president’s message
Greetings,
The recent attacks at Fort Hood and in Orlando leave me horrified but, unfortunately, not shocked.
Tragically, it is events like these that illustrate how important and relevant the work of ATAP continues to be
today. The economic times in which we find ourselves leave little in budgets for training or organizations
Rachel Solov such as ATAP. However, those same economic times make the work we do and organizations such as
ATAP even more essential. I want to thank each and every one of you for your dedication, commitment
and passion for preventing violence and for working tirelessly to keep people safe. I also thank you for
your continued support of ATAP. Without the support you lend through your membership, we could not
exist.
I want to take a moment to thank you all for giving me the opportunity to lead this organization. I also
would like to recognize the tremendous work done by our Past President, Jim Cawood. From day one,
Jim had a vision of where he wanted to take this organization during his presidency, and he succeeded.

We just completed the 19th annual Threat Management Conference. The conference was
truly outstanding. A very special thank-you to our TMC co-chairs, John Lane and Jeff Dunn,
for their hard work in making the conference another huge success. Thank you also to the
Los Angeles Police Department’s Threat Management Unit, the Los Angeles ATAP Chapter
and the Association Board for all the hard work each put into running the conference. The
2010 Threat Management Conference will be held in Anaheim, California, August 17-20. Please
check the Web site for updates, including information on presenting as well as some exciting
new sponsorship opportunities we will have available!
On October 16, 2009, it was my honor to install the Great Plains Chapter. The Great Plains
Chapter is based at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Great Plains kick-off
meeting was a huge success and I am looking forward to watching them continue to grow
and continue to enhance our organization and profession.
I have nearly completed my first quarter as Association President. I have visited several of
our chapters, and intend to visit all of you throughout the next year. Please don’t hesitate to
contact me; I am always open to suggestions, criticism, and ideas on how we can make this
organization work better for you. I can be reached at president@atapworldwide.org.
I am grateful you are a part of this organization. Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season
and a happy, healthy New Year. Be safe and I hope to see you soon!

Meritorious Service Award
Paul Bristow
The Meritorious Service Award was presented to Paul Bristow at the 19th annual Threat Management Conference on
Thursday, Aug. 13. This award was established in 2004 to recognize ATAP members who have made extraordinary
contributions to the mission of ATAP. Each year there is only one recipient of this award.
Paul was presented with this award because of his continued dedication to ATAP. He has served for more than 14 years in
a variety of Board positions both with the Los Angeles Chapter and the Executive Board. For several years, Paul has been
responsible for coordinating the committee responsible for identifying and managing vendors and sponsors at national
conferences.
While employed at Fox Entertainment Group as the Security
Director, Paul was instrumental in coordinating the company’s
support of the ATAP national conferences for many years.
Without this support, ATAP would not have been able to
maintain the conference pricing structure, which has helped to
make the events affordable to so many public sector agencies.
Paul has dedicated an enormous amount of time and energy
toward the successful operation of ATAP and the annual Threat
Management Conference. Many of Paul’s efforts have taken
place “behind the scenes,” without him receiving the recognition and appreciation that he is so deserving of.
ATAP President Rachel Solov presents Paul Bristow with the Meritorious
Service Award.
