Heroes
The hundreds of thousands of men and women in federal, state, local and specialty (transit, housing, port authority, protective service, etc.) law enforcement agencies, military, and other public safety professionals who risk their lives on a daily basis to keep us safe.
I also like to recognize the professionals in the entertainment industry who do their best to portray these people in an accurate light when their creative vision comes to fruition.
About me: Mannes and Associates is a consulting firm composed of a team of current and former federal, state, and local law enforcement officers who provide valuable expertise in technical advisory services to the following industries.
• Entertainment Industry (to include film, television, and theatrical production, creative/writing, directorial, wardrobe, location/set design, and prop master staff)
• Manufacturers and systems integrators specializing in the public safety market
• Non-profit organizations and associations serving or working with the public safety community
• Government contractors focused on federal, state, local, and transit law enforcement, homeland security, and infrastructure protection missions
Our purpose is to guide our clientele through the intricate maze of the U.S. law enforcement community, advising clients on current practices, procedures, trends, regulations, jargon, and other important information that helps their projects, practices, business strategies, and productions. Our consultants are assembled from a wide variety of public safety agencies, throughout the U.S. and Canada. Most of our consultants are currently employed as law enforcement professionals, and therefore can provide our clients with specialized insight into the region or type of agency they are staging their project in; with a constantly updated perspective on trends, issues, and regulation changes effecting the law enforcement community. This gives our clients a far greater degree of knowledge then if they were to employ a retired law enforcement officer, as their information is dated to before they retired as well as to the agency they were employed with. When a customer employs Mannes & Associates, they go into business with a team of consultants working anywhere their production or business plan takes them, and gets the most up to date and realistic advisory services available anywhere.
Whether your needs call for a top-flight technical advisor, production consultant, or strategic business consultant with a strong public safety background; Mannes & Associates provides the services you require with an unparalleled degree of professionalism, expertise, discression, and efficiency.
Our advantage is that we are an organized firm, with over 25 consultants, with field expierience with over 44 law enforcement agencies & various task forces, and over 385 years of combined experience. These consultants are organized into teams in several geographic regions in the U.S. and Canada, giving a local perspective to a widely fragmented and compartmentalized area of expertise.

Anyone that reads this, please add him as a friend, he needs as many friends as possible!! 14 years, in an urn nameless tucked away on a shelf is long enough. Thank you for the add and helping to get his picture out to others.
Thank you for the add and for your support in this vital cause to increase the effort to EDUCATE our youth of the dangers of drugs and violence. Our future generation depends on the youth of today. Alcohol and Drugs are plaguing our society and we need to attack it head on where it is digging its roots; with our youth in our schools. Knowledge and Truth are the key to help them stay clean. They are simply too smart to accept the old 'Just Say NO' adage. Todays teens want to KNOW for themselves, and a rebellious society we have created. They will seek the truth themselves and we must educate them with it. Can you handle the truth? That's what they respect. Please help spread the word and tell your friends about us. Feel free to visit D.A.R.E. online at www. dare. com to show your support and/or shop for official D.A.R.E. merchandise. Peace :-)
