Don L. Rondeau is Named IACSP Homeland Security Executive of the Year
The International Association for Counter Terrorism & Security Professionals (IACSP) announced that Don L. Rondeau has been named Homeland Security Executive of the Year
Washington D.C.(PRWEB) November 29, 2004 -- This award, selected by the IASCP
Board of Directors, recognizes the security executive that has consistently
demonstrated an unwavering commitment to international counter terrorism and
security excellence through their innovation, dedication, teamwork, and training
of other security professionals over the past year. This year, on behalf of the
Board of Directors for the International Association for Counter Terrorism &
Security Professionals, CEO Steven J. Fustero is proud to announce that Don L.
Rondeau has been selected as the IACSP Homeland Security Executive of the
Year.
Don L. Rondeau has been selected for the IACSP Homeland Security
Executive of the Year Award for his extraordinary work in developing a
scientifically verifiable profile of a Red Team Leader. Furthermore, Rondeau’s
work as the Highway Watch Program Director of Information Sharing and Analysis
Center(ISAC) is ground breaking. In this capacity he directs the intelligence
efforts of this multi million-dollar program in concert with elements of DHS,
TSA, FBI, and other federal agencies. This level of partnership between the
public and private sector for the purpose of protecting America is
unprecedented.
In response to this announcement, Mr. Rondeau said,
“First, I must acknowledge the many patriots who have put me in a position to
make a difference. I accept this honor on behalf of the nation’s law enforcement
and counter terrorism professionals as well as the members of the Highway
Community who are out there everyday, doing their part to keeping America
rolling. The Highway Watch Program enhances the ability of members of the
highway community to take an active role in protecting themselves and the
nation. Truckers, bus drivers, toll takers, and many others all contribute to
the security of the nation. These are the true heroes.” Rondeau continues,
“There are many people that have put me in a position to make a difference. The
nature of the work we do prohibits me from naming them. To these teammates,
elements of DHS and TSA Maritime and Land, I thank you and pledge my continued
support. Additionally, the effort and support given to me by two key members of
my staff has been paramount to my ability to move this program forward. Every
step I have taken with regards to the Highway Watch Program, I have done so with
the full support of intelligence analysts Janet St. John and Ben
Mannes.”
About Don L. Rondeau - Don has had a broad and distinguished
career having served as a contract investigator for the Department of Interior
and the chief security consultant for the Embassies of the State of Kuwait and
Qatar. As chief executive officer of the publicly traded Rondeau & Smith
Inc., Don cultivated numerous relationships in the Middle East to include
reaching a teaming agreement for special security projects with Middle Eastern
security group Shamco. Mr. Rondeau is the former Director of Asset Protection
for Boat America and the former Director of Loss Prevention for Blockbuster
Entertainment. He has worked with and trained various law enforcement agencies
and civilian experts alike. Mr. Rondeau is a friend of the trucking community,
having served as the American Trucking Associations Director of the Safety and
Loss Prevention Management Counsel. Mr.Rondeau is also the National Security
Advisor for the Heart of American Quilt Project.
According to IACSP
President and CEO Steven J. Fustero, “In the rapidly changing intelligence
community, Don is a professional who has demonstrated the ability to creatively
apply private sector principles and practices to the war against terror. He has
done this unselfishly, without any other motivation other than to protect lives.
I believe that he represents the next generation of Homeland Security Executive.
While we as a nation struggle to identify ways to enhance the quality of
intelligence, Rondeau seems to be able to steer us all toward sharing. He has
served as the IACSP Washington D.C. Chapter Director as well as the
Transportation Security Advisor. You will be hard pressed to get him to take
credit for anything. I think his humble nature is what aids his ability to gain
support and connect the public and private sectors in the way that he does. As I
understand it, his Red Team Method is another example of his ability to blend
disciplines and techniques and creatively apply them. He investigated a series
of armed robberies approximately 10 years ago, sought a scientific explanation
as to how he has been successful in solving such crimes, and put the findings of
his research down on paper for all of us to understand. He now applies these
techniques to the war against terror, with great success.”
