Description

My guest today is Lionel D. Lio is a retired team leader who spent 15 years with theBelgian National Police - Directorate of Special Units, or DSU, also know as GroupDiane. I am excited to have Lio on The Debrief because his former unit is a fantasticteam who are constantly on the front lines for European counter terrorism operations,like the one we will discuss today.The operation we will be debriefing is a proactive warrant service against a Jihadist terror cell located in the small town of Verviers, Belgium that resulted in an extended gun fight and two suspects down. This raid was intended to, and did, prevent an imminent large-scale attack in Belgium by the terrorist cell that would later go on to commit bombings and attacks in Brussels and Paris. As is usually the case with The Debrief, we will discuss the responders and, whereappropriate, use their names and units because they are heroes and need to beremembered. We will NOT be using suspects names or identifying their specific groups,because they are criminals and terrorists and need to be forgotten.Books Recommended:No Hero: The Evolution of a Navy SEAL Hardcover – November 10, 2014by Mark Owen and Kevin Maurer – ISBN13: 978-0525954521Lio’s Book:In French - Terrorist Hunter | Editions RacineIn Dutch - Terroristenjager | Uitgeverij LannooContact Info:www.lioneld.belioneldofficial115@gmail.com

The Debrief is an interview-based podcast that tells the stories of the leaders of some of the world’s top law enforcement and military units – individuals who navigate dangerous situations with their highly effective teams every day. Jon Becker founded AARDVARK at just seventeen years old. The company started out as a climbing equipment business, often selling gear to SWAT teams and operators. After attending law school and working in police litigation, Becker realized that the best way he could serve tactical operators was by producing and providing high quality gear and products that would enhance operator safety on the job. After AARDVARK’s expansion and success, Becker founded PROJECT7, a provider of purpose-built, scalable, and configurable tactical platforms. Throughout this decades-long journey, Becker has learned invaluable lessons about the lives and work of law enforcement and tactical operators, leading him to a deep understanding of the principles and core values behind highly effective teams. After keynoting for many years on the leadership of elite units and what he terms “culture-centric” leadership, Becker is putting those lessons into The Debrief, a non-profit podcast that serves the wider public. Although The Debrief focuses on the stories of tactical officers and team leaders, the audience is much more broad: leaders from all spheres, including business, entrepreneurship, communications, healthcare, law enforcement, and much more, will be informed and inspired by the lessons The Debrief has to impart. Jon and guests will cover conversations that are relevant to leaders of any field, including accountability, psychology, risk taking, and collaboration. The primary goal of The Debrief is to share these stories in the hopes of making us all better leaders, better thinkers, and better people. Learn more at thedebrief.live
