    When navigating through high-risk neighborhoods, encountering individuals who display an unusual level of friendliness should set off your internal alarm. You’re operating in an area where undue kindness often serves as a cloak for malicious intent. Civilians call it a “gut feeling“, we call it “reading the operational environment“.

    Friendliness can be a calculated strategy to lower your guard, making it easier for these individuals to exploit you in various ways — be it robbery, assault, or moving you to a more secluded second location, which drastically increases the risk variables you’ll have to contend with.

    Friendliness should be met with detachment and non-commital responses while you rapidly assess the individual’s intent and the tactical lay of the land. Utilize your training in behavioral pattern recognition to observe for incongruent body language, speech patterns, or any signs that may suggest deceit or a hidden agenda.
