Careers Built on Protecting Communities and Schools
MATT GREER
MATT GREER
His passion for threat assessment began while serving as a Lieutenant in the Austin Police Department. There, he was assigned as Director of the Austin Regional Intelligence Center (ARIC), one of eighty fusion centers recognized by the Department of Homeland Security. Besides overseeing the day to day activities of the ARIC, Matt supervised detectives on the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and officers on the US Marshals Fugitive Task Force. Matt not only served the citizens of Austin, but also served on the board of directors of the National Fusion Center Association.
During his tenure at the ARIC, Matt witnessed both the Santa Fe, Texas and Parkland, Florida school shootings and was intimately involved in the Austin bombing investigation. These incidents sparked he and his team to partner with the FBI and DHS to look for solutions, which included training school administrators and law enforcement officials on how and why to form threat assessment teams, as well as the importance of data collection and information sharing.
Matt Greer retired from the Austin Police Department in 2019 and carried his knowledge of threat assessment and violence prevention to an Austin area school district, where he currently serves as Chief of Police. Matt understands how to leverage technology to detect behavior that may be indicative of self-harm or violence towards others. The processes and technology partnerships Matt has established are effective and efficient. A father himself, Matt Greer is dedicated to early intervention and support as a means of prevention.
Matt’s philosophy is, if a student makes an expressed or implied threat, or carries out an act of violence or self-harm, we’ve missed something. He believes, while the law enforcement and education communities have become adept at responding to acts of violence, its time to shift our focus to prevention.
