A COP’S SON: ONE G-MAN’S FIGHT AGAINST JIHAD, GLOBAL FRAUD AND THE CARTELS

April 23, 2025 - The meeting will be held at Little America at 12 Noon.
Ken Strange, Author
A COP’S SON: ONE G-MAN’S FIGHT AGAINST JIHAD, GLOBAL FRAUD AND THE CARTELS

Kenneth Strange Jr. was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1955.  A former FBI Special Agent with the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), DOJ Special Agent in Charge, former PI and current author, Ken came out in 2023 with an award-winning true crime memoir, A Cop’s Son: One G-Man’s Fight Against Jihad, Global Fraud, and the Cartels.

This true crime memoir has not only been hailed as ‘gripping’ and ‘compelling’ by Ray Kelly, former two-time NYC Police Commissioner, and Bill Bratton, former NYC Police Commissioner and LA Police Chief, but described as “required reading” by a former Assistant Inspector General of the CIA.

Strange served with three distinct and distinguished federal agencies (FBI, US Agency for International Development and the Department of Justice) during a highly decorated 21-year career.  

Kenneth Strange has both an MBA from the Thunderbird School of Global Management in Arizona and a master’s in liberal studies from SUNY New York.  He speaks Spanish and Basic Arabic.

Kenneth Strange has appeared on numerous cable TV channels and podcasts as a law enforcement Subject Matter Expert (SME).  He has also been a contributing writer to The Hill and Daily Caller.  Strange’s third book, Land of Sand, scheduled to debut in late 2025, is a ‘coming of age’ love story set in the Middle East.

In his spare time, Ken enjoys hiking, reading and traveling. He is married to an RN, has twin adult children and lives in Ventura County, California. He recently became a grandfather for the second time.

Professional Clothing for LCCC Students
PP Cindy Pomeroy is PP Lucie Osborn's Rotary Hero for the creation of the LCCC Cindy and Bill Pomeroy Professional Clothes Closet.  The purpose is to provide LCCC students with professional clothes such as nice pants, dresses, suits, shirts, ties, etc. The students often don't have professional clothes to wear when doing a class presentation or going on an interview.  There is no cost to the student.  People can donate professional looking clothes they no longer need to the Closet which is located near the Student Lounge. 
Paul Harris Awards
President Beth and Foundation Chair Lori Schoene gifted Michelle Stephenson with her first Paul Harris Award for her piano music before our Rotary Meetings.
 
Dave Bartlett gifted Will Jones his PH+2 for his work on the peaches fundraiser and his musical talents which he shares with the Club.  Congratulating Will and Dave are President Beth and Foundation Chair Lori.
Rotary Hero
Foundation Chair Lori Schoene is President Beth's Rotary Hero for all the work she does with the Rotary Foundation.  Beth gave Lori a gift of golf items.
Call for RYLA Youth
Brenna Day-Harris encourged Rotarians to ask teens they may know to apply for RYLA at the meeting last week.
