Petrino Properties Inc

I founded Petrino Properties after having an egregious experience with an agent when buying my first home. I realized that the process should be more about the customer than the commission. That’s why our motto is “Real Estate The Right Way.”

Today, Petrino Properties, Inc. provides comprehensive residential services from Miami to Port Saint Lucie. With more than 20 years of real estate experience, our boutique firm specializes in buying, selling, and luxury residential properties - we are widely considered the authority in the Coral Springs area.

Broward College

I instruct new cadets in the basic Law Enforcement Curriculum for the State of Florida. Areas of instruction include Officer Safety and Situational Awareness, Narcotics, Crisis Response, Suicide, Substance Abuse, and Firearms.

Adjunct Instructor

Plantation Police Department

As SWAT Commander, I supervised a 26 Operator SWAT Team including operators, snipers, and medics. I was responsible for tactical command during critical incidents such as hostage situations, barricaded subjects, and high-risk search and arrest warrants. Additionally, I led tactical training sessions for SWAT Operators and patrol officers in operational planning, policy creation and review, and budgeting. As a part of my role, I successfully ran a tactical team involved in the  2017 Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooting and provided active shooter training for over 1,500 law enforcement officers and civilians. Additionally, I was tasked with creating security plans for large events, coordinating and conducting security details for political figures, and conducting security and threat assessments for private organizations such as businesses, hospitals, schools, and houses of worship.

Another key responsibility was the planning and operating of large-scale events for the city, such as parades and holiday celebration events. This required working with stakeholders, administration, and the public to ensure the event was safe and ran efficiently. 

As the Supervisor of the Street Crime Unit, I developed extensive experience in long and short-term investigations relating to narcotics, prostitution, human trafficking, robbery, burglary, and fugitive apprehension. I oversaw daily operations, monitored officer performance, and implemented strategies to enhance the department’s efficiency, including budgets, inventory, and special reports.

Leveraging safety, we boost productivity by 21%, reduce mistakes by 50%, and increase revenues fourfold. We shift the paradigm from employees being potential victims to empowered sentinels of their own safety.
