How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
As a Postal Service Inspector, I was assigned to The NY Division's Violence Interdiction Team for 8 years. Initially unhappy, the redeeming value of the work increased my interest to help Postal Managers, Employees and Postal Unions address incidents of violence using multiple tactics & strategies. In retirement, I put my interest to work in the corporate sector helping develop workplace violence prevention policy, plans, procedures & training as well as assessing & evaluating workplace security posture. I have loved my work over ever since.
