KJK Consulting was founded by Sgt. Willie Ford — a decorated public servant whose career spans over four decades of protecting communities. With more than 20 years of service in the United States Army and a 28-year career with the Dallas Police Department, Sgt. Ford brings a depth of real-world experience that no classroom can replicate.
His expertise spans military operations and intelligence, law enforcement strategy, community policing, threat assessment, and crisis response, giving KJK Consultants a unique authority in the public safety and preparedness space.
The Be Prepared Symposium is a direct extension of that mission — bringing the same level of discipline, preparedness, and community commitment that defined Sgt. Ford’s career directly to churches, synagogues, and charter schools across the DFW region.
