Carroll Buracker is the President and CEO of Carroll Buracker & Associates, Inc (CBI), a public safety consulting corporation licensed in Virginia. He has served as the Project Manager on all CBI studies, blueprints, master plans, and all police promotional/selection processes. Mr. Buracker has 22 years of practical police experience, having managed all functions and served in all divisions and ranks of the Fairfax County Police Department - patrol officer, detective, sergeant, lieutenant, captain, major, deputy chief, and chief. For four years, he served as a Chief of Police for the Fairfax County Police Department, the largest police agency in the State of Virginia; that agency serves more than 900,000 residents.

The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors awarded Mr. Buracker the two highest awards for county employees, including the A. Heath Onthank Award for "superb leadership talents and extraordinary management skill."

As chief of police, he served as the chairman of the Metropolitan Washington D.C. Police Chiefs Steering Committee of the Council of Governments (COG); this committee consisted of 16 local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies from the District of Columbia, Virginia, and Maryland. He was assigned by COG to co-chair the development of a Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area Disaster Response Plan, which has been implemented on several occasions.

During his work with CBI, Mr. Buracker has served as the project manager for the development of more than 200 law enforcement, fire, EMS, dispatch, Emergency Preparedness, and security plans/reports/manuals for more than 120 municipalities, the U.S. Federal Government, Fortune 500 companies, hospitals, universities, and nonprofit foundations. Moreover, he served as the project manager for accrediting eight federally funded police departments.

A federal agency, the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD), selected Mr. Buracker to develop a community policing training video that focused on development and implementation of community policing, model programs, and ways to promote partnerships among stakeholders and police services providers. More than 800 copies of this training video have been distributed nationwide. In addition, he served as the project manager for the following: first nationwide study of policing in public housing in the United States; threat/risk assessments of more than 60 federal properties in 30 cities; police/ security programs to deter extremist groups in five municipalities for HUD; and community policing training and evaluations throughout the U.S.

Mr. Buracker has conducted feasibility studies for and managed the implementation of police/security models in downtown districts in major cities (including Seattle and Cleveland). Further, he has developed and negotiated more than 30 contracts between government agencies and private/quasi-governmental agencies for police/security services.
