What is Infragard?
Infragard® is a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
program that began in the Cleveland Field Office in
1996. It was a local effort to gain support from the
information technology industry and academia for the
FBI’s investigative efforts in the cyber arena. The
program expanded to other FBI Field Offices, and in 1998
the FBI assigned national program responsibility for
Infragard® to the former National Infrastructure
Protection Center (NIPC) and to the Cyber Division in
2003. Infragard® and the FBI have developed a
relationship of trust and credibility in the exchange of
information concerning various terrorism, intelligence,
criminal, and security matters.

What:
Retired FBI Special Agent Sharon Smith, Ph.D. (bio) will lead a hands-on workshop on triaging threats that you receive at your organization. Through role playing and guided team discussions you will learn to apply the techniques that Dr. Smith has developed over some 30 years. Her experience at the Behavioral Science Unit at the FBI and her multiple consulting positions give her a unique and authoritative perspective on deciding just how "real" that threat you just received is.
Dr. Smith is a consultant to intelligence and security-related governmental agencies; law enforcement agencies; security directors for high profile/high net-worth individuals, corporations and physical structures; and attorneys. She provides consultations and assessments in the following areas:
threat assessment, criminal and corporate psychopathy, offender behavior, crime scene assessment, detection of deception, interviewing techniques for criminal and violent offenders, and
school and workplace violence.
Dr. Smith is a retired FBI Special Agent with a 25-year career including: a nearly nine year assignment at the FBI's elite Behavioral Science Unit (BSU); field work as a part-time undercover agent on multiple cases resulting in the arrest and prosecution of over 40 individuals; field agent member of the U.S. Attorney’s team during a four-year international undercover investigation of drug traffickers, for which she received an award from the U.S. Attorney's Office for her work on this case; and assignments at the FBI Academy, the FBI National Academy, and at FBI Headquarters, in both it’s Congressional Affairs Office and it’s National Press Office.
At the FBI's elite Behavioral Science Unit (BSU), Dr. Smith consulted on high profile cases and taught at the FBI National Academy, the world's most prestigious training course designed for international, state and local law enforcement executives. She taught complex courses assisting law enforcement agencies throughout the world in sexual homicides, serial rapes, threats, workplace violence, arsons, detection of deception, and psychopathy, by applying criminal investigative analysis to offender behavior. Also while at BSU, she consulted on the Hollywood movie Red Dragon and the television series The Handler.
