WAUKESHA – A special agent with the Milwaukee office of the FBI will speak to a Contemporary Social Problems class at the University of Wisconsin-Waukesha Monday evening, September 18. The class will meet in Northview Room 055 that day, and his presentation will begin at 6:15 p.m. The public is welcome, and there is no charge.
A specialist in counterterrorism, Roger Morrison had been a police officer and detective in his home state of Pennsylvania before he joined the FBI in 1989. Initially, he worked in organized crime and drugs and violent crime units but was taken off to supervise the Oklahoma City bombing command post. This led to anti-gang work in Wisconsin. In December 2002 he was appointed unit chief of the National Joint Terrorism Task Force (NJTTF), comprised of 40 agencies representing law enforcement, intelligence, diplomatic, defense, public safety, and homeland security communities. As part of the counterterrorism division, he responded to the December 2003 holiday threat and was part of the 2004 Presidential election threat task force. He received the Attorney General’s award for distinguished service.
In July 2005, Morrison was promoted to assistant special agent in charge of the Milwaukee Division of the FBI and directs the national security mission in Wisconsin, including intelligence programs, counterterrorism, and counterintelligence investigations and operations. He served as acting special agent in charge of the Milwaukee Division this past summer.
Jacquelyn Oliveira, Wauwatosa, a lecturer in sociology, teaches the class.
Parking in University lots is free after 5:00 p.m.
