Blue Shield Security Consulting LLC was formed on January 1, 2015 by recently retired members of the Connecticut State Police Office of Counter Terrorism Unit. Together, founders Michael Grieder and Kenneth Rigney have over 47 years of law enforcement experience. Following the Sandy Hook, Connecticut tragedy, Grieder and Rigney sought to bring their critical infrastructure protection expertise to the school community at large. Within the Connecticut State Police, Grieder and Rigney established a school security initiative that was met with overwhelming acceptance and significant statewide accolades. Together, Grieder and Rigney conducted over 200 (K-12) school security assessments across CT, provided countless presentations to board of education members, mayors, first selectmen, state legislative committees, numerous community leaders, and lectured on school security at several national conferences. Upon retirement from the Connecticut State Police, Grieder and Rigney sought to continue their commitment to school and student safety through the establishment of Blue Shield Security Consulting. The simple premise of this initiative is to provide a common sense approach to school security issues by identifying gaps and weaknesses and offering long term solutions. As a result of the extensive backgrounds, experience, and expertise of both of its founders, Blue Shield Consulting is adeptly equipped to meet all safety needs, including but not limited to security assessments, emergency planning, physical security logistics, risk mitigation, employee training, and vetted school security products. Mike Grieder is a father to two young children, and Ken Rigney has three teenagers of his own. Mike and Ken understand and appreciate the importance of family and the concept of a safe community in which to raise that family. It is their sincere desire to provide the best solutions to protect your children. Over the last several months Grieder has been working as the Direct
