Gary Neill, CPP, PSP

At the Police Academy, I received training to prepare for the countless unexpected and unknown situations that I may encounter each day and how to respond effectively. As my 27-year law enforcement career came to an end, I prepared myself for the transition to the private sector by joining a team of security professionals at ASIS who provided me with outstanding advice, guidance, support, and training–which prepared me to make this transition. By utilizing the vast array of people and assets that ASIS offers, this transition was not unexpected and unknown but more successful and proficient.
