Euro Weekly · Interview

Paul H. Haertel, former Deputy Assistant Director of the FBI, gave an in-depth interview to Euro Weekly, where he speaks openly about his nearly thirty-year career with the FBI, his experience in counterterrorism, and why he chose to continue his work in the Czech Republic after leaving federal service.

"Security is not just about technology or armed response. It is built on preparedness, coordination, and trust between institutions and the public." Paul H. Haertel

The interview explores not only some of the most significant cases Paul Haertel worked on during his FBI career, but also today's evolving security threats, the protection of soft targets, crisis preparedness, and the experience he now brings to Europe through SIHASO.

✓ The experience he gained during nearly thirty years of service with the FBI.
✓ How security threats have evolved—from traditional terrorism to attacks against publicly accessible places.
✓ Why cooperation between law enforcement, public institutions, and local communities is essential for effective security.
✓ How he now applies his experience to developing SIHASO's security and crisis preparedness projects.
