Welcome to my world ...
Marian Hoy, Author
... of identifying and challenging threats who assault and murder us!
For years, I researched solutions to prevent threats from terrorizing innocent targets with intellectual, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, as well as murder. Finally, I discovered viable procedures that can assist in countering the threats we live with, as well as those strangers who seek us out. I worked in law enforcement for 53 years. I served ten years as a patrol officer, then trained police and advanced investigators for 43 years. I survived a sexual assault from an unknown threat, and barely avoided a date rape situation that was perpetrated by a brother officer. I worked numerous cases of murder, sexual assault, abuse and missing persons. I also founded and managed the first woman-owned training facility approved to train police personnel in the United States.
