A Proven Policing Model—Built for Today’s Threat Landscape

Long before today’s convergence of social unrest, extremism, and institutional vulnerability, Dr. Pastor introduced the concept of Public Safety Policing long before it entered the mainstream conversation. His then-groundbreaking book, Terrorism & Public Safety Policing, laid out a strategic reorientation of policing in the aftermath of the War on Terror—one designed to address the emerging realities of extremism, asymmetric threats, and evolving urban risk.
 

In 2009, this model was considered forward leaning and unconventional. It was developed with a clear-eyed expectation: that extremism and terrorism would increase, and that traditional policing models would be insufficient to meet those challenges. 
 

Today, those predictions are no longer theoretical. Those dynamics now directly affect corporations, critical infrastructure operators, universities, healthcare systems, and global enterprises.
 

In the wake of defunding and re-imaging movements—and with lawlessness taking hold in many urban environments—the conditions that fuel extremism and terroristic activity are firmly in place. What was once a cutting-edge framework is now a necessary evolution. The moment for widespread implementation of Public Safety Policing has arrived.
 

Today, in an environment shaped by ideological extremism, reputational exposure, workplace violence, activist-driven disruption, and heightened duty-of-care expectations, the relevance of Public Safety Policing has expanded beyond government. What was once a policing framework is now a strategic risk-management lens for organizations responsible for protecting people, assets, operations, and brand trust.
 

At its core, this model is built on three integrated pillars:
 

• Order Maintenance Methods — restoring stability, deterrence, order, and predictable operating conditions to reduce exposure to disruption, liability, and cascading risk. These are the foundation of public safety and ordered liberty.
   

• Surveillance Technologies & Methods — leveraging lawful monitoring, data, and intelligence-driven information analysis to identify and disrupt threats early, and if needed, to use for investigative and prosecutorial purposes. 
   

• Protective Methods — proactive measures designed to safeguard personnel, facilities, leadership, and critical operations before harm occurs, and during a crisis.
   

These principles are further expanded in Dr. Pastor’s latest book, You Say You Want a Revolution: A Compelling & Cautionary Tale of What Lies Ahead, which examines how social unrest, ideological movements, and governance decisions converge to shape future security risks.
 

Advisory & Speaking Engagements

Dr. Pastor works with leaders who cannot afford reactive thinking. He advises and consults on how Public Safety Policing can be realistically implemented, adapted, and refined to fit the unique legal, operational, and cultural realities of your organization or jurisdiction.
 

His guidance is not theoretical. It is grounded in decades of frontline experience, strategic foresight, and an unflinching understanding of what lies ahead.
 

Dr. Pastor is available for board briefings, executive consultations, and strategic advisory engagements.
