Introduction: I have been involved in law enforcement and corrections all of my adult life, whether it be government law enforcement or in the private or retail industry.
I am a marine corps veteran (Vietnam war), former West Coast military liaison to presidents Nixon and Ford, assistant operations chief at marine corps air station, El Toro, CA, where I arranged and coordinated three major air shows, and test administrator for the armed forces recruiting command in Oakland, CA.
I served as a chief investigator at the general dynamics plant in San Diego, and provided armed interstate escorting of government-classified hardware and executive protection.
I have completed several workman's compensation cases in my career and am familiar with surveillance equipment. My expertise also includes pre-employment background investigations.
I have held government security clearances up to and including a white house clearance (top-secret level). I was employed full-time by target stores for three and a half years as an electronics security/flow supervisor (asset protection). I have managed a 75-man plant protection force while employed with a government contractor in Glendale, CA.
I have written security operations manuals for two aerospace companies in California and have conducted security education classes on many occasions. These classes numbered from 30 to 100 students. I have also served as a communications security (COMSEC) custodian and have worked as a part-time store detective and sports writer as well as past ownership of my own firearms business.
