He currently serves as the executive director of the National Center for Prevention of Community Violence. In addition, he is a school safety and discipline specialist with the Virginia Department of Education. Mr. Kipper served 26 years in police service in Newport News Virginia and was active as a school resource officer and school police supervisor.
Bobby Kipper began his career with the Newport News Police Department in 1977. During his 26-year career, he served in the areas of patrol, investigations, media relations, and as executive assistant to the Chief of Police. Following his decorated 26 years’ service with the department, he served as the director of Virginia’s Gang Reduction Program at the Office of the Attorney General.
His expertise in the area of community and school violence prevention has been recognized by the White House, Congress, and a number of states across America. His best-selling book, “No Colors: 100 Ways to Keep Gangs from Taking Away Our Communities,” has been instrumental in developing gang reduction programs in communities across America.
His continued efforts in communities and policing have combined in his newest book released in January 2017. He teamed up with Virginia Tech professor Dr. Scott Geller which implemented Actively Caring for People (AC4P) after the Virginia Tech tragedy to promote healing and create a positive cultural change using behavioral science. Mr. Kipper worked with Dr. Geller to adapt the AC4P concept to law enforcement. This concept became a book; “Actively Caring for People Policing: Building Positive Police/Citizen Relationships.” This book is meant to work with current community policing programs using proven behavioral science methods to cultivate a more positive role in and with their communities.
In addition, he has developed and presented a number of courses with the University of North Florida, Institute of Police Technology and Management; University of Memphis, Mid-South Training Institute; and the International Association of Chiefs of Police in the key areas of prevention and organizational leadership. His current best-selling book, “Performance Driven Thinking,” is serving as a new direction for public safety leadership in America.

Dr. Pritzl has presented several times to multiple districts regarding the protocols of returning to school in the following areas: transportation, testing, social gathering areas, classroom distancing, lunchroom, recess, and athletic events.

His career in education began as a teacher at West Charlotte High School, and he later served as a member of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Board of Education.
Johnson believes that we must give all students a great start and a navigable path to success. His priorities include early childhood education – making sure students are ready to start kindergarten and can read proficiently by the end of third grade; and career pathways to success – ensuring students understand early that there are many ways to be successful in the 21st Century, and whether their choice is a four-year degree, a two-year degree, military service, or a post-secondary technical training program, our schools must help prepare them to reach their American Dream.
To deliver the education our students deserve, Johnson is transforming the state’s education agency to respond better to the needs of parents, students and educators. State leaders must foster innovative solutions to attack persistent problems faced by students and teachers in our current system. We must support students and parents by updating our curriculum standards so that they make sense to parents and educators and promote progress for students. We must move away from high-stakes standardized testing and toward a system that provides accountability for students and educators while maximizing instructional time and minimizing lengthy summative tests.
Another priority for Johnson is school safety. He has worked with the legislature to increase funding for school resource officers and mental-health personnel so that one student’s challenges do not become a schoolwide tragedy.
Mark Johnson is not only an education leader and former teacher, but he is also a father of a daughter in one of North Carolina’s public elementary schools, making improving education in North Carolina a personal mission for him.We accept Purchase Orders11:15 - 12:00

Dr. Lawler is also a 1992 graduate of the United States Air Force Academy, where he studied engineering, political science, and national security studies, and he is a graduate of Strayer University where he earned a Master of Science Degree in Business Administration. Dr. Lawler’s doctoral research and dissertation study focused upon strategies for the disruption of an active shooter event or terrorist attack upon an American school or church.
Dr. Lawler is currently a Supervisory Special Agent with the US Department of Justice/Drug Enforcement Administration.
