A candid presentation and conversation on how combatting violence and crime is at the core of our national security, and requires much more than community policing. Former FBI Agent and Senior Leader Rob Saale discusses how his experience fighting gang violence and terrorism shaped his understanding of what is really required to build peace at home and abroad. In particular, Rob outlines why arrests alone do not lead to secure and stable communities and how fully funded and impactful community services are absolutely necessary for security.Rob Saale is the founder and CEO of Star Consulting and Investigations LLC, an international security firm in Alexandria, VA with a broad reach that includes experienced professional resources spanning five continents. Rob has been called upon to consult with companies, law firms, and individuals regarding risk mitigation for organizations and individuals operating in, traveling to and living in high risk areas abroad.Before establishing the Star Consulting and Investigations, Rob had a distinguished federal law enforcement career as an FBI Special Agent and executive leader. Most recently Rob served as the Director of the Hostage Recovery Fusion Cell, a U.S. Government Interagency organization directly responsible to the President of the United States for coordinating recovery efforts for U.S. hostages held abroad. Rob also served as Assistant Special Agent in Charge of one of the FBI’s top 13 US-based field offices where he successfully led numerous federal investigations resulting in hundreds of arrests, indictments, and convictions of violent and white-collar criminals, terror suspects, and fugitives from justice. As a field Agent, Rob was highly regarded receiving numerous awards for investigative excellence. Rob also served as an FBI SWAT commander, SWAT Team member, and was one of the original members of the FBI Director’s Protective Detail.
Ryan served our country in Ramadi and Fallujah with the U.S. Marine Corps in some of the most intense fighting of the Iraq war. Ryan reached platoon sergeant status and received combat promotions and awards as an infantryman as well as being recognized as Marine of the year in 2005 and Non-Commissioned Officer of the year in 2006. He also trained Iraqi Police and Navy Corpsmen in infantry tactics. He earned a Naval Achievement Medal for his Combat Valor. Ryan has been with the Department of State for four years. He served on the Ambassador Susan Rice's Protective Detail for three years and currently serves as a General Services Specialist. In addition to his service Ryan Tate has always been an animal lover. After returning from one of his tours in Iraq he was deeply affected by a program he watched on TV that showed an African rhino still alive and suffering greatly with half its face hacked off solely for its horn. Tate, realizing that criminal poaching networks operate very much like the intricate terrorist networks in the Middle East, set out to repurpose his skills into an effort to stop the slaughter of these magnificent endangered animals. Many Post 9-11 U.S. veterans often have difficulty leveraging their combat skills in a conventional civilian vocation. Ryan realized these vets could benefit profoundly from the opportunity to utilize their valuable military skills in combat-related areas protecting endangered wildlife in Africa and saving lives. With Tate's military experience and savvy navigating the tumultuous world of “boots on the ground” conservation, he's able to speak directly to the unique skills that veterans can bring to anti-poaching efforts making a vital difference for endangered species and veterans that now have a renewed sense of purpose. “take negative criticism as just criticism or as just help. Don't look over all look past negativity it's happening for a reason and so it should be focused on but it shouldn't be taken to heart. You have got to grow a thick-skinned, you have got to be able to take a punch, you have got to be able to take several punches to the mouth over and over and over again. But if you don't get up you are not an entrepreneur – you are not. So be prepared to take a hit, grow thick skin, don't let it alter your direction, let it improve your direction and the efficiency and the speed that you are headed in. And just take everything as a learning lesson. It's all part of the journey. The Quicker that you can take criticism as a learning lesson instead of negativity the quicker that you are going to get your mission done and certainly the less years are going to be taken off of your life from the stress that comes with that negativity. So as negative as it is try to just take it in stride and build off of it.”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-7cX
