He is married to the former Judith O'Bryan and has three children, Paige, Craig, and Billy, and twelve grandchildren. Career with the Secret Service [ edit ] Basham's career with the United States Secret Service began in 1970, when he was appointed a Special Agent in the Washington Field Office. He rose rapidly to the managerial level while serving in a variety of assignments reflecting the Service's diverse interests and responsibilities. Consistent with the dual missions of the Secret Service, Basham has served in supervisory positions in both protective and investigative assignments, serving as Special Agent in Charge of the Cleveland Field Office, the Washington Field Office, and the Vice Presidential Protective Division. Basham also served as the Deputy Assistant Director of the Office of Training and as Assistant Director of the Office of Administration, where he was responsible for the management of the agency's administrative division, including financial management, personnel, procurement and strategic planning. Position at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center [ edit ] In January 1998, Basham was appointed Director of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) by President Bill Clinton. The center, located in Glynco, Georgia and Artesia, New Mexico, provides training for nearly all of the nation's federal law enforcement officers, including Secret Service agents. The FLETC also serves the state, local and federal law enforcement communities with training programs tailored to their specific needs. Position at Transportation Security Administration [ edit ] In January 2002, Basham was recruited as one of the first employees and leaders of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), a new agency within the Homeland Security created to secure America's aviation system following the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attack. Among his responsibilities at TSA, Basham oversaw the hiring of federal security directors for the nation's 429 major airports. Return to U.S. Secret Service [ edit ] On January 27, 2003, Basham returned to the agency as the director, following the retirement of Brian L. Stafford. Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection [ edit ] President George W. Bush nominated Basham as Commissioner of CBP on January 30, 2006. Basham was confirmed by the United States Senate in May 2006. CBP is responsible for border https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Ralph_Basham[4/10/2020 9:32:44 AM] W.

Pre-Incident Indicators 1 BACKGROUND AND METHODOLOGY What more can we do as a nation to improve the safety of our children at school? This was the question raised by the National Rifle Association (NRA) after the Sandy Hook tragedy in which twenty young lives were taken along with the lives of six devoted school staff.1 The posing of this question led to the assembly of a team of recognized experts in homeland security, law-enforcement training and school safety to conduct a survey of selected schools and their current security standards. This review has been conducted without any preconceived conclusions or mandate from the NRA except to determine what is needed to save young lives. The NRA has fully honored its commitment to respect the independence of this task force and to fund its work.
