“We have a complex community with many tenants, people and events that include measurable risks. We identify both minimal and elevated risks, build security programs around them and measure our results.”
Dan Ryan’s story is classic, happy and all-American that those entering the profession can learn from and hope to emulate. “I guess you could say I started at the bottom and worked my way up.” Yes, you could say that Dan, but that would be understatement – Dan’s expertise and perfection have helped him rise through the ranks at a meteoric pace.
“My background in the Military Police as a white hat, patrol MP was a great experience for the private sector. In the 1980s I became a protective service agent in the U.S. Army providing executive protection and travel security to mitigate active threats such as terror against Army leadership. Those threats were very real. During this time I also provided training for MP companies and battalions.” Dan planned to become a police officer, but never quite got there. “I started in 1989 as a part-time officer at the Stratford Square Mall in Bloomingdale, Illinois.” And his ability to proactively create value through security with a focus on service was obvious.
