New Book Seconds to Survive Offers Practical Strategies for Safe Police Encounters
Buffalo, United States, 14th Jul 2026 – Retired Navy Chief Petty Officer and former Virginia State Trooper Corey V. Taylor Sr. has released his new book, Seconds to Survive. It is a practical guide aimed at reducing fear and saving lives during police encounters.
Every day, more than 50,000 traffic stops take place across the United States. While many remain routine, some escalate into dangerous situations, particularly within communities of color. With decades of experience in both military service and law enforcement, Taylor witnessed firsthand how quickly these encounters can change. Determined to provide a solution, he developed the C.A.L.M. method: Comply, Answer, Listen, Move On. It is a step-by-step framework designed to help citizens manage police stops with clarity and safety.
Seconds to Survive outlines each stage of the C.A.L.M. strategy and shows readers how to remain calm in traffic and avoid actions that could be misinterpreted as threats. The book talks about real-life incidents and legal context to highlight both the risks and the strategies that can prevent escalation.
The book emphasizes visibility, communication, and de-escalation. These are the critical components of police officer safety and citizen safety alike. By teaching readers the best safety tips for traffic stops, Taylor hopes to reduce tragedies and empower individuals with knowledge.
Seconds to Survive is both a personal safety resource and a broader educational tool. Taylor encourages educators, community leaders, and families to use it for conversations about public safety.
