Scheduled Events

Spotlight Speaker – SSA Jim Clemente, Profiler 

Jim Clemente was a FBI Criminal Profiler, undercover agent on Wall Street, New York prosecutor and helped bring in the D.C. Sniper – that was all before he went to Hollywood.

Jim was the technical advisor, freelance writer and eventually a producer on CBS’ Criminal Minds. He served as a technical advisor on Secrets & Lies, Quantico, Misconduct and Blindspot. He was the creator and producer of Manhunt: Unabomber on Discovery. Additionally he has appeared on numerous documentaries and other shows.

Jim will share his experiences as an FBI agent and Criminal Profiler, teach on criminal profiling as well as talk about his time in Hollywood.

Spotlight Speaker – Dave Cullen, Journalist & Author 

Dave Cullen is an amazing journalist who was on the ground at Columbine and spent ten years reporting on the monumental event. The culmination was the book “Columbine” which dispelled many commonly held myths about school shooters. Dave also wrote Parkland after an inspired investigation into not only the shooting, but the impact it made. 

Dave will be live online to do a Q&A with host Linnell Burton. Dave has extensive knowledge about schools shooters and has studied them more than probably anyone outside a federal agency.

Dave has written for pretty much every prestigious news organization and appeared on broadcast news across the world.  

Spotlight Speaker – Chief Bobby Brown, the Waverly Floods

Humphreys county is a small, rural, idyllic county on the banks of the Tennessee River. But when 17 inches of rain fell in 24 hours, a disaster of Biblical proportions occurred. Chief Bobby Brown will lead a panel of public safety and school officials on how this community implemented ICS procedures, FEMA protocols and on the spot problem solving to mitigate a horrific disaster that left over 20 dead and missing. Without their actions, many more would have perished.

Forensics Specialist – Chief Jeff Branyon

Chief Branyon has served in many roles in his time in law enforcement – jailer, patrol, special agent, crime scene investigator, marshal and chief. But there is one case Jeff has been associated with more than all his other work – the serial killer Gary Hilton.

As Jeff reviews his work on the case, you will learn more about legal issues, forensic technique, interview methods and court preparation from a master forensicist. Jeff will review basic forensic techniques as well as state of the art technologies.

Jeff is currently the Chief of Police in Baldwin, Georgia – a quiet town in North Georgia.
