Leadership.
“Effective violence recognition and response programs include changing the culture and engagement of your workplace, school, or agency. It is not just about responding to the threat of harm but creating an atmosphere of partnership and trust to encourage connections and provide a strong foundation for moving forward in a safer environment.”
- Rachael Frost, Chief Executive Officer, Frost ICED
About Frost ICED
Investigation, Consultation, Education & Development
Protecting our schools, workplaces, communities, families, and students from harm is our primary responsibility as justice, corporate, human resources, education, mental health, legal, and government agency professionals.
Understanding, recognizing, and responding to violence is often not as simple as receiving a threat or declaration, but is about identifying behaviors of concern and intervening before anyone comes to harm. Knowing how to address all of these concerns effectively can help save lives, both physically and emotionally.
Effective violence recognition is not just about pre-planning logistics, but includes agency and partner relationships, investigation considerations, victim trauma and triggering moments, working across disciplines as a team, media integration, and so much more. Following an act of violence with healing and support is about looking beyond the basics and learning from the strengths and resiliency of those who have already experienced tragedy.
All of these requirements are met through effective Investigation, Consultation, Education, and Development.

Dean Spivacke
Director of Investigations, Frost ICED
After more than a 30-year career in law enforcement, Dean has a wide variety of patrol and special teams’ history such as K9, SWAT, and narcotics. But his true expertise was developed after promoting to investigator where he excelled in child abuse investigations and then at the Riverside Sheriff’s Department’s Central Homicide Unit where he was involved in the investigation of more than 500 murders, 100+ of which were child homicides, as well as approximately 100 officer-involved shooting investigations. Dean was the investigator everyone turned to when it was time to roundtable an incident, a problem, a subject, the evidence. His perspective and experience were invaluable to learn how to approach investigations from all angles and with all available tactics and ideas from digital search warrants, interviews, and out-of-the-box case examples.
Dean promoted to sergeant within the Homicide unit, and later as a sergeant and then lieutenant he was responsible for supervising patrol functions and law enforcement services, and served as an Assistant Police Chief for two complex contract cities. He holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology, a master’s degree in organizational leadership, and is an adjunct professor at both Riverside City and Mt. San Jacinto Colleges. In addition to sharing his leadership and experience as Frost ICED’s Director of Investigations, specializing in case evaluation and investigation into violence and abuse litigation, Dean also trains for our ACTION Academy.
