About

Most organizations aren’t equipped to identify safety blind spots until it’s too late. I help schools, churches, and businesses reduce risk through thorough site security assessments and tailored safety plans. With 20+ years of law enforcement experience and CPTED strategies, I’ve helped dozens of organizations create safer spaces. Let’s connect if you want to uncover hidden risks before they become tragedies.

    -Conducted threat assessments for K–12 campuses & college campuses -Reduced liability exposure for multi-site church & school campuses -Delivered CPTED-based audits with 95% implementation rate Vulnerabilities have a higher rate of discovery when an outside set of eyes, with known experience in security, are utilized. As an example, lighting is one of the most common concepts in CPTED strategies to reduce crime and violence. This often overlooked concept is explained to clients, who are unaware of the details associated with lighting. One detail is the suggested candle power (brightness) for specified areas. Or foliage and landscaping preventing illumination of the targeted area. A meta-analysis of 17 separate studies showed an overall decrease by 14% for all crime. https://bra.se/english/publications/archive/2021-12-21-effectiveness-of-street-lighting-in-preventing-crime-in-public-places
