Beyond the Badge: Crime, Justice, and the FBI in Thailand.

Retired FBI Agent John Schachnovsky says the 10 years of his 25-year law enforcement career that he spent as the FBI representative to Thailand was the highlight of his career.  When he retired in 2019, he recognized there was so much he could write about his unique career and his time in Thailand.

‍

Beyond the Badge explores how the trust, goodwill, and long-term relationships he built with his Thai counterparts lead to the capture of numerous dangerous criminals in cases that transcended borders. Providing a behind the scenes view of high-profile incidents like the shocking death of famous Hollywood actor David Carradine at a high end hotel in Bangkok, the apprehension of a notorious kidnapper subject to an Interpol Red Notice, the extradition of a suspect in the murder of a United States Marine, and responding to overseas terrorism, Beyond the Badge takes you to the frontlines international crime in Thailand and the region.

‍

John will share the highlights of his journey in Thailand with the FBI, and explain how he did his work as the FBI’s “man in Bangkok”.  His presentation will be followed by a question and answer session with the author, and there will be opportunities to purchase the book at the event.

Speaker:  John Schachnovsky, Author of Beyond the Badge-Crime, Justice, and the FBI in Thailand
