Biographical Information Frank A. Bolz Jr.

Frank A. Bolz Jr. served with the New York City Police Department for more than 27 years. He rose through the ranks to that of Detective Captain. In 1972, after the tragedy of the Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics, Bolz took part in the formation of the Department's "Guidelines for Barricaded Felons and Hostage Confrontations". He, with Dr. Harvey Schlossberg, selected and trained the new Hostage Negotiating Team, and became the Commanding Officer and Chief Negotiator. He remained in that role for almost ten years, during which time he personally negotiated in more than 285 incidents, bringing about the safe release of more than 850 hostages, without the loss of life. Frank Bolz was also the City-Wide Kidnap Taskforce Coordinator, training Detectives in all phases of Kidnap Investigation and personally participating in 25 actual investigations.

He has trained representatives from over 3900 Law Enforcement Agencies in the U.S., Canada and abroad, including the F.B.I., the U.S. Secret Service, the State Department, and the United Nations.

He has authored numerous articles and training films on these subjects, and co-authored the book "Hostage Cop" , authored the book "How to be a Hostage, and Live", and also contributed to the book "Terrorism: The Threat , The Reality, The Response" by Dr. Robert Kupperman and Darrell Trent, published by the Hoover Institute of Stanford University, California.
