About Our Speaker:
Scott Driscoll spent most of his 33-year career in law enforcement as a youth officer with a local Connecticut police department, building a rapport with youth in the community and in the school system While serving on a federal task force combatting crimes against children, he conducted undercover investigations of crimes committed by people using computers and the Internet.  Scott’s work reinforced his desire to inform people how they can protect themselves from the potential dangers of technology in an ever-increasingly-connected world. Scott founded Internet Safety Concepts in 2007 with the goal of educating people with a clear message:  if we don’t consider safety while we are online and using other technology, we can put ourselves and others in danger.
