While the hard realities of international geopolitics bring their own set of issues to the table, policy is not shaped
in a vacuum. Even policy that might seem as though it should be straight forward like the kind in governing the life
and death vital work of first responders is subject to these factors. This presentation will examine how politics,
the media and public opinion come into play in shaping policy options and how to navigate in this complex arena.

CBRNE Speaker 4
Global Influence on Organized Crime
Dr. Igor Shafhid
The end of the Soviet Union in 1991 started the free Russian enterprise, which bred the most dangerous and
influential criminal organizations on a global scale. These mobsters branched out globally and have become
powerfully meshed together with huge business and government organizations, so much so that that they now
control and sell gas, oil, minerals, energy, gold, diamonds, and armory on a world-wide scale. Dr. Shafhid will
describe the roots of these criminal groups, their influences in the global market, and where the U.S. fits into
their corrupt system.
