John Colgan - Vice President, Government and Corporate Relations
John, a twenty-eight year veteran of the New York City Police Department (NYPD), retired in 2008 at the rank of Assistant Chief. In his last assignment within the NYPD, he served as Commanding Officer of the Counterterrorism Bureau, overseeing the Joint Terrorism Task Force; all Citywide Counterterrorism Initiatives; and all risk assessment, threat reduction/infrastructure protection, and counterterrorism training activities within the purview of the NYPD. Earlier in his NYPD career, John oversaw the legal training of NYPD Police Academy recruits and served as Executive Officer of the 83rd Precinct and as Commanding Officer of both the Administrative Services Division and the Department's Office of Management and Budget. In these assignments, he was responsible for administering a significant portion of the Department's operating expense and capital budgets. John developed exemplary qualification in these assignments as both a problem solver and program manager with a reputation for completing complex projects on time and within budget.

This reputation and experience figured prominently in John's assignment to the NYPD Counterterrorism Bureau at its inception in 2002. In this assignment, he was directly responsible for many of the security enhancements currently in place throughout New York City and oversaw a number of initiatives designed to effectively assess the risks to our citizens and provide workable solutions to reduce the terrorist threat. He also served as Co-Chair of the New York State Police Executive Committee on Terrorism and as a member of the Executive Committee of the Port of New York/New Jersey's Area Maritime Security Committee. John holds a Bachelor of Arts degree and is a 1994 graduate of the Police Management Institute at Columbia University. He is also a recent recipient of the New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications Lifetime Achievement Award for advancing the use of technology to enhance the security of our city.
