Safe Schools Summit

Safe Schools Summit | Long Beach Safe Schools Summit

Wednesday, October 10, 2018
7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Safe Schools Summit

The premiere conference for school personnel and law enforcement officers to come together to improve the safety of our schools.

Embassy Consulting Services, LLC is pleased to announce the launching of their 1st Safe Schools Summit. This day-long event will bring together a diverse group of professionals that include educators, administrators, law enforcement and school safety professionals to collaborate and work together towards creating and fostering a safe and secure learning environment.

Across the nation, school officials are entrusted with building and maintaining a safe, respectful and inclusive learning environment. However, across our nation, we are seeing violence being perpetrated in many of our educational institutions.

Our Safe Schools Summit is designed to bring together a diverse group of stakeholders to provide education, awareness and knowledge to help create safe school communities.

The summit will present a robust lineup of presenters and will feature nationally renowned speaker Antoinette Tuff and her inspiring true story of how she saved 870 children at an Atlanta school, which was under siege. As the nation faced yet another Sandy Hook story of tragedy, Antoinette rewrote the ending after facing her own pain, hurt, and rejection, yet held onto grace, faith, and hope. A hope that anchored her in the most high-stakes moments, a grace that allowed her to empathize with a hurting armed suspect and a faith that gave her the courage to love him back from the brink.

🎉 Celebrating 20 Years of Service with FBI-LEEDA – Congratulations to Chief (Ret.) Larry Horak! 🎉

Embassy Consulting Services is proud to celebrate a major milestone for one of our most respected facilitators: Chief (Ret.) Lawrence “Larry” Horak, who on May 6, 2025, marked 20 years as an instructor with FBI-LEEDA.

Larry is the longest-tenured instructor in FBI-LEEDA history. In 2005, he developed and launched their Managing and Conducting Internal Affairs Investigations course, which has since trained thousands of law enforcement professionals nationwide. His work has been foundational in helping agencies strengthen internal accountability and investigative integrity.

Larry brings more than 35 years of sworn law enforcement experience, including service as a Special Agent with the FBI and as Chief of Police for the Margate Police Department in Florida.

He is:
✅ A graduate of both the FBI Academy and the FBI National Academy (239th Session)
✅ A veteran instructor with 30+ years in adult education
✅ Holder of an MPA from Florida Atlantic University
✅ CEO of a licensed PI agency and an FAA-licensed private pilot
✅ A sought-after speaker for IACP, NIAIA, FIAIA, and others
✅ A 2008 member of the working group that developed the FBI-LEEDA Trilogy Award

Larry continues to teach for both FBI-LEEDA and Embassy Consulting Services, bringing passion, experience, and humor to every room he walks into. He remains at the tip of the spear in guiding officers and agencies through some of the most critical topics in law enforcement leadership and ethics.

💬 “Larry is a wonderful instructor with an exceptional amount of knowledge in the field of IA. I consider myself lucky to have attended this training.”
💬 “Larry is extremely knowledgeable and engaging. His excitement for the material is contagious.”

📍 Based in Marco Island, Florida, Larry has dedicated his life to public service, leadership, and professional development. We’re honored to have him as part of our team.

Congratulations, Larry, on 20 outstanding years with FBI-LEEDA—and thank you for your continued dedication to the law enforcement community. Here’s to many more!
