Speaker: Daniel Jewiss, President - The RAK Academy
Dan retired in 2021 after serving 23 years with the Connecticut State Police. He began his career as a road Trooper, patrolling the northwest corner of CT, and serving as a Desk Trooper. He then
spent 12 years as a Detective in the Western District Major Crime Squad, where he investigated
numerous felony cases such as homicides, bank robberies, sexual assaults, financial crimes and
most notably, the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting. As the Lead Investigator of that
tragedy, Dan still remains committed to supporting the victims and their families. Dan also spent 7
years as an Instructor at the CT State Police Training Academy, where his primary roles as a P.O.S.T.
certified instructor were teaching Leadership & Team-Building, Search & Seizure Case Law, as well
as Active Shooter Response.
Dan also served 20 years in the CT Army National Guard. During his military career, Dan served full-time for 3 years in Counterdrug Operations, where he helped establish military based training for local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. As a Sergeant First Class he was selected to be a TAC for Officer Candidate School (OCS), where he became a certified Army Instructor and Platoon Trainer. He helped develop, coordinate and conduct Leadership training to mentor soldiers to become commissioned officers in the United States Army. Dan eventually became the Chief Instructor at OCS and then the Battalion Operations Non-Commissioned Officer at the Leadership Regiment before he retired in 2011 at the rank of Master Sergeant.
In the private arena, Dan has been conducting training since 2008. He is the Founder and President of The RAK Academy, where Dan and his co-instructors teach easy to understand and affordable strategies to SAVE LIVES in Active Killer incidents. The RAK Academy’s primary audiences are 1st Responders, School Personnel, Houses of Worship Communities and Businesses. Dan is also a Senior Associate at Team Training Associates, a Certified Everything DiSC Workplace Instructor and a co-creator of Performance Leadership. In all his capacities, Dan strives to inspire his audiences to become positive influences in their families, workplaces, and communities. He is also the proud father of his two beautiful, adult daughters.
