On the Qverity website Bill proclaims himself to be a "decorated" ex-cop (NYPD).
"Bill Stanton is a recognized expert in the field of safety and security, the outcome of a stellar 25-year career in law enforcement and private security. Bill began his career as a decorated NYPD officer, and subsequently moved to the private sector, where he specialized in executive protection and investigations."
Not so much. He was still a rookie when he injured himself, and ended his career as a cop, in a Rambo moment...
"Landing in debris on the tracks, Stanton severed the tendon and some nerves in his right hand. The injury required several surgeries, and then almost a year of physical therapy. But in the end, he was still unable to produce the sixteen pounds of pressure required to pull the double-action trigger on a .38, the NYPD's standard-issue weapon back then. As a result, Bill Stanton's career as a cop was over."
The rest of the above incident is so well worth the read.... The Not So Private Eye
"But he was always a dreamer. We'd park sometimes when there was a lull, and he'd talk about being a star. Not an actor necessarily, but some kind of celebrity, something in that life."

I like this thread. It's fresh and new!
ETA: Wait--I posted this in the WRONG THREAD! Clearly, either three threads are too many or my brain went missing!
:ufo:
BBM, That is really sad. Not that I favor a .38, but to not be able to shoot one? If he does private security what does he carry? What kind of security is he involved in? Has his hand completely healed since then?
A little to late. How long has this poor child been missing?
Is there any word about the upcoming press conference BS promised to discuss the promising new leads in Lisa's disappearance, back in February?
We set up an experiment in Mamaroneck, N.Y. Working with police, we printed fake "missing" posters and hung them everywhere from trees to lampposts, even inside Boiano Bakery, a local hot spot we wired with hidden cameras. We even put a camera inside the poster, right at the register.
Here's the good news: Alyssa wasn't really missing. She's an actress who was working with us. We had her walk into the bakery with a strange man holding her by the arm. He was working with us too: Bill Stanton, a security expert.
Is Tacopina still on the parents' team? I was doing some searching, and I can only find mention of Picerno in the anniversary articles...
