Secure Living
A Consultant’s Guide to Home Protection
by Daniel J. Conidi, Esquire · Mid-Atlantic Law Press · Available in English
Professional-Grade Home Security Knowledge — For Every Household
Most homeowners don’t think seriously about security until something goes wrong. By then, the vulnerabilities have already been exploited. The gap between what people think protects them and what actually does is where crime lives — and closing that gap requires professional-level knowledge most people never have access to.
Daniel J. Conidi, Esquire is uniquely positioned to deliver that knowledge. With 26 years as a Senior Special Agent with the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Department of Homeland Security, 14 years in private legal practice, and decades of hands-on experience as a licensed security contractor, licensed private detective, and certified firearms trainer, he has spent his career protecting people and property at every level — from federal law enforcement to private residential security consulting.
As Director of the Mid-Atlantic Law Project and owner of ASI Security Services, Inc., Mr. Conidi brings both the operational expertise and the legal framework that make this book unlike anything else available. Secure Living is not a checklist. It is a comprehensive consultant’s guide — written for the homeowner who wants to think about security the way a professional does.
Four decades protecting people. One book. Your home — secured like a professional did it.
