Mark Conrad- Legal Committee Chairman
 David “Mark” Conrad is a retired Supervisory Special Agent with the U.S. Customs Service, Office of Internal Affairs. He was responsible for the internal integrity and security for areas encompassing nine states and two foreign locations. He has a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice, a Masters Degree in Criminal Justice Management and appeared on ABC’s PrimeTime Live in 1998 over the objections of the legacy Customs Service. He started law school while with internal affairs because he saw so many employees who were getting shafted by the system because they could not afford representation. He is licensed to practice in Texas and represents law enforcement officials that are victims of discrimination, whistleblower retaliation or are facing disciplinary or adverse actions by their agencies for on and off-duty conduct. He is presently a full time professor of Criminal Justice at Troy University in Dothan, Alabama where he teaches primarily courses in criminal law and procedure, federal rules of evidence, constitutional law and ethics for criminal justice practitioners. He teaches a 40-hour private sector course for Compuforensics, Inc. (www.compuforensics.com) entitled “Legal issues in Computer Forensics.” He is an Associate General Counsel for the National Association of Federal Agents, a charter member of the National Security Whistleblowers’ Coalition and is considering a request by some to run for Congress in 2008. Because he is in recovery from alcoholism, he understands the very destructive nature of that disease and is active in helping others recover from alcohol and drug addition through a 12-step program as well as helping them protect their rights as guaranteed under the Americans with Disability Act. |
