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.

David deployed to combat four times, including with Joint Special Operations, before being badly wounded-in-action while serving as a combat advisor in Afghanistan. After medically retiring from active duty due to his wounds, David worked as a Senior Intelligence Officer for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). David’s assignments with DIA included the Joint Staff and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) – United States Northern Command. For his exceptional service to the United States, Dr. Andrews was named the 2015 Department of Defense Outstanding Civilian Employee with a Disability.
Dr. Andrews currently serves as the President of the Remount Foundation – a non-profit organization that helps military veterans and their families heal and build resilience through the use of equine assisted learning. David is the Founder and President of Purple Heart Consulting - a management consulting firm specializing in resilience, authentic leadership, and organizational culture. David also served two terms as Colorado’s elected state commander for the Military Order of the Purple Heart, one of the most revered veterans’ service organizations in the United States. David has met with US government leaders - including the President, Congress, and the Secretaries of Defense and Veterans Affairs - on the challenges facing Wounded Warriors. Dr. Andrews holds a Doctorate in Management, is an award-winning author on leadership, and is a frequent keynote speaker on resilience, suicide awareness and prevention, and overcoming adversity. Dr. Andrews’ academic work includes serving as a university adjunct professor in management and strategy.
Very low key and humble about his service to the United States, David credits his successful recovery to his wife and their four children for supporting and pushing him every day to get better and adjust to life with injuries. David’s military awards and decorations include the Purple Heart medal and other awards and accolades consistent with combat veterans fortunate enough to return home.The 5C Framework©, developed by award-winning leadership expert and combat wounded veteran Dr. David Andrews, describes the five elements needed to develop and sustain resilience: community, connection, commitment, culture, and courage. Resilience – particularly against suicide (the ultimate failure of resilience) – is a community challenge requiring a community approach, and thus requiring partnerships between academia, industry, government, faith-based organizations, and non-profit organizations. Resilience is a human endeavor grounded in connections between people. For many trauma survivors with post-traumatic stress, connection with others is the greatest hurdle in healing. By helping others develop the ability connect with others, we give them the tools to build a deep well of resilience to draw from in adversity. Commitment reminds us as individuals and organizations to take tangible actions to build resilience as part of our identity. While we have reminders of resilience throughout the year (i.e., Veterans Day, Memorial Day), we must commit each day to foster resilience as part of who we are. Culture is the heartbeat of resilience, and it is often the attribute that organizations talk most about and yet don’t know how to address. Every member of the organization shares ownership of the organizational culture, and organizational culture is the lens through which we build resilient organizations. Using the tenets of Appreciative Inquiry, organizations can build a resilient culture able to withstand the most arduous challenges. Courage is the most challenging element of developing resilience. Individuals in need of help must have the courage to reach out to others for assistance; to put pride aside and learn that it is okay to ask for help. Likewise, organizations must show the courage to establish and support resilience programs that create a bridge to hope and resilience for their team. The 5C Framework© is an effective, practical, and proven way to help individuals and organizations develop resilience.- Describe the drivers of suicide and dispel some of the myths about suicide -- Bloom’s Taxonomy Element: Understand

Invitation
In response to the nationwide alarm over youth violence in our schools, the National Student Safety & Security Conference and Workshop Conference invites high school and university administrators, campus security officers, mental health professionals, emergency management experts, first responders and law enforcers, as well other experts to meet July 19-20, 2020 in Las Vegas. Our purpose is to create an ad hoc multi-sector crisis management consortium during the event, to be studied as a model by communities around the country.
Speakers will help attendees develop effective action plans that are unique to their own communities and engage the widest range of local stakeholders to make our high schools and college campuses safe and secure — the way learning environments really should be.
The National Student Safety & Security Conference & Workshop is organized by Syllabusx, Virginia, international specialists in emergency planning events and disaster recovery conferences.
