Robin C. Nagele, M.A., is the Principal & Founder of Nagele Security Advisors, LLC, with a distinguished career in both public & private sectors of security spanning more than 40 years. A retired U.S. Army Sergeant Major (E-9) and Retired Federal Law Enforcement Officer (LEOSA), Robin has spent four decades leading personnel and managing complex security missions in high-stakes environments. Mr. Nagele is a security and leadership management expert with over 40 years of proven operational expertise. His operational background is supported by an elite academic foundation, holding dual Master's degrees (Master of Arts in Management & Leadership and a Master of Arts in Business & Organizational Security Management). Mr. Nagele is a Co-Author of the Amazon Best-Selling book, "The Guide to Reducing the Risk of Workplace Violence…The Absolute Essentials." His areas of expertise focus on the forensic evaluation of 'Standard of Care,' specializing in premises liability and the integration of security protocols with life-safety and incident command systems. As a published author on risk mitigation, Mr. Nagele translates complex organizational governance and policy authorship into actionable insights. Mr. Nagele's extensive professional background includes serving as Principal & Founder of Nagele Security Advisors, a Corporate Physical Security Manager for Starbucks Coffee Company, Director of Operations for a private security firm, Principal & Founder of Nagele Protective Services, and Executive / Personal Protection Specialist. As a member of the International Association of Professional Security Consultants (IAPSC), Mr. Nagele’s forensic methodology is grounded in the organization’s rigorous standards, ensuring that every engagement is supported by thorough evidence review, site-specific auditing, and objective technical conclusions. He specializes in translating complex multi-stakeholder emergencies into clear, defensible forensic testimony.

Mr. Nagele's approach is grounded in a multi-phase forensic methodology designed to provide objective, evidence-based conclusions. He does not rely on subjective opinions; instead, he utilizes the IAPSC (International Association of Professional Security Consultants) methodology for best practices to conduct a systematic review of the 'Standard of Care.' Mr. Nagele's forensic process follows distinct phases: Evidence Review & Synchronization: Mr. Nagele will review and analyze various information, whether produced during the discovery process of the litigation, or otherwise obtained through research, formal education, common knowledge, investigation, and or the consultant expert's experience which allows the consultant to identify factors leading to an understanding of the crime risks present at the time of the criminal event. He performs a deep-dive analysis of the organization’s 'Administrative Controls,' including the authorship and adequacy of relevant policies and procedures, security staffing, plans, manuals, post orders, schedules, CCTV, Photographs, etc. Security Risk Assessment: This is the general process of identifying relevant risks given the facts of the case, and based on the materials identified in the evidence review process. It is qualitative, quantitative or hybrid assessment, that seeks to determine the likelihood that criminals could successfully exploit a vulnerability or compromise a security countermeasure. Threat Assessment: Mr. Nagele will then, conduct an evaluation of events that can adversely affect operations and or specific assets . Historical information is a primary source for threat assessments, including past criminal and terrorist events. A threat assessment considers actual and inherent threats. Vulnerability Assessments/Security Survey: This is an analysis of security weaknesses and opportunities for criminal activity. Security Survey is a method for collecting information used in the vulnerability assessment. Analysis & Opinions: Mr. Nagele will determine the level of adequacy of security at the location of the incident on the date and time the incident occurred. This will be based on the information obtained in the previous steps, and the application of a qualitative analysis based on the experience, education, and training of Mr. Nagele.

With more than 40 years of operational leadership and forensic security mastery, this engagement represents a formal and gradual transition into expert advisory for the legal field. As a retired Federal Law Enforcement Officer, career security executive, and published author, I provide the court with the same level of rigorous technical analysis previously utilized by the U.S. Army Military Police Corps and Fortune 500 organizations for decades. My qualifications to provide expert testimony are rooted in: Advanced Academic Authority: Holding two Master of Arts (M.A.) degrees in Business & Organizational Security Management and another in Management & Leadership. Policy Authorship: Decades of experience writing and auditing 'Standard Operational Procedures' (SOPs) that govern the security industry. Unified Command: Expert-level proficiency in the Incident Command System (ICS) for managing life-safety emergencies. Niche Expertise: A career-long focus on the bespoke 'Standard of Care' required for Ultra-High-Net-Worth (UHNW) and luxury residential environments. I translate 40 years of 'boots-on-the-ground' reality into clear, evidence-based forensic conclusions, utilizing the IAPSC methodology to ensure every opinion is objective and technically sound.
