“Campus Safety Services at Phillips Exeter Academy was very happy to partner with Lieutenant Joe Pangaro and his team when we proactively looked to identify, assess, and implement security applications on our vast open campus. The team’s approach was to provide a risk assessment while looking at vulnerabilities from an attacker’s perspective. We felt this approach was critical when determining where our security efforts should be focused in order to provide a safe learning and working environment.”
Paul M. Gravel
Director of Campus Safety Services & Risk Management, Phillips Exeter Academy
"I highly recommend Lieutenant Joe Pangaro and his Integra Consulting and Computer Services team. They performed a thorough and comprehensive school safety and security audit five years ago and then recently returned for a follow-up visit in an effort to affirm our safety/security improvements since their original audit as well as to provide useful feedback and recommendations for additional upgrades going forward. Accordingly, we view Joe and his team as essential partners in our ongoing vigilance as they hold a "mirror up to our performance."

"Joe’s presentation was structured well, and the information was presented in bite-sized, easy-to-understand pieces. Joe is an engaging speaker and a good teacher, and he interfaced with our group easily, despite the session being over zoom. The most helpful piece of the training was a systematic, procedural presentation of how to de-escalate potentially dangerous individuals. It was nice to have Joe’s expertise and experience to fully understand what someone in crisis can and can’t do, what they’re thinking about, and how to help bring things to a safe ending. Knowing which threats to focus on in a camp setting is hard. Joe helped clarify the most important pieces when dealing with potentially dangerous people, and spoke to the specific instance of an angry or unstable person on site, whether for the first time or someone already part of the community."

Associate Director of Programs, Johnsonburg Camp & Retreat Center
"You and your team did an excellent job. Joe is a true professional and an engaging, knowledgeable speaker. I, in particular, appreciated how Joe always kept the company’s best interest in mind when responding to questions and concerns of the staff."

"I thought your presentation was outstanding! I’ve been to a lot of these security seminars, but this one was the best, by far that I have ever attended, and you were one of the biggest reasons why. Your credentials are unsurpassed."

"I sat mesmerized through the whole class, this was phenomenal !!!! Such great stuff that people wouldn't even think about, simplicity, common sense things. I loved every moment of it. You are a natural and having been on the police force is major."

"I read your article for Behind the Badge and find it comes from your heart and speaks of your passion in protecting our children. It's in your words and should resonate with your readers. It isn't technical; it's in layman's terms a school administrator will understand. You are a true evangelist. The article in the autism magazine was also eye-opening. I had never thought in terms of special needs children in a school crisis situation. You addressed their issues well and gave a roadmap to teachers and administrators charged with preparing them for a mass casualty incident in their school. No stone unturned and no child left behind."

“Surviving an Active Shooter and Securing your Site for Modern Threats in Places of Worship, presented by Joseph Pangaro, was an invaluable presentation illustrating and emphasizing the importance of procedures, standards and rehearsals. The presentation helped me identify weaknesses in my facility security program and provided solutions and examples for risk mitigation. Although this course was presented to security leads and representatives of various facilities, this course would be extremely beneficial for everyone in the workplace. I think this will help create a common operating picture in regards to security. I plan to pursue and coordinate either this exact lecture with Joe, or something very similar for my entire facility.”

“Joe performed a comprehensive TVRA in Spring Lake Heights shortly after my arrival as the new superintendent. His thorough analysis of both our strengths and weaknesses enabled the district to create a solid plan for securing our district. Furthermore, his interactions with staff throughout his visits made them feel confident in the recommendations contained within the TVRA. Joe’s plan allowed me to make major strides in ensuring that our school community is trained and prepared for any type of emergency situation.“
John Spalthoff
Superintendent of Schools, Spring Lake Heights Schools
“Our school has worked with Joe Pangaro over the past four years. Not only are our facilities safer as a result of the important recommendations for safety upgrades, but our staff have reported feeling safer and more confident as a result of participating in the Run, Hide, Fight training. Joe also conducted an impromptu lock down drill during school hours to assess our school’s security skills and later attended a faculty meeting to have discussion. We are grateful to him for always helping us each year and for always answering any questions or concerns.”

“We attended the A+Technology & Security Safety Seminar active shooter seminar given by Joe Pangaro in 2019 and it couldn’t be more informative. The procedures they taught us were helpful and received positively by our building when we shared what we learned. We certainly will be putting these ideas into action ASAP and would definitely attend a future seminar. Thank you for having us.”

“At Newsday, the safety of our employees is paramount. Given the times we live in, we wanted to provide our employees with the knowledge and training they need to recognize danger and react in the best way possible. Offering Active Intruder Awareness Training sessions with Lt. Joseph Pangaro, allowed us to do just that. Lt. Pangaro has extensive experience in this type of training. He presents in an easy to understand manner, giving employees valuable information, stressing ‘awareness and preparedness’ rather than fear.”
Tim Winter
Manager, Newsday Security
“The Security Threat Vulnerability, Risk Assessment (STVRA) that was conducted for the Sachem Central School District was incredibly beneficial to our continued focus on safety and security. Joe Pangaro and his staff brought a professional perspective and energy to the STVRA process. Our district serves over 13,000 students across 15 schools. Throughout the process Joe gave every one of our schools the attention required for the most thorough analysis. The STVRA was followed up by opportunities for district administrators to receive ongoing clarification and consultation, as well as a presentation to the Board of Education and our community. Our security practices have been much improved as a result of the audit. This team is most worthy of consideration by school districts seeking exceptional quality in the area of security analysis.”

Ed. D., Superintendent of Schools, Sachem School New York
"I am delighted to recommend the services of this company, specifically Joseph Pangaro. He conducted a security assessment for our 140-acre summer camp and led several trainings for our staff. He continues to be a valuable resource to our senior staff as we reach out to him with security questions regularly. We commissioned the security assessment so that we would be informed of potential threats and vulnerabilities of our campus and to our population of students, families and other visitors. We also aimed to get actionable recommendations for improving our security strategy, infrastructure and procedures. Joe provided an extensive, thorough and informative assessment, which has become an invaluable resource to us in improving security at our facility. His training helped our staff be aware of potential threats and equipped them with strategies to avoid and address threats. The staff who attended universally praised the content and delivery. He is our go-to person for advice on security matters and has helped us work out customized solutions to our security vulnerabilities. We highly recommend these services to other camps and similar organizations, both the assessment and staff training. "
