A Law Enforcement View of Terrorism

Security threats today come not just from powerful rogue nations but also from individual terrorists with unprecedented access to weapons and information. Since 9/11, intelligence and security experts have placed a stronger emphasis on discovering their changing tactics and examining their different ideologies. Drawing on 30 years of experience with the FBI, Oliver "Buck" Revell will analyze terrorist acts of the past and discuss the challenges facing law enforcement in its response to future threats. A Q & A session will follow.

Buck Revell ended his 30-year career at the FBI as Associate Deputy Director, a position in which he oversaw all investigative, Counter-Terrorism, Counter-Intelligence and International programs. He took charge of a joint FBI/CIA operation, which led to the first overseas apprehension of a terrorist. After leaving the FBI, he served as President of the Law Enforcement Television Network before founding the Revell Group International, a network of former FBI, intelligence, and military senior officials who provide counsel for international businesses.

Mr. Revell is President of Revell Group International, Inc., Rowlett, Texas; Chairman of Visiphor Corp. of Vancouver, Canada; Senior Advisor to Synfuels International of Dallas, Texas; a director of Vance Security USA, Inc., Oakton Virginia; and a Trustee of the Center for American & International Law, Plano, Texas.
