"I just want to applaud you for an incredible job creating the empowering program, BULLYGUARD™. As an educator and guidance counselor, it was refreshing to witness a program that offered safe practical strategies that children can embrace and put to use in their daily lives and later on in adulthood to keep them safe!"

- Debbie Brigida, Guidance Counselor - Fort Lee School #2

"Our students embraced Tom Patire and his BULLYGUARD™ Program. They all had fun and learned allot in regards to what to do if approached by a Bully. For kids to get it, they have to like it, and must think it’s ‘cool!’ Well Tom Patire brings the coolness along with a lesson on life skills and convinces the kids through the eyes of a world famous bodyguard that if bully it’s okay to “Just Walk Away!™”

- Janet Carrigan, School 8 - PTO President

"Tom Patire’s KNOW & GO® child safety program provides parents, guardians, caregivers, educators, law enforcement and most importantly, the child, with a host of options to keep them safe. Placing Emphasis on prevention, while fostering confidence in the child as to what to do if someone tries to abduct, kidnap or lure them, is a sure confidence for success. Tom Patire has successfully crossed over the line from a career in executive protection to child protection by providing the child with the same resources he used to train some of the world’s best bodyguards. I have seen the KNOW & GO® skills set and they are not only easy to learn – they work!"
