FALLS CHURCH, Va. - (Business Wire) Altegrity Security Consulting (ASC) CEO William J. Bratton will be honored this week, on Saturday, Nov. 7, by the Los Angeles Police Foundation at True Blue—the foundation’s annual signature event—for preventing crimes, saving lives, and building a stronger community as the Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). Mr. Bratton joined ASC earlier this week after an eight-year tenure as LAPD Chief. ASC is a new business unit in Altegrity, Inc.—the global screening and security solutions provider—that provides products, services, and solutions to law enforcement agencies and the federal government, both in the United States and overseas. This year’s True Blue gala is expected to draw more than 800 guests, including business, entertainment and community leaders, police officers, civic officials, friends, and supporters of the Los Angeles Police Foundation and former Chief Bratton. The event also marks the grand opening of the new police headquarters and the LAPD’s 140th anniversary. Conan O’Brien, host of the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, will be the master of ceremonies.
Founded in 1998, the Los Angeles Police Foundation supports the LAPD by helping establish business and individual partnerships within the community and by providing additional funding not provided in the city budget for LAPD programs and equipment. To date, the Los Angeles Police Foundation has awarded more than $9 million in grants to the LAPD and scholarships to students preparing for careers in law enforcement.
Mr. Bratton is the only person to serve as chief executive of both the LAPD and the New York Police Department (NYPD). He has established an international reputation for re-engineering police departments, creating solutions to intractable challenges facing civilian criminal justice systems, and leveraging technology to fight crime.
As CEO of ASC, Mr. Bratton will oversee strategic growth, recruiting, business development, and program operations. ASC will assist USIS, Altegrity’s government business, in broadening the range of products, services, and solutions provided to law enforcement agencies and the federal government, both in the United States and overseas. USIS has already trained more than 10,000 students in over 50 countries in police, anti-terrorism, and counterinsurgency techniques, and presently has training teams operating in Iraq, Indonesia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Colombia.
ASC and USIS are expanding their team of experienced law enforcement and criminal justice system professionals interested in serving as independent contractors on new contracts.
