    Standing Post Presents My First Foot Beat - Ep. 018 - Sisters In Law Enforcement

    In our special #WomensHistoryMonth episode of "My First Foot Beat," we're joined by an inspiring trio of siblings who've made their mark in law enforcement.

    Sgt. Tech. Natasha Rowles, alongside her sisters DEA Special Agent Raynette Kornickey and Metropolitan Police Department Commander Tatjana Savoy, delve into their unique journeys into law enforcement careers.

    The episode sheds light on the importance of support systems, the hurdles they've overcome and the impact of having a seat at the table where they actively contribute to positive changes within their fields. Drawing inspiration from their mother and other pioneering women in law enforcement, they share career highlights and the inspiration behind their commitment to service.

    Ep. #061 - Countering Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) with Special Agent Robert Waltman

    Ep. #061 - Countering Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) with Special Agent Robert Waltman

    In this episode of Standing Post, we're joined by Special Agent Robert Waltman, who discusses one of our lesser known programs: Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS). This initiative focuses on countering the emerging threat that drones, with their small size and high speed, pose to our protectees. As an expert in the technology--Waltman started using drones when they were known as multi-rotors and required pilots to build them from parts off the shelf--he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience about this issue, and tells us a little about his non-traditional path to becoming a Secret Service Special Agent.

    If you have an interest in drone technology in an exciting and challenging environment, consider a career in the Secret Service. We’re expanding our Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems program to include special agents, officers and technical professionals that are familiar with drones and want to have an impact in the world. You can start your Secret Service journey at secretservice.gov or usajobs.gov.

    Ep. #060 - Presidential Protection with DAD Darryl Volpicelli

    In this episode of Standing Post, we have the unique opportunity to speak to Deputy Assistant Director Darryl Volpicelli, the former Special Agent in Charge of the Presidential Protective Detail. While he is currently an executive in our agency, as the SAIC of PPD, DAD Volpicelli was responsible for every element of security for the President, whether that was in the White House or traveling throughout the US and abroad. We have a frank discussion with him about the stresses of such a high-stakes job, the inner workings of what it takes to protect the President - including the secret trip into the Ukraine by train - and why it’s such a rewarding position that every agent in the Secret Service works towards.

    If you’re seeking an exciting and challenging career in a fast-paced environment, consider a career in the Secret Service. We’re always looking for special agents, officers and technical professionals that want to have an impact in the world. You can start your Secret Service journey at secretservice.gov or usajobs.gov.

Greg the Ressurector ,

How not to bake a cake for God’s Birthdate

Greg McKimmy here from Rev 11 The Ressurection of the Dead. Rule 1 Don’t be a Glutton, don’t steal people’s ID’s their passwords, their cellphones, I know “Hillary “, “Hillary Clinton”, “The Secty “ , and most of all “Secty “ Clinton. Stealing the reward from the State Department Rewards for Justice Program was just the beginning for your “Hillary Clinton “. What you should have done was turn over the reward to its rightful recipient. I know you were listening on a wiretap at your location while I was calling in GPS and other significant information on Mullah Omar. But that was just the Beginning. You “felt” that you could continue the masquerade and steal from the buildup of Heaven. Steal designs without recourse. Please ask The President, and we have spent a considerable amount of time visiting over the last several months to Proceed with pressing charges, as the only way that this will be resolved is in a court of law. Also seven charges of attempted murder of Greg McKimmy. Thank You. Please get in touch with me, needs to be a Federal Case

Also, I apologize for requiring the use of your review site, please See to it that this it recurved A.S.A.P. As the bullets often fly at me, but since I AM already a Saint this must cease 🌂. Pick on a Witness trained by Jesus Christ, Moses and Elijah. Other than shoot Jesus Chtist what else have you done

Super Interesting and Well Paced

I am fascinated to hear about the uniformed officers. It’s so interesting to hear about their stories and paths. It really puts the human element front and center. The episodes are short and sweet, which makes it easy to consume. And Natasha Rowles does a great job as interviewer!
