That&rsquo;s how Greater Philadelphia Area <a href="http://signal88.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=signal-88-security-franchisee-highlights-the-brands-unique-approach-to-keeping-communities-safe-in-published-book-11409" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Signal 88</a> business owner Salvatore (Sal) DeRose found his way to the brand. In what seems like a somewhat random career path, DeRose would tell you that every step he&rsquo;s taken has led him to exactly where he needs to be. From his military service to running his own IT company, DeRose&rsquo;s most exciting venture yet has been with his Signal 88 business, and the book he co-authored in late 2016.

&quot;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Safety-Security-Peace-Mind-Keeping/dp/0998359602?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=signal-88-security-franchisee-highlights-the-brands-unique-approach-to-keeping-communities-safe-in-published-book-11409" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Safety, Security, and Peace of Mind: Keeping People Safe Where They Live (Volume 1)</a>,&quot; written by DeRose and edited by Stephanie J. Beavers, serves as an extensive guide for security in a number of situations, like college and university residence halls, apartment complexes and senior care facilities.

For DeRose, creating and sharing a digestible piece of literature that could explain why security is important&mdash;along with the best ways to implement it&mdash;felt like the opportunity to share the genius behind Signal 88&rsquo;s groundbreaking security system. To prep for writing the book, DeRose poured over security books, interviewed other Signal 88 business owners and scoured the FBI&rsquo;s website for any useful information.

&ldquo;The truth is, the Signal 88 system for security is simply more effective than traditional security,&rdquo; says DeRose. &ldquo;Whereas most security companies have someone sit still in a little booth at the edge of a community, Signal 88 has trained security guards patrol an entire area so that they can actually keep an eye on what&rsquo;s going on. I want more property managers to learn about the benefits of using a patrol-driven security company. That&rsquo;s the main reason why I wrote this book.&rdquo;

While authoring a book with no previous writing experience might seem like an unapproachable challenge for most, DeRose has a history of taking calculated risks. And that kind of risk taking is exactly what has accelerated his career.

After earning a business degree with a concentration in accounting and a master&rsquo;s in project management from Temple University, DeRose enlisted in the Army, starting as a Private and eventually becoming a medic stationed out of Madigan Army Medical Center. Once he finished his service, he became a CPA, which is how he surprisingly became interested in security. As a CPA, and eventually through running his own IT company, DeRose had to ensure his client&rsquo;s systems for storing financial and sensitive information was completely secure.

&ldquo;Security has always been part of what I&rsquo;ve done, whether it has been in finance or IT,&rdquo; says DeRose. &ldquo;Eventually, I sold my IT company and became the vice president of finance for an educational staffing company, Source4Teachers, for about a year, but really came to realize that at the end of the day, I want to be my own boss. So when I found Signal 88, I knew it was a good fit for me.&rdquo;

DeRose&#39;s&nbsp;book title ends with the words &ldquo;Volume 1,&rdquo; signaling that DeRose is planning to write more. For him, it&rsquo;s all about getting the right information to the right people, and showing his potential clients that Signal 88 is truly the expert amongst the security companies out there.

DeRose&rsquo;s book is currently available on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Safety-Security-Peace-Mind-Keeping/dp/0998359602?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=signal-88-security-franchisee-highlights-the-brands-unique-approach-to-keeping-communities-safe-in-published-book-11409" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Amazon</a>, both in paperback or on Kindle.&nbsp;
