PIAVA’s next meeting is May 21 in Richmond, VA. This is the first time for one of our meetings in Richmond. We plan on convening for a social hour about 6 p.m. and have a dinner meeting starting about 7 p.m. Clint Van Zandt is coming to the meeting and will talk to us about the way to respond to threatening or extortionate communications. Clint is a former FBI Special Agent and profiler.
Clint Van Zandt is the Founder and President of Van Zandt Associates Inc. See Threatlink.com. During his 25-year career in the FBI, Mr. Van Zandt was a Supervisor in the FBI’s internationally renowned Behavioral Science Unit at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. He was also the FBI’s Chief Hostage Negotiator and in his current position, was the leader of the analytical team recognized with identifying the “Unabomber.” Mr. Van Zandt accurately profiled Oklahoma City Federal Building Bomber Timothy McVeigh on the day of that fateful bombing. He is a recognized expert on many topics including the review of written and oral communications, workplace violence issues, hostage and kidnap negotiations and survival techniques, international and domestic terrorism, personality assessments and behavioral profiling, and authorship identification techniques.
We look forward to our meeting in Richmond. The meeting will be fun, educational and informative.
