Glenn Grana is a Professor of Intelligence Studies in the Homeland Security and Applied Intelligence program at Roberts Wesleyan College. He began his 21-year career in law enforcement with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office in Rochester, New York. Glenn spent over 10 years assigned to the Criminal Investigation Division, primarily as a narcotics investigator, and was also a member of the Narcotics Tactical Warrant Unit. As a member of the Sheriffs Hostage Recovery Team, Glenn served as a Hostage Negotiator and was one of two lead negotiators during the longest standoff in that unit’s history.

After his retirement from Law Enforcement Glenn worked under a U.S. Department of State contract as a Police Advisor in Afghanistan as part of a Police Mentor Team, a unit comprised of military and civilian personnel dedicated to teaching the fledgling Afghanistan Police the basics of policing and investigations. He then accepted a position with the U.S. Department of Defense as a Police Advisor working in Iraq and was assigned to the US Army 10th Mountain Division conducting the investigation and assessment of Dangerous Radical Terrorist and Enduring Security Threat Terrorists taken into custody during Operation Enduring Freedom. The purpose was to create prosecution packages to be presented to the Central Criminal Court of Iraq for prosecutorial consideration.

Upon his return from the Middle East Glenn accepted a position with an upstate NY law enforcement intelligence center, serving as an Intelligence Analyst and Supervisor.
