Internationally, Jim has worked as a Police and Military consultant/trainer for the US Dept. of Justice in Indonesia, Pakistan, and Bosnia. He was formidable in tailoring democratic policing training material to the political environment in the assigned country. Because of his work in this arena, he was hired as the Sr. Executive Advisor to the Minister of the Interior in the Republic of Srpska to help foster a positive working environment in post-war Bosnia. Jim also teaches Active Shooter Response, Critical Incident Management and Anti-Terrorist Operations for the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center and is recognized for developing current curriculum geared towards First Responders as well as Commanders.
