Close Up Radio Spotlights Brenya Twumasi of Tactical Ops
in Business
San Antonio, TX - Self-actualized law enforcement officers who are in the habit of practicing “self TLC daily” are better able to serve the public with compassion and purpose. Law enforcement officers are public servants and do well to be cognizant of their high standing.
Dr. Brenya Twumasi briefs her Criminal Justice Paraprofessional Law enforcement students to take time out daily for a mini vacation of self (for approximately an hour each day). “If one wants to serve others with care, fortitude, compassion, and empathy, one should be mindful to care for oneself daily.”
Brenya lives to serve. Born in Ghana, where she attended boarding school (under the British model of education) she comes from a family of both national and international leaders. These family members taught their children resolve, hard work, service, and care for others.
Tactical Ops, Brenya’s consulting firm, is a security systems & Peace Gardens consulting firm. It has been awarded for the second time this year, 2024. Tactical Ops focuses on creating restorative justice principles, peace gardens, Artificial Intelligence, and security for both personal and business. Her 17 page article, Internet Radicalization of Extremists, was published March 2024 by The Journal of Forensic Sciences and Criminal Investigation.
Brenya looks at the future of Tactical Ops, “The goal is to support learning how to effectively serve members of our Global community.”
