"Proactive Protection for a Changing Global Environment."
My name is Joseph Warnke and I founded STAR & SHIELD, INC. to truly protect the people of, and the visitors to, Chicago against threats to which they are currently vulnerable.
I have over 20 years experience protecting the city of Chicago in various capacities:
-
Chicago Police Department - Patrol
-
CPD - Gangs
-
CPD - Saturation Team
-
CPD - SWAT
-
CPD - Security Specialist (Protecting the Mayor of Chicago)
-
Chicago Fire Department - Firefighter/Emergency Medical Technician
I have certifications and have been trained in:
-
State Department Dignitary Protection
-
Secret Service Diplomatic Protection
-
Terrorist Awareness and Response
-
Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT)
-
Close Quarters/Contact Distance Combat Pistol
-
Location and Threat Assessment
-
Patrol Rifle
-
SWAT Rifle Training
-
Emergency Incident Command
-
National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians
Merely being assigned to these units and positions was the beginning. Getting as much training as I could was the next step. Currently, I've made it a point to not only train and educate myself in Terrorist Awareness, Threat Analysis, Location Assessment, Combat Pistol, Physical Control Tactics, SWAT tactics, Tactical EMS, and Executive/Dignitary Protection, but also bring those high level instructors, as well as other highly trained and highly motivated individuals such as myself, aboard STAR & SHIELD.
With STAR & SHIELD, it isn't about the illusion of safety; it's about working with your current security, staff, and management to GET SAFE, and to STAY SAFE.
