President's February Message - CTRW

Janet Brown, President - CTRW

Friends, Let's all work together to help keep TEXAS RED!

I hope you have participated in one of the many significant events that Central Texas RW is organizing. We had a fantastic kick-off meeting with guest presenter Debra Longley, Executive Director of the Children’s Advocacy Center of Central Texas. She raised awareness of the vital work this non-profit offers our community while serving children who have experienced abuse so there can be justice and healing. An Arctic cold front will not stop Republicans from watching Donald J. Trump's comeback as President. The January RED ROOF Connection Presidential Inauguration Watch Party was a massive success with a fantastic turnout. Once again, we helped support a small local business through this CTRW program. Cantina1948 said they were thrilled to have the Central Texas RW community in the house. Your patronage made a positive impact on them and members of their staff—thank you. We also want to thank Austin Spectrum News 1 reporter Erin Davis for attending to see how Central Texas RW supports our community. February is full of opportunities to grow and lead as Republicans. We are always at our best when creating relationships; the perfect recipe is to build a bridge rather than a fence. Regarding February, RSVP for Member Orientation on Feb. 8th, Networking Lunch with guest speaker Steve Munesteri on Feb. 17th, and a Situational Awareness CRASE course on Feb. 24th. Capital Tuesday trips to the Austin Capital for Legislative visits will happen on Feb. 11th and Feb. 25th. Central Texas RW activities for our members to be engaged in are in full swing, and I look forward to welcoming you. Friends, remember we are stronger together. Keep Texas and Bell County RED! Let’s GO!

CRASE Course (800 x 600 px).png

We are thrilled to bring you our February Red Roof Connections program, featuring Guest Presenter John Fisher, which Central Texas Republican Women and Bell County Young Republicans will host.

​

Situational awareness, which is having a plan and strategy for safety, is an essential resource. Guest presenter John Fisher presents the 2-hour course. Schools, businesses, and community members frequently request CRASE-Law enforcement officers and agencies for direction and presentations on what to do if confronted with an active shooter event. The Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) course, designed and built on the Avoid, Deny Defend (ADD) strategy developed by ALERRT in 2004, provides strategies, guidance, and a proven plan for surviving an active shooter event. Topics include the history and prevalence of active shooter events, civilian response options, medical issues, and considerations for conducting drills.

​

The course is designed to start the foundation of “What to do, in the event of…” The desire is to encourage questions and begin the thought process for individuals, families, businesses, and other large congregations or bodies. This course is not designed to give answers but to entice the thought process. Each person, family, business, etc, is different. This is a foundation for what you can and/or need to do, and you could refine it to your abilities and capabilities.

More about our Speaker: John Fisher

Former Special Agent. Texas Department of Public Safety Executive Protection Bureau Governor’s Detail

John has a combined 25+ years of experience in law enforcement. He is proudly married to his bride, Rosanne, for 27 years. They have a multi-generational house household with their son, Tobie (27), and Rosanne’s mother, Jan, who moved in with them shortly after the passing of her husband, Ed.

Prior to his 20+ with DPS, John was enlisted in the United States Marine Corps as a military police K-9 handler for 4 years. He was certified to work with both types of military working dogs, bomb/patrol and narcotics/patrol working dogs. During his time, he did special operations with the United States Secret Service in support of the POTUS, VPOTUS, Visiting Dignitaries and CBIRF (Chemical Biological Incident Response Force).

After the Marine Corps, he became part of DPS in the Texas Highway Patrol in 2002 and as a State Trooper in New Braunfels, Comal County, for approximately 8 years. This time consisted of patrolling the rural highways of Comal County, disaster assistance throughout the State of Texas, and border operations concentrating on DWI, accident investigations, missing or abducted children, narcotics/weapons trafficking, and stolen vehicles. He also assisted the Sheriff’s office with calls for service.

In 2010, he had the opportunity to become part of the Governor’s Protective Detail under the Perry Administration and continues to serve under the Abbott Administration. He has also served with the Dewhurst and Patrick administrations, which is a much smaller detail(s). During his time on the Governor’s Detail, he has experience with several Gubernatorial, Senatorial, and Presidential Campaigns and Inaugural Balls. John has experience with several national and international trips as a Lead Advance, Advance team Motorcade Operations, and Body Agent. All of which require the ability to think on your feet and make command decisions with professionalism and political tact.

He has experience responding to several natural disasters, Presidential (POTUS) events, and Enhanced Security Operations as a Special Agent to assist the uniformed division(s) with security entities nationally and internationally. This includes securing the Governor’s Mansion and contending with events such as the George Floyd protests locally and public and private meetings with heads of state internationally.

John has always been one who enjoys helping others. He enjoys it when he can help people, help themselves, and allow them to be empowered. He has the belief of… he can and will do it for you, but… if he can help you do it yourself, then we are all better from it. The more we know as a society, the better each of us will be. A phrase from the Chinese proverb: He would rather teach someone to fish rather than give them a fish, or from Matthew 4:19, “Be Fishers of Men.”.

This training is designed not to tell you what to do but rather to show you what has been done in the past. It is designed to help you change your mindset and be better prepared for when/if you find yourself in such a difficult position. It is designed to have you ask questions, change your perspective, and not live in fear but, rather live more prepared.
