Senior Security Management - Significant Experience

Mr. Dean Michael, formerly employed for over 28 years as a Sr. Criminal Investigator with the U.S. Marshals Service, is a dedicated and highly skilled professional with over 34 total years of progressive law enforcement/security experience, more than half of which was in management and leadership roles. During this time, Mr. Michael acquired extensive experience in evaluating physical sites for security deficiencies which afforded him the opportunity to gain access to thousands of structures at their weakest points for the purpose of executing lawful arrest warrants. As the result of his many years of experience working for the U.S. Marshals Service in various U.S. Courthouse facilities, Mr. Michael has gained an in-depth knowledge and expertise in security aspects of controlled access environments. In addition to his sworn responsibility of providing protection for Federal judges, Federal Magistrates, and U.S. Attorneys, Michael had many years of experience working with and supervising contract security personnel (Court Security Officers) within these facilities. He is an honest and dependable individual with proven effectiveness in stressful, competitive, and challenging situations. The last ten years of his career he directly supervised the efforts of approximately fifty sworn Special Deputy U.S. Marshals in their day to day activities resulting in the capture of nearly 8,000 violent fugitives. Each and every day, Mr. Michael was required to evaluate the mission at hand and make sound, and oftentimes split second, decisions which directly affected the success of the mission and more importantly the safety of his team. Being on the front line of countless significant incidents (ie. emotionally charged striking coal miners and their families, barricaded criminal suspects, and regular violent and confrontational suspect behavior), Mr. Michael has had extensive experience in handling crisis management situations. He is a college graduate with a B.A. in Public Administration (3.90 GPA), and Associate Degrees in Criminal Justice and Police Technology. Mr. Michael demonstrates a strong work ethic and professional demeanor, exceptional research and problem solving skills, and the capacity to maintain strict confidentiality of sensitive information. He has earned a reputation within the law enforcement community of uncompromising devotion to service excellence and is a proven leader who prides himself in “leading by example.” Mr. Michael has been the recipient of over 50 performance based awards during his career with the U.S. Marshals Service.
