Gordon Brennan, President
Prior to forming Priority Protection Group, LLC (PPG), Gordon held multiple security roles in the public and private sectors for over 12 years. These include Embedded Corporate Security Manager, Special Agent in the U.S. Secret Service, and an agent on the Presidential Protective Division. Through these roles, Gordon has led and contributed to numerous executive protection details in New York City, conducted protective intelligence investigations, and provided security consulting at the executive and department-head levels. As an officer in the Army National Guard (Military Police) he served as the Detachment Commander and Anti-terrorism Officer.
Gordon’s experience in conducting behavioral threat assessments began as a Secret Service Agent investigating threats against the nation’s leaders. This transitioned into consulting leaders of organizations and teams of people who experienced concerning behavior at work and were not equipped to assess the level of risk related to such behavior. Gordon consulted department heads in Human Resources, Manufacturing, Legal, Property/Facilities, and Security. A multi-disciplinary behavioral threat assessment team was formed within a client organization, and with retained consulting, the team managed over 40 cases of concerning behavior.
Priority Protection Group develops Employee Security Awareness Training for clients in order to enable organizations to provide important personal safety concepts, techniques, and security principles to their workforce. In conjunction with training the workforce, Priority Protection Group trains leadership in how to respond to reports, from the workforce, of concerning behavior. This training ensures that concerns are brought to the right people for thorough resolution, the concerning behavior is addressed, and resources are provided to those involved so as to improve violence prevention processes within the organization.
In addition to conducting behavioral threat assessments, and Employee Security Awareness Training, Priority Protection Group performs security assessments in order to identify vulnerabilities and mitigate an adversary's impact to physical assets.

Gordon holds a Master's Degree in Homeland Security, and a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management. He is a member of industry-leading associations to include the American Society for Industrial Security (ASIS), and the Association of Threat Assessment Professionals (ATAP).
