I am a 21 year retired law enforcement officer for the city of New York. While in the police department I have been a Field Training Officer for new officers who graduated from the Police Academy. I was also a Counterterrorism Officer (CTO), which entailed keeping a vigilant awareness of any potential terrorist activity at different event assigned to and subway stations. I have numerous trainings from Active Shooter Incidents (during and after action), Dignitary Protection, Numerous Counterterrorism Training, and Conflict Resolution (mental illness).
