Rob DePriest
National Security Consultant | Former FBI Crisis Response Leader
With over 20 years in federal law enforcement, Rob DePriest has led responses to some of the nation’s most high-profile mass casualty events—including the Pulse Nightclub and Stoneman Douglas High School shootings. As the former head of the FBI Miami Crisis Response Program, Rob has trained with agencies worldwide to build scalable emergency plans for schools, stadiums, and government facilities. At the School Safety Leadership Summit, Rob brings insider-level insight and a calm, clear framework to help school leaders evaluate and improve their own emergency response plans—before the unthinkable happens.
“Rob’s experience brings unmatched clarity to what schools must do now—not after a crisis.
Bobby Brasher has trained educators, law enforcement, and international mission teams on how to de-escalate threats before they become tragedies. With deep roots in both law enforcement and Christian education, Bobby served as Director of School Security at a Texas boarding school before becoming a DOJ-certified De-escalation Instructor. He’s consulted with schools and churches across the U.S., Latin America, and Africa—and served on the security team at the 2024 Republican National Convention. At the Summit, Bobby delivers training grounded in real-world encounters that will transform how your staff interprets behavior, communicates under pressure, and responds with confidence.
“Bobby’s training turns fear and uncertainty into clear, calm action—exactly what school staff need most.
