Headline: FBI Director’s Community Leadership Award 2018

On Monday, July 29, 2018, the Council for Unity was recognized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation with a Director’s Community Leadership Award. The award was presented to Council for Unity President and Founder Mr. Robert Desena by Supervisory Senior Resident Agent Geraldine Hart from the FBI’s Long Island Resident Agency. Mr. Desena will travel to Washington, D.C., in April to participate in a formal ceremony with FBI Director Christopher Wray.

The Council for Unity is a non-profit organization that addresses gang violence by educating youth and their families about the realities of gang life. One of the Council’s goals is to reach children and families in gang-ridden neighborhoods before they become involved in gang activity. The Council has a long history of working in partnership with local schools and law enforcement in furtherance of its mission. The Council is currently working with the FBI’s New York Field Office to address MS-13 gang activity on Long Island.

“The brutal nature of MS-13 crimes has gained notoriety throughout the United States, and law enforcement continues to encounter unique challenges when addressing the MS-13 threat. Here in New York, the FBI’s Long Island Gang Task Force is part of the FBI’s national Safe Streets Task Force network. Since 2003, the task force has been dedicated to protecting the communities on Long Island from the threat of gang violence, and considers MS-13 to be a top priority. We’re extremely grateful for the relationship we share with the Council for Unity, and for all they do to promote tolerance and respect between law enforcement and the communities we serve,” said Assistant Director in Charge William F. Sweeney Jr.

The Director’s Community Leadership Award is presented on behalf of the Director of the FBI and was formally created in 1990 as a way to honor individuals and organizations for their efforts in combating crime, terrorism, drugs, and violence in America. Each of the 56 field offices of the FBI nominates an outstanding community leader to receive the award every year.

Recovering the Space Shuttle Columbia

Headline: Recovering the Space Shuttle Columbia

As the noise faded, debris started raining down into eastern Texas and western Louisiana.

No one knew immediately why Columbia fell. But the nation couldn’t help but think about the 9/11 terror attacks less than 18 months earlier. “It was a time when people were concerned about terrorism, and it couldn’t be ruled out right away,” said Michael Hillman, another FBI Dallas special agent.

Before NASA could provide any answers, it needed to recover as much of the shuttle as possible. More importantly, the crew needed to be found. The Federal Emergency Management Agency coordinated the overall disaster response, and tasked the FBI with finding, identifying, and recovering the crew.

Agents and professional staff also helped secure classified equipment and safely contain and recover hazardous materials. Chambers led an Evidence Response Team, while Hillman led a Hazardous Evidence Response Team.

About 500 FBI employees from Texas and Louisiana eventually worked the recovery effort. They were part of a massive team of professionals and volunteers—more than 25,000 people from 270 organizations helped search 2.3 million acres.
