Why don't you tell everyone a little bit about yourself as well?

So I am retired NYPD.

I retired in 2005 out of the Counterterrorism Division in Brooklyn.

I continue to conduct counterterrorism training.

I was contacted by the Center for Domestic Preparedness in Addison, which does live agent training that I already was an instructor for.

After 9-11, where the department wanted to be prepared for the next attack, worked for the federal government as a subcontractor on a mobile training team with Richie Teamsma, Paul Yerku from the bomb squad.

I actually did bomb lectures.

GD, do you believe that the federal government should be stepping up, doing a little more than what they're doing in regards to, again, benefits for all the first responders and their families?
