EXAMPLES of LEADERSHIP & PROJECT MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE

In 1994, Tropical Storm Alberto caused $500 Million in damages to Albany, GA.  The floods displaced more than 22,000 Albanians and damaged 6,500 buildings.  President Clinton declared 31 counties in South Georgia a national disaster area.  Roy was the driving force behind the creation of a multi-agency flood fraud task force that included investigators from FEMA, GBI, Albany Police, SBA, and several other agencies.  The flood task force investigated many incidents, made numerous arrests, and greatly reduced the amount of fraud during this period.

As primary team leader and case agent, planned and executed large static and mobile surveillances in multi-jurisdictional environments.  One example included the simultaneous surveillance of over 30 business locations, with over 50 law enforcement personnel.  This case eventually resulted in the arrests and convictions of over 15 gang members who had robbed multiple banks and other businesses.

As primary team leader, planned and executed dozens of search warrants, usually in multi-jurisdictional environments.  For example, one incident involved approximately 50 law enforcement personnel on a long-time active and completely fortified, illegal gambling casino, which had armed “guards.”  This case also involved corrupt public officials.  Other search warrant matters included illegal narcotics, armed robbers, property theft rings, weapons cases, the counterfeit movie industry, and terrorism financing.

As Senior Resident Agent, managed the security, communications, property, equipment, administration, and liaison contacts of a small FBI office for many years.  Performed similar activities as Primary or Secondary Relief Squad Supervisor.  Similarly served as the senior FBI agent at the U.S. Embassy, Cairo, Egypt, when both the assigned permanent Legat and Assistant Legat were away on extended business.

Successfully planned and investigated various cases with highly technical issues, such as insurance fraud, financial institution fraud, health care fraud, excise tax fraud, etc.  One example was a complex kickback scheme perpetrated by a gas-line cathodic protection consultant who conspired with employees from multiple municipalities.  The predication for this case was a complaint from the Georgia Public Service Commission.

Led and managed a USMC unit of over 100 Marines as Platoon Commander.

Designed and managed complex USMC mobile tactical communications networks.  This job included the security, management, and maintenance of personnel, supplies, weapons, fuel, large generators, approximately 40 large mobile communication units, and over 50 tactical vehicles, for a two-year period.

Was the “Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge” of a small select USMC unit that traveled continuously throughout Asia, Europe and the U.S. for nearly two years.  This job entailed the air and ground transportation, security, and set-up, of two tons of technical equipment, several times a week.

Managed the scheduling of airspace, shooting, bomb, and tank ranges at a large USMC training facility, often used simultaneously by hundreds of Marines, during a year period.

Managed, and was responsible for, the ammunition and ordnance needs of a 1000+ member USMC unit for over a year in an international environment.  This job entailed the security, acquisition, transportation, and issuance of many tons of high explosives, via land, sea, and air.  This included a deployment onto four Naval vessels and a cross-decking at sea.

Led and managed a USMC 50+ member unit as Platoon Sergeant for an extended period in an international environment.

Served on very large special cases, in various capacities, including as a team leader, regular investigator, post-blast investigator, crime scene investigator, and in event security roles.  Cases included the Atlanta Federal Prison Riots, 1988 Democratic National Convention in Atlanta, 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, the bombings of Centennial Park, Sandy Springs Abortion Clinic, and the Otherside gay bar; Unabomber, Walter Leroy Moody mail bomb murders, and various matters related to the attacks of September 11, 2001.
