For journalists, podcasters, and producers.
Ocean State Protection Group is available for commentary, interviews, and on-the-record analysis on physical security, school safety, faith-based institutional risk, FEMA NSGP grant policy, and the active-duty / retired LE staffing boundary in private security work.
On-The-Record Topics
Where we can credibly comment.
School + parish security in New England
OSPG founders walk Catholic schools, parishes, and private K-12 campuses across Rhode Island, southeastern Massachusetts, and northern Connecticut. Available for commentary on regional patterns, school-specific vulnerability classes, and FEMA grant cycles.
FEMA Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP)
Up to $200K per site is available federally for qualifying 501(c)(3) faith-based and educational nonprofits. We can speak to application strategy, scoring criteria, and the gap between awarded and unfunded applications in RI / NE.
Active-duty perspective on private security
OSPG is co-founded by two active-duty Cranston Police Department officers. We hold a clear view on the boundary between consulting work (allowed) and private security details (staffed exclusively by retired LE / military veterans through our network).
