While with Burns, Mr. Carino had security consulting responsibility for the Eastern Group. His duties included program management and project development.

In 1977, Mr. Carino took a leave of absence from Operational Systems, Inc. to establish and direct an off-campus BA Degree Program for Alvernia College in Criminal Justice and Security Administration. He served as a recruiter, advisor and instructor in several Criminal Justice and Security Administration courses.

This investigative experience also included extensive liaison with counterpart U.S. and foreign investigative/counter-intelligence agencies.

The investigative caseload under his responsibility exceeded 21,000 cases annually.
