Overview

In light of recent disasters and world events, it is increasingly important for criminal justice administrators, first responders, government officials, and organizations to understand behavioral studies and learn how to manage critical incidents, psychological aspects of disasters, hazard mitigation, and risk identification.

Diemer, has nearly 30 years of varied investigative experience, and is known across Florida and, increasingly, among national law enforcement at local, state, and federal agency levels.
