Читать книгу Transnational Organized Crime and Gangs - Robert M. Brzenchek - Страница 3

As the CEO of SERAPH (https://www.seraphproblemsolving.com/school-gangs) for the past fifteen years, I have provided the risk management, security management training, and security system redesign for the House of Blues/Live Nation Corporation, SBE Entertainment Group, Lucky Strike Entertainment, the Gaylord Hotel chain, and The Oncenter–Pirro Convention Center. I am also currently a federal law enforcement instructor and SME for the HIDTA High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas and MAGLOCLEN Middle Atlantic–Great Lakes Organized Crime Law Enforcement Network programs. Since 1995, I have trained over 100,000 local, state, and federal law enforcement officers.

I have also been a frequent expert with media outlets, including a featured episode of Forensic Files (“Bump and Run,” Season 3, Episode 21 [2002]) and a new History Channel series entitled True Monsters. In 2002, I was given a presidential appointment to the U.S. Selective Service system, and in 2004, I became a member of the FBI’s InfraGard program.

Through my firm SERAPH, and my education team, we have provided school safety training and consulting to more than thirty thousand schools in the United States. Beginning in the year 2000, Congress tasked SERAPH with providing a “State of School Safety in America” report to them every two years. To date, SERAPH has provided three reports to members of Congress, specifically the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Robert Brzenchek is a board member of SERAPH and is a vital part of SERAPH, especially within our School Gangs Prevention and Resolution Program. Mr. Brzenchek’s career as a law enforcement officer, a military member in the intelligence community, an emergency management specialist at both the state and federal levels, a UAV instructor, and a higher education administrator affords him a unique perspective in the development of policy and procedure. In the public sector, Mr. Brzenchek worked with dozens of national agencies, governments, and international organizations in the use of advanced technologies and information sharing. In the private sector, Mr. Brzenchek has worked with organizations as diverse as DHS, DOD, major corporations, ports, and public utilities on security matters, risk management, policy, and technologies. There are very few individuals in the United States who can conduct the ISO 27k risk assessments that Mr. Brzenchek has performed. His diversity and subject matter expertise afford him the ability to offer insight such as a gang situational awareness presentation to International Fellows at the National Defense University in Washington, DC. In addition, Mr. Brzenchek provided a crucial briefing on Social and Cultural Awareness (Gangs) for the Marines 3D Civil Affairs Group at Naval Station Great Lakes, Illinois. I had the privilege of offering my perspective on gangs in his last published book entitled The Gang Life: Laugh Now, Cry Later: Suppression and Prevention published by CRC Press Taylor and Francis. We both value InfraGard; he currently serves as a board member for the South Florida Chapter of InfraGard, and we look forward to sharing this book with its membership. This book, I envision, will become a vital resource for academics, practitioners, and policymakers alike. Robert has a unique perspective that will be displayed herein.
