“Behind the Badge: The Inside Story of the FBI – The World’s Premier Law Enforcement Agency” by James Gagliano.
In his talk, James will cover the FBI’s proud, yet complicated 117-year history and candidly address and examine “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” of the domestic law enforcement agency charged with keeping Americans safe – at home and overseas. The talk will include successes and controversies, declassified covert operations, and both accurate/inaccurate Hollywood portrayals of the organization that Gagliano devoted a quarter-century of his life.
The truth is out there!
James A. Gagliano is a retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent and serves on the board of directors of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF). He is a 1987 graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point and a doctoral candidate in Homeland Security at St. John’s University. He frequently appears in media circles as a law enforcement and security analyst. A recovering politician, he just successfully completed two terms (2021-2025) as mayor of his beloved community of Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York. His wife Tiffany, a practicing attorney, is smarter, prettier, and far more accomplished than he is. @jamesagagliano
