Experience

 

Mr. Millwee is the author of The SecurTest System of over 320 applicant and employment questionnaires. Mr. Millwee specializes in workplace violence prevention and intervention, crisis management, employee misconduct such as theft, sexual harassment, and management and employee training to defuse the potential for workplace violence or employment liability.

 

Mr. Millwee has testified as an expert witness in the fields of workplace violence, negligent hiring, retention, screening, security, polygraph, and police procedures. He is a crisis management consultant to many American corporations conducting violence and threat assessments. He is the author of SecurViolence and SecurThreat, custom threat assessment questionnaires. He is also the author of two questionnaires, SecurHarass, for helping employers conduct investigations of sexual harassment complaints. 

 

The CPP (Board Certified in Security Management) distinction demonstrates a significant level of competency in the security profession through arduous testing, background qualifications and the promotion of high standards of professional conduct.  He has been re-certified by the Professional Certification Board of ASIS in 1998 and 2001 meeting its continuing education and ethical requirements. He has also served on the ASIS CPP Role Delineation Committee for updating questions for their certification tests in 1998. His committee developed information in the investigation, negligent hiring and retention, negligent security, and workplace violence disciplines.

 

Mr. Millwee lectures nationally on human resource and security issues. He lectures with the Department of Homeland Security, Council On Education In Management, ASIS International, National Safety Council, Society for Human Resource Management, Institute of Business Law (California State University, Los Angeles), Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA), National Food Service Security Council, among others. His highly rated lectures include screening of applicants and employees, workplace violence, defusing disgruntled and violent workers, domestic violence, negligent security, employee theft, fraud prevention, employee investigations, hostage survival, robbery survival, negligent hiring and retention, interview and interrogation, leadership development, and written testing.

 

Mr. Millwee's expertise and techniques are listed in the first edition (1997) second edition (1998), and fifth edition (2002) of Security Business Practices Reference, published by ASIS International (American Society for Industrial Security.)   He was a founding member of the editorial board of Loss Prevention Professional from 2001 to 2003.  A well-published author, his most recent articles appear below.

 

Previously, Mr. Millwee was the lead detective in the Unsolved Murder Unit of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office in Tampa, Florida. He was responsible for all murder investigations that remained unsolved over six months. Mr. Millwee formerly was with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington D.C. He served in law enforcement seven years.

 

In 26 years (August 22, 1978) of helping corporations and government agencies defuse hostile or threatening employees, no incidents of retaliatory violence have occurred using the methods and counsel offered by Mr. Millwee. Moreover, The SecurTest System has never been successfully challenged in court since it uncovers objective biographical "confessions" that are of "business necessity" versus attempting to predict the future. The Plaintiffs dismissed the only court challenge on the eve of his deposition.

 

Mr. Millwee is also a management consultant to many corporations and professional associations helping them find HR, business, security, and leadership solutions to meet their diverse needs.  He is often called on to negotiate difficult terminations into voluntary separations to help mitigate liability and security risks.  His years of experience in business management help employers find alternatives that are often unavailable from internal resources.
