I have had the privilege of knowing Dr. Rick

Hoyer for several years. He is a consummate

law enforcement professional with decades of

expertise and his work post 9/11 to provide CT

training for law enforcement and the military

through his Homeland Security Defense

Coalition and the Homeland Security University

project speaks volumes as to his patriotism and

interest in national security and keeping all

countries safe from international terrorism and

domestic terrorists. Rick has recruited the best

and most seasoned CT and intelligence experts

from around the world to design and teach the

courses in order to prevent another 9/11 or mass

shooting type of terrorist attacks. Rick is a

colleague and friend and his background in both

law enforcement, criminal psychology and higher

education have served him well in being able to

combine the three to have excellent training and

educational programs. It is without hesitation

that I recommend Dr. Richard (Rick) Hoyer.

Dr Rick has been part of my LinkedIn network for

some time. He is a man given to the health and

safety of others and is highly motivated and

dedicated in his most noble pursuit. He clearly is a most refreshing man who expounds with out

flinching, the difference between right and wrong! It has been an absolute pleasure to be acquainted

with this Gentleman, who is also to be in charge

hopefully of the operational hub of our fire safety mission in the USA and Canada. It is not often one can feel safe to feel so much confidence in a person who resides on another continent, but in Dr Rick's case, one can trust him fully without any doubt.

Truly a pleasure to know and be a friend of this

outstanding professional!

December 6, 2011, Sgt. Major Hercules worked with Dr. Rick but at different companies

In a rapidly changing world of political turmoil, crisis and highly specific security needs, Dr. Hoyer provides the security, law-enforcement, military and intelligence professional with the most rife, reliable and circumspect intelligence reports, through prudent and strategic dispersal. He is highly personable, socially aware, concise and efficient at providing useful information to organizations around the world for the purpose of safety, security and progress for those in the industry. This information not only aids in the evolution and maintenance of protective services, but can also act to save the lives of people and protect the security of valuable assets required to prolong life, business continuity and prudent planning throughout the world. It is refreshing and highly comforting to see this type of diligence and transparency from a highly skilled expert in the field; and it is also highly encouraging to the moral of those who have dealt with expertise that was lacking the same "human touch" in the past. It is a rare and commendable attribute indicative of high achievement and actualization at one's craft.
