Today we proudly announced that Steven Casstevens has joined our national advisory board. Currently serving as chief of police for the Buffalo Grove Police Department in Buffalo Grove, IL, Casstevens brings more than 37 years of local and national law enforcement leadership to this position.

As a member of our national advisory board, Casstevens will play a vital role in assisting in the development and execution of the organization’s mission by providing critical insights and valuable expertise to the president and CEO, Ralph Blackman, the staff and member companies.
