As requested by the FBI, I delivered a presentation titled “The FBI: Honor, Leadership, Protecting America” on May 28 for its New York Field Office leadership development series.
This is a follow-up to numerous presentations for the bureau highlighting leadership, vigilance, and collaboration between law enforcement, private security, and all law-abiding people as critical to America’s security.
Safeguarding our homeland and protecting the nation are the responsibilities of everyone. Each person has a role to play and must have their eyes wide open to dangers that threaten freedom, democracy, and our way of life.
The world is a much different place since the tragedy of 9/11. The order of the day is an abundance of caution and a clarion call to do something immediately if we suspect something.
America’s security and morale can change in a heartbeat but terrorism is preventable.
America’s Head-On Collision
During this FBI presentation, I used my signature metaphor of a head-on train collision causing catastrophic chaos, painting the picture of America’s crisis of leadership and culture of violence.
