What Colleagues & Partners Say

Trusted in the field

Portrait of Jerry D. Johnson

“Frank possesses multifaceted expertise to see the big picture and simultaneously navigate the systems, structures, and human elements all at the same time. His extensive background in law enforcement and psychology gives him a valuable lens through which he can connect at the individual level, especially with persons with unique abilities and special needs. He helped our regional educational service agency and our local constituent districts build a consistent framework and worked with us to model effective implementation.”

— Jerry D. Johnson, Superintendent, Calhoun Independent School District, Marshall, MI

Portrait of Judge Namita Sharma

“Dr. Frank Straub and I worked together on a complicated and long running custody dispute when I was in private practice. More recently, I consulted with him as a judge in a tragic shooting that happened in our community. As a judge, Dr. Straub lent his assistance in a crisis and was ready to take on the challenges that the family would be facing. I highly recommend his valuable assistance to anyone.”

— Judge Namita Sharma, Presiding Judge, 9th Circuit Court Family Division, Kalamazoo, MI

Portrait of Arif A. Rasheed

“Following the 15 March 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks, JustCommunity New Zealand engaged Dr. Straub to lead an independent after-action review in support of the Coroner's Inquest. Straub assembled a multidisciplinary team that conducted an exhaustive review of records, footage, and witness accounts, producing a comprehensive report on international crisis-response best practices. Most importantly, the work gave grieving families what they had long sought: answers.”

— Arif A. Rasheed, Barrister, Mediator (AAMINZ)

Portrait of James Burch

“During Frank's tenure, he founded and directed the National Policing Institute's Center for Targeted Violence Prevention — a significant achievement that reflects both his vision and deep expertise in public safety. He also created and managed the Averted School Violence Database — an invaluable tool that has advanced the field's understanding of how tragedies are prevented. I recommend him without reservation.”

— James Burch, President, National Policing Institute
