Madeleine Gruen most recently worked in the Counter Terrorism Bureau of the NYPD as an Intelligence Analyst, analyzing terrorist and extremist-group capabilities and intentions; maintaining current knowledge of terrorist tradecraft and means of support, analyzing leads; and anticipating future tactical trends. She is the author of numerous articles and presentations for senior-level officials in law enforcement and the intelligence community, including the following:
“Radicalization Trends in the United States and Opportunities for Interdiction,” presented at a conference about "First Preventers," April 8, 2008;
“Takeover of Moderate Islamic Institutions: Radical Islamist Tactics at the Local Level,” published in The Sentinel by the West Point Combating Terrorism Center, February 2008; and
“Hizb ut-Tahrir: Radicalization Tactics and Disruption,” presented at a conference on radicalization sponsored by the NYPD, January 2008.
Ms. Gruen earned her B.A. from Sarah Lawrence College and a Master’s in Intelligence, Security, and Terrorism Studies from Knightsbridge University, Denmark, and she will soon receive her M.I.A. from the Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs. We look forward to her contributions.
