Special Kennedy Detail Seminar for Maryland Law Enforcement on May 20, 2011

Clint Hill and I will be guest speakers at a special training Seminar sponsored by the Maryland Chief’s Association On The Psychological Impact of Trauma.

For decades, neither I nor Clint Hill ever talked about what happened. Clint said "I was given a responsibility, I was the only agent in a position to do anything that day and I failed in my responsibility to do that. Therefore, I still feel that sense of guilt."

I too repressed the anger, guilt and sadness for more than four decades."We had no trauma counseling whatsoever. We had to swallow it in our fashion." Working on The Kennedy Detail book was cathartic, and a welcome release of pent up emotions.


Details below:

The Maryland State Police the Gaithersburg Police Department and the Maryland Chief’s Association are pleased to announce a training seminar entitled “The Kennedy Detail – Psychological Impact of Trauma.” Guest Speakers include U.S. Secret Service Special Agents Gerald Blaine and Clint Hill.

On hand to answer questions, dispel myths, and provide additional information will be Dr. Liz Beth Binks, Maryland State Police Psychological Services.
