About Raj Karira

I’m a SECURITY and LAW ENFORCEMENT PROFESSIONAL who has earned the highest clearance level and a distinguished record of delivering comprehensive security plans and physical protection for the nation’s top officials and foreign dignitaries. Skilled at mobilizing large teams in the execution of complex domestic and global operational security plans, I have a history of successfully leading enterprise-wide investigative, protective, intelligence, and training programs while efficiently managing the substantial budgets that support them. Beyond my immediate team, I’m committed to forging critical alliances with domestic interagency leaders, international counterparts, and corporate executives across law enforcement, security services, and the private sector to achieve maximum security effectiveness. With a track record of driving sweeping, innovative changes that include strategic technology and facility upgrades, development of continuity strategies, and comprehensive risk management solutions, my teams are recognized for delivering excellence in environments that range from small satellite offices to large-scale organizations. Currently, I’m the Assistant Special Agent in charge of the Secret Service Talent Acquisition Division. With a focus on strategic talent development, I collaborate with military, academia, and other agencies to identify and target high-potential candidates that form the bench strength of a diverse and highly skilled pipeline for law enforcement, administrative, and technical professionals across the organization which includes thousands of personnel and more than 100 global offices.AREAS OF LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCEComplex Security Operations | Intelligence Analysis | Threat & Risk Assessment | Critical Infrastructure ProtectionCompliance Audits |Executive Protection | Program Management | Logistics | Budget ManagementTalent Recruitment & Development | Continuity of Operations | Financial Protection | Crisis Management | Data Analysis | Cost/Benefit Analysis
