(PRWEB) December 18, 2004 -- The Orlando based International Society for
Sephardic Progress (ISFSP) welcomes Chris Gonzaga as their new Director of
Security. Mr. Gonzaga is the founder of the well known National Security Agency
of Central Florida, Inc. which is based in Orlando.
Mr. Gonzaga started
his career in law enforcement and professional security by serving in the United
States Army. During his time in the Army, Mr. Gonzaga served in the Police Corps
then served in the Criminal Investigate Command (CID). Mr. Gonzaga served
several years with the Detroit Police Department then after relocating to
Florida, served in the Army reserves, where he was attached again to the
Criminal Investigation Command, working the FBI's Terrorist Watch List. In
Florida, Mr. Gonzaga was appointed by the Osceola Sheriff's office as a deputy
and later moved on to work for the City of Orlando as a police officer where he
received numerous commendations.
Mr. Gonzaga was endorsed and received
training at Valencia Community College and Brevard Community College as a Law
Enforcement Academy Instructor, Law Enforcement Driving Instructor, and he is
certified by the NRA as a Law Enforcement Firearm Instructor.
Through
the Washington based Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, Mr. Gonzaga
has been trained by members of the Zahal (Israeli Defense Forces) and the
Mishteret Israel (Israeli Police) in counter-terrorism operations and issues
pertinent to the Jewish community.
As a member of the ISFSP staff, he
will provide security analysis and operational oversight for the ISFSP at events
and proceedings which involve the public. Shelomo Alfassa, Executive Director of
the ISFSP stated:
"Every Jewish organization has a responsibility to
examine its security needs and respond with a plan which will meet them, we have
addressed this by bringing in a professional such as Mr. Gonzaga, and we are
honored to have him on board."
Mr. Gonzaga has worked with the Jewish
community previously, through NSA's "Bitachon" consulting division which offers
security services to congregations as well as members of the Jewish
community.
The International Society for Sephardic Progress is a Jewish
agency developed to serve the Sephardic community--the descendants of the Jews
of historic Spain, Portugal, North Africa and the Levant who share both common
religious and cultural bonds. Although based in the United States, the ISFSP is
an advocacy organization representing Sephardic Jews internationally. Even
though we are advocates for the Sephardim, we are activists for the Jewish
people.
