, and victims. 

 

David explains how "safe places" like courthouses, restaurants, churches, and schools can become dangerous when people grow comfortable and complacent, especially in familiar environments or when distracted by phones.
