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.

Robert has enjoyed a career in education with a variety of positions as a teacher, coach, athletic director, assistant principal, building principal, and recently as a district administrator overseeing crisis, safety, and student outreach with Waukegan Schools. Robert has worked in higher education as a full-time assistant professor. He has over fifteen years of experience as an adjunct faculty member where he taught in both face-to-face and online classrooms.
Working at Olivet is a “Homecoming” of sorts for Robert. He grew up in Los Angeles, where he attended the First Church of the Nazarene in Pasadena, Ca. His connection with the church provided an avenue to play college basketball while attending Eastern Nazarene College in Quincy, Ma. Robert played point guard during his tenure on a team that had a 20 – 5 record his last year. His fond memories of fellow students, coaches, and professors has left him with a genuine love for Nazarene Colleges and University systems. Robert is thrilled to be a part of the ONU team and family.
Robert’s educational background includes a bachelor’s degree in criminology and master’s degrees in forensic science, sport’s administration, and educational leadership along with a doctorate in educational leadership.
Prior to Robert’s career in education, he worked in law enforcement with various assignments including; patrol, D.A.R.E. instructor, gang unit, school resource officer, investigations, supervision, along with director of public safety.
Robert’s personal faith journey has always been an integral part of his professional career in law enforcement and education. As a police officer, Robert made a concerted effort to always treat everyone with kindness and respect, even in the throes of immensely difficult challenges. As an educator, namely in the public schools, it was not always easy refraining from espousing his Christian values and faith. However, once again, treating everyone with respect and kindness has been an opportunity in itself to be a witness to God’s love.
Robert is married to Tyra Lopez and has two children, daughter, Jade, and son, Jordan along with two grandchildren, granddaughter Judah, and grandson Leo. Robert enjoys hiking, attending sporting events, and of course spending time with family.The learning forum is based on my qualitative multiple case study doctoral research in the area of school emergency management readiness and the relationship between school administrators and law enforcement personnel, namely School Resource Officers (SROs). The participants in my study consisted of 3 school district level supervisors, 3 principals, 3 SRO supervisors, and 3 SROs.- The participant will analyze the current collaborative efforts between school and law enforcement personnel

Dr. Lawler regularly conducts academic instruction for these teachers, federal employees, and civilian contract employees, as well as realistic scenario-based training exercises designed to deter, disrupt, and defeat any violent attack upon a school, church, or federal facility.Research indicated that a large percentage of the general population does not and will not respond effectively during a life-threatening event. However, an understanding of the neurological basis of the brain’s “fight or flight” response provides clues on how to avoid the resultant “freezing” behavior. Instead, a “challenge response” must be developed through the use of scenario-based training.- Learn the neurological basis of the physiological fear response
- Understand how perceptual distortions affect cognitive processes during life-threatening events
- Understand the necessity of realistic, scenario-based training
- Learn basic emergency medical techniques to stop massive bleeding and treat for hypoperfusion (shock)

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.
