Speaking / Training

Public safety, self-defense, executive protection, violence prevention, and criminal justice experience behind Terry Hipp’s books.

Before focusing primarily on books, Terry Hipp spent years teaching, consulting, and working in areas connected to public safety, self-defense, executive protection, violence prevention, criminal justice, and institutional decision-making.

That background remains an important part of his work. It gives his nonfiction its practical foundation and gives his fiction a grounded understanding of danger, pressure, human behavior, and consequence.

Contact him privately if you would like to arrange a speaking engagement on any related topics.
