Organizers of September’s Democratic convention in Charlotte have hired a former Secret Service agent to be their security director.
Ohio native Tom Rosfelder, who logged 26 years with the U.S. Secret Service, will work with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department and the Secret Service – the lead agencies responsible for developing the security plan for the 2012 Democratic National Convention.
“He is well versed in the many issues we’re going to have to deal with,” convention CEO Steve Kerrigan said Wednesday.
During his career as an officer, special agent and supervisor with the Secret Service, Rosfelder gained extensive experience protecting dignitaries, including U.S. presidents and vice presidents, DNCC spokeswoman Joanne Peters said in a statement.
Rosfelder was recently responsible for managing the Cleveland Electronic Crimes Task Force and the Cleveland/ Northern Ohio Organized Crime Task Force. He’s also served as an instructor at the International Law Enforcement Academy in Budapest, Hungary.
