Dr. Robert "Bobby" Sullivan spent three decades policing in Central Florida, with over two decades dedicated to narcotics enforcement. During his career, he served as an undercover detective, detective sergeant, and commander over narcotics, intelligence, street gang, and counter-terrorism units. He also worked as an adjunct training specialist for the Institute for Police Technology and Management at the University of North Florida, teaching courses on undercover operations, wiretapping, surveillance, police ethics and leadership, and drug unit leadership to over 1,000 police leaders nationwide.

Bobby has a particular interest in the causation and effects of radical Islamic terrorism and has traveled extensively to Israel to study the topic. Upon retiring from law enforcement, he joined his alma mater, Saint Leo University, where he teaches undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral courses in criminal investigations, police leadership and management, terrorism, cold case homicides, ethical decision-making, and police organization and administration.

In addition to conducting threat assessments, Bobby has led full-scale “Active-Shooter” drills and lectures extensively on this issue. He annually takes counter-terrorism students to the Middle East to study with the Israeli Defense Forces, Israeli police, and Israeli Special Forces. His other research passion is investigating cold case homicides, particularly those involving missing victims. His first book, Murders Without Bodies, was recently published.
