| A Message From the Executive Director |
The VCPA continues to provide renowned experts in their field who can provide cutting edge training to our members and others in areas of crime prevention and threat assessments. During our "Security Technology Training Week" we are pleased to introduce Thomas Walsh, Operations Director for Falken Industries, LLC, of Manassas Virginia. Falken Industries provides a myriad of security products and services to the public and private sector. Mr. Walsh, has a B.A. in political science from the University of Florida, is a Navy Persian Gulf War combat veteran, a Department of Defense certified anti-terrorism instructor and a NRA certified law enforcement instructor. While working for the Federal Protective Service, Mr. Walsh was responsible for the risk analysis of all new construction and major renovation projects undertaken by the US General Services Administration in the national capital region. Working with many of the largest architectural firms in the nation, Mr. Walsh ensures that physical security and anti-terrorism standards are incorporated into the designs of government, corporate, and privately owned facilities based on realistic threats. He has lectured to senior agency leaders and officials at major organizations such as the Central Intelligence Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the US Marshal's Service, Lockheed Martin and the City of Portland, Oregon. He currently lives in Northern Virginia with his wife and son.
The Virginia Crime Prevention Association is a recognized national leader in providing specialized training. Through our association with experts in the field of law enforcement, criminal justice, corrections and private security we are able to provide customized training to police agencies, federal and state organizations and private and public corporations. We also work to advance the "best practices in crime prevention" at the local level.
