Everybody enters facilities through parking lots or parking garages, but these areas are often an afterthought for security, says lawyer Michael Haggard. But considering crimes of opportunity as well as liability issues, that uneven focus can be costly for organizations and commercial property owners. Also in this episode of SM Highlights, Eddie Sorrells, CPP, PCI, PSP, president of DSI Security Services and vice-president of ASIS International, digs into the who, what, when, where, and—most importantly—the why behind security incident reports.

Gary shares his wisdom on trends in risk, what RIMS is promoting in legislation, and how RIMS is growing in influence. Gary introduces the joint production of the Associations' Guide to Risk and Crisis Management toolkit which he coauthored and how it came to be. There is much more to learn from this spectacular 300th episode, so listen in. Key Takeaways: [:01] About RIMS. [:15] About this special episode, Number 300, of RIMScast, coming to you from RIMS Headquarters in New York, featuring RIMS CEO Gary Labranche and a special guest from HUB. [:36] First, let's talk about RIMS Virtual Workshops. The full calendar of virtual workshops is at RIMS.org/VirtualWorkshops. August 15th starts the three-part series, Leveraging Data and Analytics for Continuous Risk Management. Other dates for the Fall and Winter are available on the Virtual Workshops full calendar at RIMS.org/VirtualWorkshops. [1:00] Let's talk about prep courses for the RIMS-CRMP. On September 10th and 11th, the RIMS-CRMP Exam Prep will be held with NAIT. There is another RIMS-CRMP Exam Prep on September 12th and 13th. [1:14] The next RIMS-CRMP-FED Exam Prep course will be hosted along with George Mason University on December 3rd through 5th, 2024. Links to these courses can be found on the Certification Page of RIMS.org and in this episode's show notes. [1:29] We've got the DFW RIMS 2024 Fall Conference and Spa Event happening on September 19th in Irving, Texas. We learned all about it in Episode 299. Be sure to check it out! [1:47] Registration opened for the RIMS Canada Conference 2024 which will be held from October 6th through the 9th in Vancouver. Visit RIMSCanadaConference.ca to register. [1:59] We want you to join us in Boston on November 18th and 19th for the RIMS ERM Conference 2024. The agenda is live. The keynote will be announced soon. We want to see you there!

If you or someone you know manages an ERM program that delivers the goods, we want to hear about it. All RIMS regional conference information can be found on the Events page at RIMS.org. [2:49] I'm so excited to share this special 300th episode of RIMScast with you all. There's no better guest for me to bring out than RIMS CEO Gary Labranche! He's a busy man. It's very difficult to book an interview with Gary. It's been about seven months and we finally got him! [3:11] We're going to talk about the trends impacting the risk profession, from active shooter preparedness and flood insurance to third-party litigation funding. We're also going to talk about all the different ways in which RIMS is expanding and partnering with other organizations. We are delighted to share this special 300th episode with you all! [3:39] RIMS CEO Gary Labranche, welcome back to RIMScast! [4:00] Gary says it's great to be back and congratulates Justin on 300 episodes of RIMScast. Gary talks about the effort that goes into each episode of the podcast. Justin notes there have been almost 175,000 unique downloads of the 300 episodes. [5:21] Justin thanks Gary for the kind words. Justin says the podcast is the most rewarding thing he has ever done. It changed the trajectory of his career, it has provided wonderful opportunities and it's a great way for Justin to keep in touch with RIMS members and other risk professionals who have an interest in the podcast. He's always loved it. [5:47] The advice Justin got when launching the podcast was to stick to a frequency. With a very minor exception over the past six years, Justin has stuck to a weekly episode. That, and the support of the RIMScast audience, RIMS leadership, and the many sponsors over the years, have contributed to the success of the podcast. Last week was the first sponsored episode. [6:25] The sponsor, Hillwood, will sponsor another episode in September when Justin is on-site at the DFW RIMS 2024 Fall Conference and Spa Event. [6:38] Gary attributes the success of RIMScast to perseverance, good quality, and great, diverse content with lots of different voices. That's what people appreciate the most. Gary loves it because it shows the scope, breadth, depth, and variations of the global community, with guests from all over the world. [7:07] Having guests from many nations and areas of practice is one of Justin's favorite aspects of the show. [7:42] Gary shares an overview of RIMS since January 2024 when he was last on the show. I February Gary went to Australia to visit with the chapter board there. From there he flew to New Zealand and attended the New Zealand and Pacific Island Chapter's Embrace the Unknown event. Gary recommends visiting both nations. [8:59] Next, Gary went to Singapore and hosted the first RIMS-CRMP Networking Reception in Singapore. It was a good crowd and the first time most of them had met each other. Gary visited two universities that support the RIMS-CRMP by providing the RIMS-CRMP Prep course, which is one reason why RIMS-CRMP is growing so well in Singapore. [10:03] RIMS-CRMP in general is growing like wildfire. The number one country with RIMS-CRMP holders is the United States, and the second is Canada, but close on the heels of Canada is Singapore. There are more RIMS-CRMP applicants from outside of the United States than in the United States. [10:38] Gary enjoyed his international trip. It was an opportunity to develop a better sense of how to serve those communities, internationalize RIMS content, and make the RIMS-CRMP a global standard. It's the only risk management credential accredited to an international standard by ANSI, the credentialing body. [11:43] RIMS just went through the audit to renew that credential. Making it a global standard will require RIMS to continue to develop, evolve, and improve, asking questions, and involving and engaging people from all over the world. [12:16] It's RIMS plug time! Webinars! All RIMS Webinar registration pages are available at RIMS/org/Webinars. Servpro makes its RIMS Webinars debut on August 8th with Hurricane Preparedness in 2024: Innovations and Strategies to Protect Your Organization. On August 27th, Riskonnect returns to discuss How To Successfully Deploy AI in Risk Management. [12:46] On September 12th, HUB International returns to deliver the third part of their Ready for Tomorrow series, Pivot and Swerve: Staying Agile During Shifting Market Dynamics. [13:01] Justin is delighted to be joined by the moderator for that session, the Chief Marketing Officer for Canada at HUB International, Linda Regner Dykeman. Justin welcomes Linda to RIMScast! [13:37] Linda says they will be discussing current market trends and challenges. The industry has been able to produce some very strong profits over the last few years, after many years of unprofitability driven by weather events in the property line where rates seem to be unsustainable. Casualty also had its issues, particularly with Directors and Officers liability. [14:05] As a result of the profitability the industry was able to achieve over the last few years, most carriers have become more competitive, to grow their books of business. This competition is not being seen in all lines, segments, or geographies. Some zones have not seen the same level of competition across the board. [14:29] As markets transition from a hard market to a competitive environment, there is some unusual and inconsistent behavior. Carriers in Canada are being more flexible with their appetite. [14:41] London is looking to grow significantly over the next couple of years with goals of hitting $100 billion by 2025. Add to that NGAs who are seeing their market share change as local carriers become more competitive. [14:56] As we transition out of what was considered a hard market, we see a lot of inconsistency in this market. [15:05] Add to this the supply chain issues, which are not what they once were, the economy is flat with spending, once normalized for increase in population, it reflects that of a market in recession. [15:19] We, as brokers are finding competitive solutions to protect our clients. We have to pivot and swerve to discover the right opportunity. [15:30] We had a significant rain event in Toronto, followed by one of the worst wildfires Jasper has ever seen, seemingly a once-in-a-hundred-year event; weather catastrophes are more severe and more frequent. [15:44] How is this going to change the availability of capacity of pricing? Time will tell, as insurers try to figure out if their pricing models included the right loadings for these events. [16:07] Being informed by what is happening in the market; the trends, the opportunities, what's available, and partnering with the right broker, will help a risk manager make an informed decision, appropriate for their business. [16:28] The panelists have decades of experience and expertise across North America. They work with clients, markets, and other experts and bring a much broader perspective and experience to this session. [16:43] Steve Pottle is the risk manager on the panel. He's been omnipresent in RIMS Canada for years. He's a former RIMS VP and is currently the Director for Risk and Safety Services at Thompson Rivers University. Justin says he's one of the best and Linda agrees. [17:22] Linda will moderate. She'll ask the panelists questions HUB International has received from its clients, based on what they are seeing happening in the environment around them. She would also like the audience to pose some questions. Audience participation is encouraged. [17:38] Justin thanks Linda Regner Dykeman of HUB International, and will see her again on September 12th, 2024 for the third installment of HUB's Ready for Tomorrow series, Pivot and Swerve: Staying Agile During Shifting Market Dynamics. [17:54] Let's return to today's interview with RIMS CEO, Gary Labranche. [18:48] Gary explains the importance of regional conferences. Not everyone can attend RISKWORLD. RIMS serves a large community. People are at different places in their careers with different budgets. [19:09] One of RIMS's goals is to be as accessible as possible in terms of content and the opportunity to engage. They depend on the chapters and groups of chapters to work together and create educational and engagement opportunities. [19:27] The Florida RIMS Educational Conference is a great example of that. It has been going for decades. It's a wonderful, unique RIMS experience put on by the chapters of Florida. The same with the Western Regional Conference, which Gary is looking forward to. [19:47] The Canada Conference has been going on for decades. Chapters like Chicago, DFW, Atlanta, and others do terrific jobs that provide a really accessible opportunity. People can drive from their homes. It's a lower-priced product. It's very grassroots. [20:18] RIMS announced at RISKWORLD that they will be launching a Texas Regional Conference in August 2025. It's a joint venture between RIMS and the four chapters of Texas. Gary is excited about it! [20:44] RIMS continues to look for ways to create more opportunities for engagement, more accessibility of content, and continue to build the brand. [21:03] Justin speaks of the joint effort of ASAE, ASIS International, and RIMS to produce the Associations' Guide to Risk and Crisis Management toolkit. This was somewhat inspired by the active shooter incident when RIMS RISKWORLD was in Atlanta in 2023. [21:52] Gary describes the event. On the last afternoon of RISKWORLD, there was a mass shooting in midtown Atlanta. Five people were shot; one person was killed. The gunman was at large. Because of the shooting, RIMS canceled the closing session and the evening party. [23:25] RIMS implemented its crisis response plan and learned a lot from doing so. Afterward, RIMS did a complete After Action Analysis. They started thinking through the implications of mass shootings on the entire convention industry. [23:56] Hundreds of thousands of people attend association-sponsored events every year. Gary has run hundreds of conventions, including the convention for the convention industry. Large gatherings are opportunities for violence. We need to take that responsibility more seriously. [24:32] Associations like RIMS have the great privilege of being able to convene people together with the reciprocal responsibility to care for, protect, and secure the convened. RIMS joined with two other organizations to create a risk and crisis management toolkit for conferences. [25:03] Gary explains how RIMs worked with ASIS, a group focused on corporate security, and ASAE, the American Society of Association Executives to produce the toolkit. AON sponsored the project with ASAE Business Services. [25:26] Gary Labranche was honored to contribute and coauthor the toolkit, with Josh Salter and Stuart Rothlein. He describes the content of the toolkit. ASAE just released it and it is the first risk management toolkit in the association space. [26:38] Associations employ a million people and impact hundreds of millions of people through programs and conferences. Gary is happy that RIMS was able to collaborate in this guide, which is available free. It's dedicated to the entire community and those who attend conferences. [27:13] The guide with be shared with RIMS chapters and groups that put on regional conferences. We collectively have a responsibility to those who trust us to convene them and to keep them safe at conventions. [27:32] The link to the toolkit is in this episode's show notes. Justin encourages you to check it out, after you listen to this full interview with RIMS CEO Gary Labranche! [28:37] Gary explains third-party litigation funding. It is a growing source of concern to all in the risk management community. The concern is that funding could be coming from unidentified sources, including parties hostile to the national security interests of the United States. [30:12] It could be laundered money. We don't know the source of the funds. There have been efforts in some states to get more transparency on the sources of funding and what the intention is behind the funding. [30:48] Justin believes there are plenty of plaintiff's law firms that are fighting against third-party litigation funding to maintain the integrity of their practice areas. RIMS's Public Policy Committee is looking at this funding. [31:21] Gary notes that we are at the end of this session of Congress. No legislation on third-party litigation funding has moved forward. There is an opportunity to build toward legislation, in the next session of Congress. [31:41] There has been some successful legislation passed in some states. The public policy community feels there might be more opportunity to pursue this kind of legislation at the state level. Third-party litigation funding is becoming RIMS's number one public policy issue. [32:16] RIMS is also still focusing and working on flood insurance reauthorization. Gary guesses it will be reauthorized at the 11th-and-a-half hour in a big appropriations omnibus package. [33:24] Third-party litigation funding is here to stay. Gary suggests there is opportunity for RIMS to build a coalition and create funding through the RISK PAC to get allies on both sides of the aisle in both bodies of Congress, for a level playing field and judicial system transparency. [34:19] It's RIMS Plug Time! The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal is to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals. That is achieved, in part, by collaborating with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [34:36] Whether you want to apply for a grant, participate in the Risk Manager on Campus program, or just learn more about Spencer, visit SpencerEd.org. [34:47] On September 12th, 2024, we look forward to seeing you at the Spencer Funding Their Future Gala at The Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City. Our recent guest from Episode 293, Lilian Vanvieldt-Gray, will be our honoree. [35:04] Lilian is the Executive Vice President and Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer at Alliant Insurance Services and she will be honored for her valuable contributions to supporting the future of risk management and insurance. [35:20] That was a great episode, so after you finish this one, please go back and listen to Episode 293. [35:27] Let's conclude our interview with RIMS CEO, Gary Labranche. [35:54] Gary says 2025 is the 75th anniversary of RIMS. It's a great opportunity to celebrate the past and focus on the future. RIMS is launching a 75th anniversary effort, the highlight of which will be RISKWORLD 2025, in Chicago at McCormack Place. [36:42] We're going into RISKWORLD 2025 with enormous momentum from RISKWORLD 2024. Attendance was up 21% from RISKWORLD 2023. The international headcount grew 35%. The number of countries represented grew by 14%. We're sailing into 2025 with the wind in our sails. [37:25] RISKWORLD takes a lot of effort and many years of preparation. Gary says we're very excited about RISKWORLD 2025. Justin notes that the 75th Anniversary celebration is all year long and RISKWORLD 2025 is one event in the celebration. There will be content along the way. [38:11] RISKWORLD has nine to 11 thousand people attending. It takes a lot of space at a convention center and lots of rooms in hotels around the city. The target time is early May. There is competition for hotels at that time of year. [38:58] As a result, RIMS selects the city more than eight to 10 years in advance. Right now, RIMS is working on RISKWORLD 2034. They have to anticipate the growth of the convention over the decade. Six years in advance, they have a soft contract. [39:51] There aren't that many cities that can host RISKWORLD. It's a math problem of square feet and the number of hotel rooms that can be committed. What's the flight lift into that city? What international flight lift do they have? How many connections? [41:12] Gary shares that there is so much wisdom in the RIMS community. We're in the era of polycrisis. The world is more risk-aware than ever before. We all have a sense of risk being all around us. Never before has risk management been as visible and as valued by organizations. [41:54] Gary states that this is a discipline that makes the world safer, more secure, and more sustainable. Gary talks to students and young professionals about how exciting that is. If you want to make a difference in the world, a way to do that is to be involved in this community. [43:01] Risk management is a job that sees everything, knows everything, and connects to everything in the organization. A risk manager is at the center of the matrix of knowledge. You're in a position to influence and direct the outcomes in many different aspects. [43:38] Risk management is a cool space that will continue to grow in appeal. RIMS's job is to continue to make risk management more attractive and visible to students and early career professionals. Most people come to risk management through insurance and other places. [44:18] RIMS wants to attract and retain the talent we need to ensure the work of risk management well into the future. There will be increasing competition for talent. RIMS needs to be competitive to win the war for talent. [44:48] In the 75th-anniversary efforts, RIMS will ramp up the Foundation for Risk Management, which will help win the competition for talent, increase the inclusivity of the community, advance knowledge and research, and sustain and accelerate the knowledge of the profession. [45:19] This will help ensure the sustainability of the community and the future of risk management. [45:40] Special thanks again to RIMS CEO, Gary Labranche for joining us here on RIMScast!

You have guests from around the world. It's pretty cool, I have to say. — RIMS CEO Gary Labranche   The industry has been able to produce some very strong profits over the last few years, after many years of unprofitability driven by weather events in the property line. — Linda Regner Dykeman   RIMS-CRMP is growing like wildfire. The number one country with RIMS-CRMP holders is the United States, and the second is Canada, but Singapore is close on the heels of Canada. There are more RIMS-CRMP applicants from outside the U.S. than in the U.S. — RIMS CEO Gary Labranche   If you want to make a difference in the world, a way to do that is to be involved in this community. — RIMS CEO Gary Labranche    

Markets are ecosystems. They are unique to geographies, economies, and weather (seasons of change). Market participants later find they need to be represented as a single voice in representing their needs to the government or to coalesce around industry standards to uplift the quality of their industry. For example, the American Society for Industrial Security (ASIS) was born in 1955. The original members were meeting to share information with each other and to adapt the security regulations that were coming out of the Department of Defense. Many had come to their security positions from the FBI, which was frequently asked after the war to perform security surveys of industrial sites. Just as ASIS was launched to represent positional security authority within organizations, the Security Industry Association (SIA) founded in 1969 as a trade association representing global security solutions providers, including manufacturers, service providers, and integrators of electronic and physical security equipment. Two associations representing two different groups within a common ecosystem. Many more associations have been introduced within this market representing different interests and groups. Interesting enough, no one as yet connected the vital information from each source into a single syndicated channel. We talked with Michael Gips, JD, CPP, CSyP, CAE, the President of the recently reimagined Life Safety Alliance (LSA). He has served as both the Chief Security Officer and Chief Global Knowledge and Learning Officer for ASIS International, where he oversaw Learning, Content, Certification, Standards & Guidelines, Production, Enterprise Security Risk Management, and other departments. He developed the CSO Roundtable, an organization that includes hundreds of the most senior security executives at the biggest corporations around the world, as a membership group within ASIS. He also served as editor and publisher of Security Management, where he authored hundreds of articles. Mike is also a senior advisor for Cardinal Point Strategies, a senior advisor for the Network Contagion Research Institute, and a Partner in the Knowledgebase of Insider Threats. He also serves on the advisory boards of several organizations that provide technology and services in government security, executive protection, violence prevention, and emergency geolocation. A highly networked, highly knowledgeable, and highly generous man. As you listen to the conversation, you will see the hub of syndicated information he is attempting to aggregate, organize, and distribute as well as his vision for connecting the authors of the content with the moments that matter in the security market. If achieved this will be not only a content aggregator, but also a relationship generator which is the foundation of industry innovation and change. For those who join in this ground floor opportunity, it may represent a unique reciprocal opportunity to be at the table as a new syndication of relationship and content emerge. Enjoy the conversation.

In the latest episode of Association Tech Insider, we dive into the highlights of the ASAE AI Summit. The conversation centers around AI's transformative role in various association functions, including publishing, event management, and advocacy, while also acknowledging the critical ethical and diversity considerations in AI implementation. Mr. Reggie Henry is working hard to ensure associations can lead technology adoption and not play catch-up like we usually do. AI's potential to automate routine tasks and revolutionize association content dissemination is explored, suggesting a shift from traditional models to more interactive, solution-oriented interfaces. Hosted by Adam Savino, Vice President of Technology & Organizational Effectiveness at ASIS International, he navigates the important topic of ASAE's AI Summit with Reggie Henry, Chief Information and Performance Excellence Officer at ASAE.

Afraid that you'll be replaced by technology? Recent studies show a growing concern among workers. And while it may be the case with some jobs, history shows that new technology ultimately creates jobs, improves the way we work and helps us evolve in our professions. In this episode, we're fortunate to host Tim McCreight, President of ASIS International—recorded live at the organization's signature event: The 2023 Global Security Exchange (GSX) in Dallas, Texas. For nearly 70 years, ASIS International has navigated change, grown internationally, and helped its members—and the security profession—to evolve, by among other things, embracing technology.As the leader of the world's largest membership organization for security professionals, and former CISO/CSO, Tim shares perspective on how tech has quickly transformed from mainframes to handheld computers—and why physical and cyber security are no longer separate. We'll also examine how emerging technologies are helping people work more efficiently, providing humans with time to do higher-level work. Finally, we'll take a look at how ASIS itself has embraced tech in order to better serve its members, and how the organization is doubling down on its efforts to keep standards, guidelines and certifications up to date in an increasingly fast-paced world. Join us for a revealing episode that addresses how to build a supportive community, elevate a profession and take advantage of technology. For more information about Axis Communications, visit us at www.axis.comFollow us on social media at Axis Communications - Home | FacebookAxis Communications: My Company | LinkedInAxis North America (@Axis_NA) / Twitter

Briggs is a leading expert on security and has advised governments and multinational corporations on security, resilience, terrorism, and responses to extremism. She conducts research, thought leadership, and consulting for corporate clients on security and cybersecurity. She is also an Associate Fellow at Chatham House. She was awarded an OBE by Her Majesty the Queen in 2014 for services to hostage families and kidnap victims overseas.Briggs and host Dr. Marisa Randazzo discuss:Why great ideas can change the world and how the Clarity Factory helps identify new insights and drive innovation in the corporate security and cybersecurity industry.Her process of conveying research to leaders around an organization and the important exercise of always coming back to the core argument.The undeniable connection between diversity and innovation in the security industry and what gives her hope that change is possible in the near future.Key Takeaways:02:50: Rachel Briggs: Any area or profession needs to have good ideas to be able to continually change and improve and face the increasing challenges that we face in the world. But great ideas change the world. (Of course if they are grounded in reality.)06:31: Rachel Briggs: I think the simpler you can keep your ideas, without dumbing them down of course, the further they can travel and the better able people are able to implement it. That's why it's about clarity for me, it's about taking the messy old world that we all live in today and you know.06:58: Marisa Randazzo: One of the things that has really impressed me about the work that you have done has been not only the clarity of the ideas but of how you communicate those ideas and especially for a corporate security audience or a c-suite audience. One of the things that has been so powerful in the work that you have done has been the succinctness and simplicity with which you have conveyed these ideas. It's not just the idea itself. I'd love to just hear about the process of how you go from kind of that raw data to really. Deriving the insights that that you do and then how you communicate it.08:07: Rachel Briggs:  I'm a really big believer in trusting the process. You start by opening the funnel and you know what your initial question is and you keep that really simple and you then open it up and gather as much data and information as you possibly can. At a certain point in time you have to stop and go back down the funnel in the other direction and really get sharp on what the argument is — just try and write what it is. I force myself to get back to one piece of paper and find a way of really describing what it is I think this is telling me in a very succinct way before I start writing.I think having that discipline really helps you to write and to communicate in a way that is clear. You're always coming back to your core argument and it really helps you to figure out — is this bit of data relevant or not because inevitably you end up with too much and you have to be ruthless. 15:55: Rachel Briggs: You know in anything I write, whether it's a 500 word blog post or a 20,000 word report it has to be focused on what can the reader go and do differently in the office tomorrow.21:11: Marisa Randazzo: Within security, practitioners are often trying to talk with departments outside of security — whether it is to brief a c-suite on security issues or talk with human resources or an employee assistance program — oftentimes they speak different languages and a researcher within the violence risk assessment field has talked about this great term of boundary spanner. Someone who speaks different kinds of languages in different sectors so you can communicate clearly across different domains.26:08: Rachel Briggs: I had the pleasure of working with ASIS International and its foundation. I spent about nine months diving into the issue of diversity equity and inclusion within corporate security and - spoiler alert- there isn't as much diversity as there should be. Perhaps we didn't need a piece of research to tell us that but more importantly, what I wanted to do was get under the skin of that and really understand what's happening. I interviewed 16 chief security officers and I think without exception all of them got why security and diversity were important. One of the responses that really gave me hope was when we asked for people to tell us from strongly agree to strongly disagree whether they would speak up if they saw something that wasn't right (some discriminatory behavior) and the vast majority of respondents — across all groups men women straight gay disabled non-disabled etc — said they absolutely would speak up.In other words and I thought that was really important because essentially what we're talking about in terms of diversity is a change management challenge. We're trying to take an industry from being from looking and sounding one way to looking and sounding different in some ways and change happens first because there's the firebrands who are on the frontline who are fighting and shouting and um. You know often feel like they're sort of shouting into an empty room in those early years but answers like that that say people are willing to speak up tells me that things are changing now are they changing fast enough. 

Do you often feel like you're fighting an uphill battle alone at work? You might need to reconnect with the people around you to find allies, new strategies, and reinvigorated purpose. In this episode of the SM Highlights podcast, we talk with Brittany Galli, chair of the ASIS Women in Security Community, about the shared experiences, paths forward, and pay negotiation tips discussed at the inaugural Security LeadHER conference in June 2023. Corporate protection consultant Bobby Brumfield outlines the value of self-awareness as a core skill for leaders. And Jenny Brinkley, director of Amazon security, shares how to be relatable and fun to make security awareness training measures connect with employees more effectively.

Words are real things. When conveyed through the written word or articulated in a speech, they have the power to direct and shape individual behavior and markets. With this mind, I would like to discuss what it means to be a professional. I believe we can agree that it infers a ranking conferred by education, skill, or training. Markets show their maturity by the establishment of formal standards that are then used to judge the competency of an individual or product. If they pass the test, they often get a certification that can be aligned with their personal or product brand. The largest security association in the world is ASIS International. They are an established Standards Developing Organization. That unique role and its associated processes create the context for incubating and formalizing standards and guidelines that drive behavior in the risk, resilience, and security industry. In our latest conversation, we asked a member of the ASIS committee that has been reviewing, amending, and, he would argue, enhancing the Chief Security Officer Standard originally published in 2004. It will now be called “Senior Security Executive”. Our conversation takes us back to a time when Physical Security was associated with gates, guns, and guards. And Cyber Security was an IT Management function. Security was not often viewed as a member of the executive team. Largely, the leaders in the security industry did not have a voice because they did not know the language of business. Thus, people were advocating for a job description for a corporate role. Chief Security Officer (CSO), as a title, became the focus. This conversation centers around the value of a title vs. a role. The new standard will be debated among the original committee and their advocates and many who have benefited from these early adopters. But this new standard has the opportunity to reframe the role in terms of the business. It the role is reframed and articulated to the business correctly, it will act as a touchstone for reframing security from a solely defensive role into one that acts as a pivotal advisor to the business and its leaders as they navigate risk and opportunity. The framework is expressed through a published guideline: Enterprise Security Risk Management (ESRM). It describes the enterprise security risk management (ESRM) approach and explains how it can enhance a security program while aligning security resources with organizational strategy to manage risk. Utilizing ESRM security professionals work with asset owners to identify and prioritize assets and risks in order to mitigate those risks and create a holistic security program that supports the organization's mission. The gentlemen we spoke with, Michael Gips, Principal of Global Insights in Professional Security has been a top influencer in the industry for over 20 years and is recognized as such by his peers. Listen to this walk through the history of a profession seeking influence in the vision, mission, and execution of the business. The opportunity is enormous. And it is now. Enjoy the conversation.

In this episode of Real Talk, KJK Student Defense Attorneys Susan Stone and Kristina Supler are joined by Joe Hendry, a Senior Director of onsite services for Navigate 360. They discuss school safety and best practices.  The conversation includes why schools are still a relatively safe space for kids , the importance and limitations of a threat assessment in today's day and age, and what parents, students, and school faculty need to know to properly prevent and manage threatening school situations. Links Mentioned In the Show: KJK Student Defense Navigate360.com Show Notes: (01:06) What makes today's guest perfect to discuss children's safety in school (02:48) Are schools in this day and age considered a safe environment for kids? (03:15) The unprecedented spike in mental health issues in schools since the onset of the pandemic (03:56)  Have professionals and experts in the field determined a specific profile that indicates one can become an active shooter? (04:50) The limitations of threat assessment in a school setting (05:50) An instance where 2 separate threat assessments were fatally inaccurate  (07:49) How to distinguish a possible threat indicator from an unremarkable firearm post on social media  (08:45) How conducting risk assessments can aid in improving safety and security protocols in the school setting overall (09:37) Typical issues Joe and his team identify during risk assessments in school districts  (11:10) Why over 90% of these catastrophic incidents are actually internal threats (12:00) The importance of early intervention to prevent behavioral issues in students from escalating (13:43) What parents and their children need to know about school lockdowns during dire situations (16:28) Why simply containing dangerous situations within the school physically is not always to correct solution and might even work in favor of the assailant (18:29) Flexibility is the key to an effective lockdown protocol; there is no one-size-fits-all lockdown Susan Stone: Today's topic is quite serious. School safety.  Kristina Supler: This is a really difficult topic to discuss. It's. It's a topic that evokes anxiety and fear and. It's top of mind for all of us, particularly as families and households are getting ready for children to go back to school. So we really thought it was essential to do an episode on school safety. Susan Stone: And every time there is another school shooting, it seems like there's a lot of finger pointing and blame placed and it's not constructive to constantly place blame. So we really wanted to have a guest here to talk about what are steps we could take to. Be more solution focused.  Kristina Supler: With that in mind. Let's kick it off with today's guest, Joe Hendry.  We're here today to talk about school safety and best practices. We're so pleased to be joined by our guest, Joe Henry, Joe served in the Marine Corps and then was a law enforcement officer for nearly 30 years. Now he's transitioned. He's in the private sector where he's senior director of onsite services for Navigate 360, which is basically a company that provides safety solutions for school. Susan Stone: We really are lucky to have you here, Joe, can I just brag about you a little bit before we ask you questions? You were named by the Ohio department of Homeland security. I'm gonna do it anyways. Even if it embarrasses you and the Ohio attorney General's office, as an expert in civilian and law enforcement responses to active threats. Mr Hendry he was also selected as a one of only 18 subject matter experts in school security in the world, by his peers at the, and correct me if I get this wrong, Joe, the ASIS International organization. And we've really avoided this topic, Kristina, because fortunately school safety hasn't been hasn't really hit our practice. We haven't really dealt with that issue in terms of our clients and our cases, but too much has happened. And we felt it was really important to bring you on Joel. And thank you so much for agreeing to talk about school safety.  Joe Hendry: Sure.  Kristina Supler: Thanks again for joining us. through the pandemic, Susan and I in our practice have seen a, a surge in students with mental health issues. And now we turn on the news and here we are. So let's start with the big question. Are schools safe today?  Joe Hendry: I think schools are relatively safe compared to a lot of other locations because there's so much, in place from prior events since Columbine occurred Schools have taken security for the most part fairly seriously. So a lot of things were in place potentially physically security wise from incidents at Columbine and Virginia tech and, Sandy hook that started requiring, special locks, doors, fencing, things like that. But you are correct. There's been a huge uptick in mental health issues. Since the pandemic And that affects security in ways that we haven't seen before prepared for actually,  Susan Stone: Kristine and I deal with mental health issues that impact the types of accommodations that students need in schools, such as ADHD or dyslexia or autism. We're talking about something very, very, very different. And I just wanna know in your experience working on these issues, is there a profile of the type of person or who would become an active shooter?  Joe Hendry: So the secret service is done two major studies since Columbine and has been really unable to come up with a definitive answer. There's a profile for an active shooter. We have a profile for someone who's a serial killer. There are indicators of person who may become an active shooter, but having a set threat assessment profile of one there isn't there's overlap with things, obviously the most recent one at all day that individual really didn't have any run ins may have had some mental health issues that really didn't. Very obvious through the education system. I've read that he was denied access to some educational benefits to him because he wasn't classified as needing them by the school district. It sounds like he began to leave the education system in a very slow way was having problems at Develop fascination with guns, things like that. Those are indicators potentially of someone who may be prone to violence. It's one of those things where you know, it, when you see it, but because we don't train people how to identify it sometimes threat assessment works and sometimes it doesn't, it's not the exact science. So the way you guys deal with a lot of things, you see ADA access, ADA access, things like that. What I see on my side of the house and I'm trained in NTAC that's national threat assessment center for mental health, you know, identifying people with mental health issues that may become violent. Those type of people require professional assessment by people who are psychologists people who are involved, potentially parents, teachers. Law enforcement security people that run into them in the education system. And even that isn't particularly 100% full proof in identifying those people because there is no exact profile. So a lot of times you may not even know you stop somebody in the path to violence by doing a good behavioral threat assessment on them. But a lot of times it becomes an issue where they don't even. Be able to identify people. You guys remember the Arapahoe shooting a few years ago? Yeah. At the stem school. So that individual it had two threat assessments, one done by the school and one, his mother actually had done by a professional psychologist and both of them actually identified him as a low threat and here he becomes an active shooter. There's no 100% cure all for some of the threats we see in the education system that all makes. Yeah,  Kristina Supler: well, it it's, it's actually frightening to think about what you're saying in that there's all these mental health professionals and experts and law enforcement professionals, and other safety professionals who study this for a living. And you say there's no specific. Profile. And it begs the question, Susan and I regularly handle student misconduct cases that might involve the student getting in trouble for posting a picture with a toy gun or fake bullets, things like that. And we've seen believe it or not. We've seen students expelled for these types of social media posts. So can you talk to us a little bit about what's the difference between. Maybe a real warning sign versus something along the lines of a student making a joke. That of course is not funny.  Susan Stone: No. And I just wanna add, because the, every year it seems like Kristina, wouldn't you agree? They always happen in September. The jokes come online often,  often. Yeah. That's a good  point. And we're seeing middle school kids because they have access to devices younger and younger, and I don't wanna profile, but typically boys who will post pictures. And they, they really do think it's a joke or that it's just for friends. They don't expect it to get out. So how's a school supposed to know the difference between this is just a normal kid. And if you expel this kid, you're really derailing their education or causing a school to prison pipeline, versus we gotta watch this kid,  Joe Hendry: right. It's really the entirety of behavior of the student who actually has the incident, right. A kid drawing a picture of a gun could go either way. Right. Does he have an unhealthy obsession with a gun? Does he have access to firearms? Has he done things in the past? That would lead people to believe that he's violent, that has, tendencies potentially is the individual suicidal. Does he have. Does he bully other children? All those things come together, drawing the picture of the firearm itself in and of itself may be absolutely nothing. And that's one of the problems we have. Since Columbine, there was this big, huge zero tolerance for violence policy. Sure. Yeah. And that doesn't work. Really doesn't that's why professional behavioral threat assessment is. So I. There's a couple different programs out there. And, you know, in my role as a school professional, one of the things that I do is we do company does risk assessments and I go and conduct risk assessments. In fact, I'm in the process of actually writing a risk assessment for a school district that had an active shooter last year that we were at. And one of the things we at you  Susan Stone: clarify, Joe, when you say a risk assessment, I just wanna understand for the institution, or do you do it on a specific student? I just wanna make sure  Joe Hendry: we're doing it on the institution. Thank you. The entire, I just didn't understand that. Okay. Facility. So we're looking at all their safety and security procedures and their personnel and their training. And there's a lot of interviews. We look at the physical security safety, and all those things come together because that require. Safety and security requires a very comprehensive plan and it's not just the physical side of things. It's the mental health side of things. Are you providing, behavioral threat assessment you're providing training to people, are you training, emergency operation plan, continuity of operation plans? All those things go into a risk assessment. But one of the things we see is when we start going to do a risk assessment of district, and we ask for paperwork, they'll tell us that they have a threat assessment team, right? They maybe have a school psychologist or social worker on the team. They have a, maybe a school resource officer, principal teacher sometimes outside professionals, depending on the case, what we find is they're meeting, but they really don't have a good guide sense of guidelines on how to conduct the assessment. They don't have good record keeping they're not using, the national threat assessment center from the secret service has professional standards and. In order how to conduct a risk assessment for someone who potentially could be violent or potentially it's a student acting out, or like you said, it could be a student who just did something that thought it would be funny among his friends and it blew up in their face. So what's the decision has to be, what is the difference between all three of those individuals? Having a policy that says if anyone does anything, we kick them outta school. doesn't benefit anyone, especially the student that is the subject of the behavioral threat assessment.  Kristina Supler: So, so was, let me ask you, is there any way there's a lot that goes into this. This is a complicated issue, of course. Is there any way for schools to identify early on before the catastrophe happens? When a, a potential shooter a student. Who might engage in some sort of violence enters the building  Susan Stone: or a stranger? Sure. Doesn't have to be a, a student. It could be just, you know, unidentified citizen, Joe Hendry: you know, a lot of people don't understand specifically active shooter events in education over 90% of them are internal threats. There're students, staff members of people. Wow. That's really interesting's. So it's not strange. It's meant associated with the school.  Wow. Okay. When you say associated, could you tell. Who, what are the who's in that 90%?  I'm curious. So if you're talking students, there's been staff members, obviously there have been, husbands of teachers parents, they're all people that are intimately associated with the school, that know facility that know where people are, all of that stuff. And I'm not gonna get in the lockdown right now, cuz we're on a different topic. When you realize they're gonna get there,  Susan Stone: Joe. Hey, tight.  Joe Hendry: okay. When you get to 90, when you're thinking about 90% of the people are either from the facility or intimately acquainted with it, these are people that a lot of times that are known now, sometimes it's former students that commit crimes, but a lot of times, if we can identify behavioral issues and students that are young without labeling them as a threat, maybe they just had behavioral issues. That, they need to work on kind of stuff. Those kind of things are early interventions with students that, you can maybe potentially change behaviors in young students so that they don't become disillusioned, that they don't become bullies or victim of bullying, things like that. Those are all things that kind of need identified early in the process. A lot of times I'll see and hear from teachers and staff on risk assessments that they. Anti-bullying training maybe at the junior or high level and the high school level, but they're not doing it at elementary school when it actually really is beginning. Susan Stone: Well, when you talk about early intervention, you're speaking our language, cuz we're all about advocating for early intervention, but I wanna shift a little bit. Sure. Because this podcast, we're both parents; you're a parent, Joe; you're talking to parents. So if you were going to speak to parents, what you're doing now, what should parents be telling their children about? God forbid, if something happens how to respond. I know, I would say, and it's probably the wrong thing. You're gonna tell me it. But my instinct is that fight flight, but really in this case, it's flight, like run away, go  Kristina Supler: don't. Yeah. I'm not sure that I, I don't think when I hear my daughter talk about the training she does, it's it? Her school it's it's the opposite. So I I'm curious, Joe, you're you're the expert. What should parents be talking to their kids about? Realistically?  Joe Hendry: So what a lot of people don't understand is, you know, we, we talk about it in a very ubiquitous way, the word lockdown, right? It kind of covers everything. Everybody uses it for everything, lockdowns a code word, number one, which we shouldn't even be thinking about using, FEMA came out in 2050 that don't use codes, tell people exactly what's happening so they know how to respond. And I keep hearing the word lockdown. It  Susan Stone: scares me. I don't feel trapped. Joe Hendry: It's a verbal word. You're actually trapping. You're doing the one thing that someone who becomes an active shooter or, you know, is a suspect in one of these things. Lockdown actually does. The one thing that the gunman is completely unable to do by themselves. That is gain control of an entire facility that is populated on by almost every room by people and gives 'em complete and utter control of the facility. And absolutely almost in no way, is there anything that's going to happen other than potentially you put a door lock between a suspect and a room full of kids, but that door lock the windows in the doors, the doors, none of those are manufactured to withstand gunfire. There. The infrastructure doesn't match the response. Kristina Supler: Everyone wants to get in the room. They're gonna get in the room, right? Yeah, no,  Susan Stone: I, I, I, like I said, my instinct has always has not like the idea of telling your kid to stay in the room. So what do you do, joe?  Joe Hendry: Yeah, here's the thing. And really, we have examples of this already nationally in training and fire response. I mean, fire response, all of us know how to respond to a fire and we've been train. Nationally to how to respond to a fire since 1960. And that 62 years of training has told us that if the building's on fire and you're under danger, you should leave. But it also gives us other options. Like if we're in contact with a fire, you catch on, fire's supposed to stop, drop and roll. We train people if other people on fire and they panic and they start to run, knock them down, roll on top of them. Extinguish. With your own body. We're trained in fire extinguishers, the infrastructure, the buildings built around us surviving a fire and everything. But the interesting thing is, and this is originally why we got on this call is we don't train people to fight fires. Right. We just, we don't do that, but we train 'em how to do everything else, active shooters, the exact same thing. But because back Lockdown tactics and active shooter come from Southern California from the 1970s. But the problem is rooted in the 1960s. The riots in Watts in Los Angeles caused a Los Angeles unified school district to fence in several of their properties around their schools to keep threats outside. Right. A very common concept called concentric rings of security to prevent threats from coming from the neighborhoods onto the school. That concept worked very well for particular types of threat. However, at that moment in time, too, at that moment in time, and that moment in time, cuz that  infrastructure works very well, right for certain threats. But however, in the 1970s, when the FBI defeats the mafia in Southern California, basically, right, it creates power vacuum, the power vacuum still by gangs. Those gangs begin to target each other where the mafia really targeted people in a. Particular way, right? They found a target. That was the person was the target. The gangs began to just spray gunfire in the streets and drive-by shootings became like a major event in these cities. And still to some extent they are, but really in the seventies and eighties, this was huge problem into the 1990s. But what happened was the kids who were at the school when they were shot at, on the street, had the ability to run away. But the fencing for the threats that was installed in the 60. Became a trap for the students that were on school ground, know anything about Los Angeles, the school grounds. A lot of the it's warm all day, right? So the kids are outside. Their cafeterias are outside. Their lunch rooms are outside. Their gyms are outside. They have courtyard open schools with doors that open in the courtyards. There's no interior hallways. So when these events happen, the ability to run away was fixed by the fence mm-hmm and they could not leave the area. So Los Angeles had to come up with a different response and they actually began to call what's called drive-by shooting drills. You can actually look these up. The first reference I can find to them in a national publication is an ed week in January of 1993, where a reporter does a study on how drive-by shooting drills are being used for shootings that are beginning to happen on school campuses. So this is 30 years ago.  Susan Stone: Apply those however day. Are we supposed to train? Are students in an orderly way, how to get out of the building,  Joe Hendry: For fire. Yes. But here's the problem. When we see training, right. Organizations good in training and you, you know, you need to crawl, walk, run when you do training. Right. But we don't pick the time, the place or the victims of an event. And if you have a one size fits all plan like lockdown, single option or. And you have to be in a room and you have to do certain steps in order to remain safe. Those plans are not flexible. They're not like a fire plan that has flexibility based on your location to the fire. You know, if I told you to go into a room and close the door and wait for the fire department to come save you during a fire, you would tell me I was insane. But that's the fact, but let ask you this  Kristina Supler: practice shooter what's that if, if. One teacher, it sounds like. So I hear you. We can't have one size fits all cuz you can't, you don't know exactly what threat is going to present itself, but I isn't. It also true. You can't have some teachers evacuating students and other teachers in the same school, keeping students locked in cuz isn't that a, a, a total recipe for chaos  Joe Hendry: actually chaos works on our favor during these events. These are human beings committing these crimes. Human beings can only focus on one thing at a time. And if you give them control of an entire facility, in which every room in that facility, I don't people say you're hiding and they turn off the lights and all that stuff. That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard because the threat is 90% of 'em come from the facility or intimately acquainted with it. And you know, at 1:23 in the afternoon, on a Tuesday at a school, how many rooms are occupied?  Susan Stone: So Joe, I'm gonna press you. Because our listeners need something to take home. What would you tell your child to do depending on the age? Could you break it up between sure. Elementary, middle and a high school student,  Joe Hendry: young elementary school students should listen to the teachers, but that requires the teachers to be properly trained based on the location of the event. Right. So my kids. Regardless of where they're at in school right now in elementary school, only about 60 to 70% of the school day spent in a classroom. So you could potentially lock down in a classroom, right? That may be an option based on your location, based on where the threat is. However, they're also on the playground in the cafeteria and the bathroom and the hallways and the library, um, in the gym. All of those locations may require a different. That may require evacuation. So it doesn't mean everyone in the building does the same thing. Every response is based on your location, based on where the threat is. And you have to have some type of ability to adjust to a threat. If you are in contact with it. I'm sure everyone read  Susan Stone: about what's that I gotta push you on this. And I normally don't push my guests hard. Oh no, go ahead. But what should the parent tell the high school kids, the high school kids,  Joe Hendry: high school kids. I, I told my high school kids, the first thing you do, regardless of what's happening, if you know there's a threat and you're able to evacuate the facility, the policy means nothing. Leave the facility.  Kristina Supler: There you go. Susans in  Susan Stone: thinks we're correct leaves. What I've always told  Joe Hendry: my kids. Leave, leave the facility. Number two, if you don't know where the threat is, or you're in close contact with it and you have the ability. You don't have the ability to leave the facility. That's when you use lockdown, but it's not traditional lockdown. I'm only relying on a door. I'm barricading a door. There's a lot of doors in schools where students cannot lock them because they don't have keys. Right. Teachers may not be present. All those things affect the response. That's why you need the ability to be flexible. So students need to know how to barricade a location. They need to know how to prepare countermeasures inside. If the location is. All of these things, the people killing them normally are their classmates. So they know these people and they know who they are, the ability to barricade. Location's good. If my, and I've told my children, if you are in contact, you know, once they probably hit junior high, I told them if you're in contact and you cannot evacuate, and there's no ability to barricade, cuz like I said, bad guy pick the time, the place and the victims, you do whatever you need to do to survive that. It could be swarming the gunman. It could be throwing things at the gunman's face to crack them. It could be trying to run past the gunman. We're all different as human beings training. You know, I did a, there's a scientific study that I had published with two professors in the journal of school violence, where we actually studied response with lockdown and, and multi option response with active shooter. Individuals that use multi option response. It doesn't mean everyone survives. It doesn't mean no one's injured. What it does mean is the casualties decrease in that circumstance by over 75%, when you use multi option response over lockdown, when there's an actual threat. So it becomes important to tell the kids everything that they can do to survive. Not just one single thing, because if the one single thing fails, then pretty much everyone that's at that location ends up being shot.  Susan Stone: Thank you. So  Kristina Supler: it's such a, it's such a complicated issue. I I'd like to take a few moments to turn our attention to the report. That's recently come out examining the Uvalde shooting. We know that there were the report indicates that it was total chaos and in a multitude of systemic failures what transpired that day? How do we prevent the chaos when people realize a shooter might be in the building and it's terrifying. And, and can you tell us what are some of the key takeaways from that report and what do you think we should all know and learn from that report? Joe Hendry: I guess we'll start with the school response. It's pretty obvious that the school and it's interesting because the state of Texas certified that school is being prepared for an active shooter.  Kristina Supler: Oh, my gosh.  Joe Hendry: I, so that was one of the big, huge takeaways from the report. The state said they were okay. Which means obviously what they had in place. It's not just the law enforcement failure. It was the failure of their training. It was the failure of their planning. It was the failure of whatever they had told their students to do when something happened, the teacher in the one classroom where all the students were killed and the teacher survived which I, I don't know if I. How I feel about myself. The teacher said that their plan failed and when the gunman came in the room, they were all sitting on the floor where they had been told to hide. And the gunman just block down, shot all of them. And that's not the first time that it's happened in the use of lockdown. So the school did not have, whatever the state said they had in place, obviously didn't work. There were sounds like broken door locks or doors that were propped things like. Those are huge safety concerns. Any at any time, especially with a school that was having a ton of lockdowns because of the border patrol activity in the area, things like that, where they were leaving doors open, apparently which anyone could have come into the school. They had fencing around the school. It was only five feet high. That is not a proper height. It doesn't sound like they had professional risk assessment, which is the basis of everything you do. And you never one you never, ever, and you guys know this never, ever assess yourself. And your capabilities, you always have. Kristina Supler: No. Cause of course we're biased. We also, no. Susan Stone: And, and Joe, I don't know if you agree with this, but I think that in preparing for today and just every day, reading the news, the response, both healthcare workers, getting kids out of there, getting them medical attention Having law enforcement go in and know how to manage it. Having school safety officers know how to manage it. There was a lot to take away from this situation.  Joe Hendry: When I, so it was a former law enforcement officer and a master trainer for our state and solo engagement. Um, and I was former SWAT member. There were 376 police officers there and no one took charge. No one. No one ran operations inside. It sounds like no one ran operations outside. It was mass chaos. I was kind of hoping the report would maybe talk about whatever the fire and emergency medical service response was. You know, were they organized? Were they prepared? Because usually, there's a thing called unified command and unified command is the law enforcement fire response. And you guys didn't mention this in my bio, but I sit on NFPA 3000, which writes the national standards for law enforcement, fire and EMS to respond. Those things that are in the code in NFPA 3000. I don't believe were followed at all from what I've read, uh, and know so far it's to me as a law enforcement officer, it's very disheartening to see what happened. And to know that one of the, and it came out in the report that one of the agencies that supposedly talked about the law enforcement response didn't even conduct their own investigation. They took state reports and were trying to tell what went wrong during the incident. Obviously from a legal standpoint, we all know that is completely the wrong way to do that. And it'll be very interesting when the interview started happening with the officers, especially the command level officers that were there. And it's now come out with the report that the, the majority of officers at the scene were actually federal and state level law enforcement officers, not local law enforcement officer. So Joe, that tells me training had failed at all levels.  Susan Stone: I, I agree that that is an example and it's tragic. But can you give us a positive example of where something has gone, right. Because yeah, we  Kristina Supler: only hear, are there any, are there any  Susan Stone: positive success? Are there stories where there was a potential actor shooter, a school sought responded, and that is the model that we should be promoting. And I, I do wanna, I always try to give a takeaway to parents and end on some positive notes because all we're hearing is what went wrong Joe Hendry: . Trying to think of a good one that probably everyone would know. And I I'll go with Ohio. Chardon's response was actually pretty good. 10 years ago to their event. Um,  Kristina Supler: oh yes. The TJ Lane shooting. That's right.  Joe Hendry: Yeah. Okay. I never say the gunman's names, but yeah, that shooting, um, who was in the media so we can say yeah, there, there that incident. Well, not perfect. Actually went fairly well because. You guys all remember Frank Hall, right? The, the football coach hero, the football coach, the students initially some of the classrooms and stuff, barricaded, things like that. So that response was pretty good. Students were hiding under cafeteria tables, which was a lesson learned. It's like get out of the cafeteria. We had a student in the cafeteria whose mother was trained by one of my instructors at Kent state at the time. and her, she had told her child to evacuate and the, in, when that incident happened the gunman was shooting children underneath the cafeteria table and she was at the table next to it. She actually grabbed her friend and some kitchen even know at the time and drugged them out of cafeteria and left. So there were some good lessons learned there. Frank Hall charging at the gunman, distracted him from shooting students. Frank actually chases him out of the building. And definitely Frank's actions while there were still students that were wounded and killed. His response stopped that incident from being way worse than it could have. There, one of the things we learned from that incident Chardon nationally was how important the reunification process is. Um, because the reunification process worked very well when they evacuated the building with the students. That's important things to work on for events could be applied to other incidences and crimes or incidents in the school, but those were good takeaways, you know, not trying to hide in direct contact with a gun and obviously was a lesson learned, but other rooms in the facility, students evacuating students, barricading locations, that was, those were all good actions taken actually on the scene by the students themselves. Because obviously it was before school started. Some of the students weren't even. Uh, really supervisor or even had the ability to take direction from teacher. When an incident occurred. So it also showed how,  Kristina Supler: and that's a good point because to what you said earlier about the older kids, essentially older students, I should say use their judgment and respond to what's going on immediately around them. That incident unfolded in the early hours of the school day before school even was ahead. Officially started. I, I think and correct me if I'm wrong.  Joe Hendry: They were, my kids were in the cafeteria. Some were waiting for buses and some were, so those  Kristina Supler: students, they, they instinctively their instincts and, and. We're able to respond better. Susan Stone: Look, I think from a career working with students, it is important for parents to tell students. And it's the first question we ask: schools are safe. This is happening, but school, you, you need to have some, we all have to live our lives. We can't walk around being fearful every day or the other mental health issues are gonna skyrocket and then you'll have other problems. We don't want more anxiety. We don't want more depression. But we have to be ready. And. Joe. I just wanna thank you because we need people like you to come into the schools. We need to learn from the errors that have occurred and move forward somehow. So I appreciate the conversation today.  Joe Hendry: Yeah. I thought it was very good. Kristina Supler: Thanks for joining us. It was really time well spent to hear from you as an expert and, and there's so much more to learn and consider on this topic. Thank you so much for your time. We really appreciate  Susan Stone: it. Bye  Joe Hendry: Joe. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it.

Riesgos de naturaleza accidental: peligros del entorno, daños ambientales y accidentes con máquinas. ¿Qué es Security? Riesgos derivados de las acciones de un oponente o atacante que lo hace con dolo. Seguridad en Escuelas En las escuelas, son los mismos alumnos los que representan un riesgo: son ellos los que se involucran en tráficos de droga o los que entre bromas ocasionan incendios. Los jóvenes entre secundaria y preparatoria están iniciando su vida sexual, donde empiezan a luchar por aprobación de los demás. Peer Pressure La presión de grupo es la influencia directa o indirecta que ejercen sobre las personas sus iguales, miembros de grupos sociales con intereses, experiencia o estatus social similares. Los miembros de un grupo de iguales tienen más probabilidades de influir en las creencias y el comportamiento de una persona. Un grupo o un individuo puede verse animado y querer seguir a sus compañeros cambiando sus actitudes, valores o comportamientos para ajustarse a los del grupo o individuo que ejerce la influencia. Para el individuo afectado por la presión de grupo, esto puede tener un efecto positivo o negativo, o ambos. Criminalidad en las escuelas En su mayoría los delitos que se cometen son robos de electrónicos y ataques de índole sexual; ambos durante los traslado de casa al plantel. Riesgos entre interacción de alumnos: violencia de género, suicidios provocados por Peer Pressure y Bullying. El Bullying es s la&

Miembro de ASIS INTERNATIONAL, capacitada ampliamente en protección ejecutiva, manejo de crisis y continuidad de negocios, manejo evasivo, defensivo y primeros auxilios.

Actualmente se desempeña como Directora Ejecutiva de Operaciones para México y Latinoamérica, de una importante empresa global, especializada en manejo de riesgos y seguridad corporativa. De los errores se aprende y en la Protección Ejecutiva esto debería de ser regla y no excepción. Patricia Fresnedo nos cuenta los errores que le han hecho ser mejor en este ámbito. Aprender a decir que no Las empresas de protección ejecutiva viven en trato constante con ejecutivos que creen tener la razón sobre su protección, esto hace que condicionen el servicio a sus prácticas y a sus someros conocimientos en seguridad. Es necesario ser firmes y decirles a los ejecutivos que si no quieren dejar procesos que ponen en riesgo su vida, no se va a continuar con el servicio. Todos los que viven con el protegido son el cliente Aunque el ejecutivo y su familia sean a los que se les debe protección, todos los que los rodean pasan a ser parte del cliente; por lo mismo no se permite que se rebase la línea entre ámbitos profesionales y personales. La comunicación de los protectores con la empresa de seguridad lo es todo Actua a la primera señal Cuando empiecen las mínimas señales que indiquen peligro para los protegidos hay que actuar. Igualmente, si es el mismo protector el que está emitiendo señales de que la relación con su ejecutivo no es buena. No conocer a tu protegido Hay que tener un conocimiento profundo y realista de los riesgos que uno puede estar corriendo en el entorno; al conocimiento de las amenazas a que uno puede enfrentarse según el principal. Así pues, el análisis personal de riesgos es una práctica que comienza con el examen de quién se es, qué se tiene, por qué se tiene, si se puede o no tener, qué se quiere y cómo se quiere obtener en relación con esos tres círculos, el individual, el familiar, el social, en ese orden.

ISC West is a key event for the Security Industry. It took a pause in 2020, but recently brought the industry back together in July. We caught up with two senior consultants who survey the floor every year to explore the show and what they learned. They found an eagerness to “get back to work”. There was a passion undergirding the event around relationships; relationships that can drive innovation and change. Although the size of the crowd was quite a bit lower than in the past, ISC managed to “get the ball rolling again”. And new innovations on the floor focused on outcomes amid societal and environmental change. One of the key insights was this “We are now monitoring our monitoring.” The point was that information (data) is the new oil and a new assurance expectation through transparent reporting is needed. These ‘dashboards' are now a condition of a security manager's evaluation of their vendors. The consultants were J. Kelly Stewart the Managing Director & CEO of Newcastle Consulting, LLC  and a former CSO. Newcastle is a premiere Security Risk Management Consultancy that provides security strategies ensuring your Piece of Mind through a proactive prevention strategy to reduce risk. Kelly draws upon more than 30 years of public and private sector experience as a Security Advisor, Subject Matter Expert, and former Chief Security Officer focused on assisting executives in directing their organizations on core competencies where they can achieve definable advantages and add value that facilitate and protect organizational objectives. Steven Oplinger, a Senior Consultant with Star Asset Security, has been in the security industry for over 28 years, primarily as a security systems designer. he has been responsible for projects nationally to include shopping malls, resorts, and government facilities.  Mr. Oplinger represents Star Asset Security at numerous security industry events  as both a presenter and keynote speaker. He is a regular contributor to security association events and trade publications. He has been one of the primary authors and instructors for the Security Industry Association Security Project Management workshop. He also is an active member of ASIS International, and has served as the Chairman of the Physical Security Council

How hard is it to be a young professional today in the Executive Protection space today?  In this week's episode, we're going to be talking to Matthew Porcelli, CPP to explore what it means to be a young professional in the industry. While we also go over some tips and tricks on how to stand out and give out some real advice for young EP professionals just breaking into the field. This is a very timely topic as there are lots of people coming into the marketplace looking for work. And while the world is opening up again with expanded opportunities, it can still be very hard to break into the industry because as some have described, there are “too many bums and not enough seats.”  So, listen in on this episode to gather some timely insights and tips as we discussed the following topics: What are the advantages of being a young professional in the security industry? How does a young professional go about promoting themselves while still remaining the gray man or the quiet professional?  What is the biggest gripe with the way young professionals are treated these days? Is it an urban myth that millennials and gen Z are too self-congratulatory and too self-entitled?  And finally, how can a young professional truly stand out?  Matthew leaves us all with some sage advice when he says:  “People in general are impatient. It's just the way it is. It's all about how you utilize the time that you're given until you realize that dream.”   More about Matthew:  Matthew Porcelli, CPP is a private security manager/consultant who has acquired more than 10 years of experience in the private security sector working for clients from international airlines to corporate global headquarters, and alongside municipal, state, and federal law enforcement partners. He is certified as a CPP, holds a Masters degree in Administration of Justice and Security, and a graduate of the FBI Citizens Academy.

Episode 16 #8 What are you doing with community partners?10 Questions for the Mayor to ask the Police and Fire Chief SeriesQuestion 8: "What are you doing with community partners regarding Active Shooter Hostile events?"Bill Godfrey:Welcome back to our next podcast. We are continuing our series on 10 questions for the mayor, the city manager, the County manager to ask their police and fire chief together. Today we are covering topic number eight what are you doing with community partners regarding active shooter hostile events? Today I'm joined by Tom Billington, retired fire chief, Stephen Shaw, Sergeant with Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Ron Otterbacher, retired division chief of the Orange County Sheriff's office and Don Tuten, Chief over Homeland Security at Jacksonville Sheriff's office. Welcome guys. Thanks for joining me. My name is Bill Godfrey. I'm one of the instructors at C3 pathways along with the gentleman I just introduced, also a retired fire chief. So Ron, let me start with you because you've got an interesting perspective from the hospital side as well as just decades of law enforcement experience. Talk a little bit about what are the things that we should be doing with our community partners and what in particular you think are the relevant things with hospitals?Ron Otterbacher:The big thing is you need to talk to them. There needs to be some adequate discussion and then the private entities or the community partners need to understand what law enforcement or fire or EMS may need should we have an active shooter event. Some of those things is do you need to create a go bag? The go bag should contain such things as your floor plans for your buildings, your keys, your access control cards. If you've got video capabilities, do you have access to view those video capabilities while the incident is ongoing? Is it a permanent position or do you have an iPad this hook to your video systems that you can, the first responders as they're moving through the building have access to that because not every place they go in a building will they be able to be accompanied by someone from your business.Bill Godfrey:Interesting stuff. Steven, I'm going to tangent over to you is just a little bit some of what Ron was talking about with the go bag planning and the response planning. You of course have a fairly sizable university in your region, right in your backyard. Talk a little bit about some of the challenges with that large student population working with the university. They have their own police department that's there on campus. Talk a little bit about working with them as a community partner in this.Stephen Shaw:A lot of times what it takes is working together ahead of time on just regular incidents, regular calls. Can we communicate over the radio? Do we know who we are? Can we navigate around campus? Can we navigate around town? A lot of this stuff is pre-work that is done before we have a significant event and then as we're planning these significant events, we need to work together on our exercises. Are we training the same things? Are we teaching the same principles? Do we have the same line of thought as far as reunification, as far as intelligence gathering? Can we use each other's facilities? All of these questions need to be asked ahead of time and a lot of it takes place on the regular call level as far as when we go to traffic crashes, can we communicate with each other? If we have a crash that happens on campus, but our jurisdiction responds to for whatever reason.Bill Godfrey:I'm curious have either one of you, Steve or Ron worked out, beyond the idea of a go bag, any type of prearranged access plans for responders. I mean obviously we don't want to get into specifics here on a general public podcast, but what are the types of things that, if you've got a large, and I'll call it a campus facility, just using that generically, whether it's a large business, a large hospital, a large school, university, large church, what are the types of things that those folks should do to prepare for receiving responders and having access beyond just the typical go bags? Where do they keep the go bags? Can you guys, Steve, you want to talk a little bit about some of that again? Avoid any specifics to those facilities, but just in a general sense?Stephen Shaw:Well, one of the things that we try to do is, especially, so say for example, a new apartment building, a lot of times they will have secured doors that have punch codes for a password or something like that. What we try to do is they have to pass that information usually along to the fire department per codes and so what we try to do as our community services people get up with the fire department, get up with those entities so that we have access to those codes ahead of time. If it's not a code, is it a key and something like a Knox box? Do we have access to the Knox box so we can get in there, finding all that stuff out and then if we have access to floor plans, can we get that information again, in my area, the fire department generally has access to floor plans of new construction. The same with the university. Do we have access to that ahead of time and our people in the field that deal with that kind of stuff? We try to remind them to try to gather that information as much as possible. So it is put out to responding officers and also to incident commanders for an event.Bill Godfrey:Yeah, it's a really interesting comment. Tom, I'm going to come over to you. Can you talk a little bit about the general idea of Knox box. Not everybody listening may actually know what that program is, but certainly something in the fire service generally has been doing for years and address a couple of those things that Steven just mentioned.Tom Billington:Yes. In the fire service, the Knox box program is a key vault that either holds keys, so you can enter a facility 24 hours a day, seven days a week or it may have some codes in it that you can access coded doors and it's usually accessible by a County fire departments and even law enforcement if they share that information. And so it's a good way to make access 24 hours a day, seven days a week to these facilities.Bill Godfrey:And Tom while you're talking about it, what are some of your perspectives from the fire and EMS side on the community partnerships or the outreaches? What are the things that when you were a fire chief concerns you about this that you'd want to meet and talk with folks about?Tom Billington:Well, most of your county managers as mine did know that the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) requires a local emergency planning council, which has, you're supposed to have politicians, responders, hospitals all involve meeting to discuss plans. As a County manager, I would want to know are we using the LEPC (Local Emergency Planning Council) to talk to these partners about an active shooter plan? How are we all responding together as a community or a county? And so if you have a LEPC (Local Emergency Planning Council), which you should, hopefully this is an issue or these issues are brought up here on a regular basis on that committee.Bill Godfrey:That's a really interesting perspective. The getting the LEPC involved, which then loops you in with a whole bunch of community partners. Don, you've got some experience with some fusion centers and I know that not everywhere in the country is necessarily covered by one, but there are a number of them that are pretty active. Is there a role here for the fusion centers? Do we need to work with them ahead of time? How does that fit?Don Tuten:Absolutely. So most places around the country do have fusion centers, either on the state level or local level and both. The local levels will talk with the state levels as well, but the local fusion centers, primary contacts are within each one of those agencies. For instance, I know locally where I'm at, our fusion center works directly with our critical infrastructure unit on some of the same things that our other guests have talked about and in conjunction with specifically keys and plans, we put critical information into our CAD system and also share it with our fusion center. For instance, some of the critical infrastructures within our areas may have products that they produce that have certain standoff distances if there is a fire or if there is an explosion or certain security concerns if somebody were to break into that facility. That information is shared with the fusion center who then works directly with our intelligence community, pushes that out in a pretty timely manner and in fact has the access also to push that out to our patrol officers while they're on scene or conducting an investigation at a specific location.Bill Godfrey:Don, speaking of pushing out information, I'm curious when we have some of these tragic events that have occurred frankly in the world, not just here in the US but where there's targeted attacks, whether it's terrorism or religious attacks. Do you reach out to the community partners and kind of brief them out, obviously, I know you can't go into specifics, but can you talk in general detail about what you would see as being best practices for sharing information or talking to those community partners?Don Tuten:Absolutely. I think each agency has to have that community element, whether it's run through the intelligence side of things through the investigative side of things or through community services within that agency to foster those relationships with your leaders of churches, synagogues, a mosque, as well as the school system as well as private schools. A lot of times private schools get overlooked because nobody wants to take that responsibility on. So that's one thing they have to be made a part of the team for lack of better terms. And it's incumbent upon the agencies that oversee those areas and provide services to them to engage in that two way communication in a timely manner, especially after a significant event in the world to foster those relationships. And then the most critical is maintain those relationships even in times when there's not a critical incidents going on around the country.Bill Godfrey:You know, it's really interesting you mentioned private schools, which some of you who work in the office with me or know this, but too long ago, my youngest daughter attends a private school and I had a conversation with the superintendent about their plans and their level of preparedness. Now granted I'm biased and obviously pay great attention to these things. Let's just say there was plenty of room for improvement which we went to work on right away. And to the school's credit, they did a 180 almost overnight and really implemented some, great cutting edge stuff. Is that a problem across all our communities? I mean, Steve or how are you guys up there in your area? Do you see that same problem where your private schools or your daycares and churches may not have the level of planning that the public schools do?Stephen Shaw:The biggest reason is because the state schools basically fall under state guidelines. State guidelines have requirements for SRO’s (School Resource Officer). They have requirements for where they keep information as far as floor plans and keys to the school. Private schools don't have those same guidelines and so we see a lot of variants. Some of them want to be prepared, they just don't have necessarily the tools to get there. So we see a lot of variance there. So it's up to individual agencies. It's up to the schools themselves to make sure that those people are educated, that they're current on best practices. And that's one of the things that we try to do with our community services people is try to reach out to these places and make sure that they're getting up to date on lock down procedures, what information they should have, do they know what to expect from responding officers in the event of an active shooter or any sort of critical incident. Making sure that they are aware of best practices surrounding how they do reunification, how they keep track of people. All that stuff comes into play and it's important and it does vary, especially for private schools.Tom Billington:And then Steve, if I could jump in. I know in my community there's a big issue with charter schools which received funding from the state but don't necessarily fall under the same rules and we found that some of the charter schools in our community do not have the same plans as the public schools, and so that's another group that needs to get together and talk about how they're going to work together.Bill Godfrey:Interesting stuff. Ron, I'm curious, I know I said this in the last one. Obviously you've got a lot of background with schools, but you've spent years running patrol. Who needs to go knock on the door of the school and make that initial contact? Is that something that we should be encouraging more at the line level trying to build those partnerships with these private schools, with these churches and talk to them about the issue? How do we get that done?Ron Otterbacher:Absolutely. Most of the public schools have SRO’s (School Resource Officer) or DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) officers, whatever there may be assigned to those schools, which is no problem. We can't negate the fact that the private schools may not have it and we've got to do community outreach. Maybe your community policing groups can go out there and talk to them. There are all kinds of groups that can do it. If for some reason the agency doesn't feel it's right for them to step in there, there's also organizations throughout the country that will help and those planning such ASIS International, which is American society for Industrial Security. They've got people that are trained and board certified. Actually they can go out there and help with those assessments too. So if the agency doesn't feel that they should be the ones stepping in, they should have community partners in those organizations. They can step in and also help in those areas.Bill Godfrey:Interesting stuff. And I know on the fire side we're having some really serious conversation at the national level about the fire safety codes and the alarms in schools and the fire alarms being triggered and some of those not necessarily being the greatest plans for some of these hostile events. And we're trying to work through those. And unfortunately that's going to take time and there aren't necessarily easy answers in that. Gentleman, I can't thank you enough for taking the time to join me this afternoon to talk about this topic. And if you're listening, I hope that you will return and join us for our next in this podcast series, we'll be coming up to question nine where we're going to dive in a little bit more into schools, specifically both public and private, to talk about what is our comfort level with not only their violent event procedures on campus, but also their plans for offsite reunification. Hope you'll join us next time. Thank you.
