ABOUT SCOTT
Scott Driscoll spent most of his 33-year career in law enforcement as a youth officer with a local Connecticut police department, building a rapport with youth in the community and in the school system.
While serving on a federal task force combatting crimes against children, he conducted undercover investigations of crimes committed by people using computers and the Internet. Scott’s work reinforced his desire to inform people how they can protect themselves from the potential dangers of technology in an ever-increasingly-connected world.
Scott founded Internet Safety Concepts in 2007 with the goal of educating people with a clear message: if we don’t consider safety while we are online and using other technology, we can put ourselves and others in danger.
A passion for teaching
Scott’s passion for teaching developed from educating students on drug awareness and Internet safety. As his own expertise on Internet safety grew, so did his desire to share his knowledge with audiences of all ages.
“Scott’s honest and candid demeanor and very relevant presentation were engaging and impactful. Invaluable experience.”
Kate Stewart, Middle School Teacher
On making wise choices
“Based on my experience in law enforcement, as a resource for schools, and as a parent myself, I have seen the positive and negative results of being online.
What we do online right now has not only an immediate impact, but the potential for impact far into the future.
If we make wise choices about how we use technology, that impact can be positive and something we can be proud of. But if we neglect to focus on safety and good choices when we use technology, we risk doing something we may regret.”
Scott Driscoll, President, Internet Safety Concepts
