He possess expertise in protection, personal security, security operations, intelligence, physical security and 45 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Lawrence DeMonico is a friend, colleague, and one of the best people I know. Over the years, it has been an honor to work alongside Lawrence. He is a consummate professional and is extremely knowledgeable in a broad range of topics to include intelligence and intelligence operations, executive and high-threat protection, anti-piracy and maritime operations, crisis management and crisis response, and operational planning. Even for most business related issues such as management, administration, marketing and statistics, Lawrence is at the top of my list. He is very well rounded and considered by many to be a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in more than just a few areas. Lawrence's personal character is based on a solid foundation of integrity, loyalty, and selflessness. Over the years, I've never seen Lawrence make a decision that didn't put his team first; even to his own detriment. For that reason, he is well liked and respected across the community. I can't think of anyone that doesn't hold Lawrence in the highest regard. As an example of Lawrence's character, I'd like to point out a specific event. In the Fall of 2011, Lawrence tread water in a pool for 24 consecutive hours without stopping, taking a break, or touching the sides. He did this to raise college tuition money for a fallen comrade's daughter. In amazement at his dedication and commitment to a friend passed, hundreds of people stopped by to witness the event. Over the 24 hour period, Lawrence battled exhaustion and hypothermia but refused to quit. When the clock was counting down and culminated with the crowd shouting 3, 2, 1, and erupting into cheers, a small team of people had to assist Lawrence out of the pool. Before being shuttled off to get checked out by the medical staff, it had been announced that Lawrence had raised more than 25 thousand dollars to assist with her college education. Lawrence DeMonico defines the term, "Quiet Professional". Based on his knowledge, experience, personal character, and our history together, I would proudly serve with him again any time and in any environment. In fact, I can't think of anyone that wouldn't do the same." and "Lawrence DeMonico is a friend and colleague that I would recommend for the most challenging of tasks. I have had the pleasure of working with Lawrence since 2002, where he has been entrusted with a great deal of responsibility and earned a great deal of respect. Lawrence has stood out from others due to his quality of work, professionalism and leadership. He is also fun to be around. When deadlines loom, tension can build. But Lawrence always knew how to add levity to the situation to relieve stress and keep the team on task."
