Emails obtained by Hatewatch indicate that Gaundolo is working with the anti-Muslim media outlet聽Christian Reporter News聽(CRN) along with the Concho Valley Council of Governments, a聽voluntary organization of local governments based in San Angelo, to organize the visit. The training is open to citizens, law enforcement and clergy.聽

CRN claims over 30 law enforcement officers have signed up to attend. Guandolo and his anti-Muslim hate group, Understanding the Threat (UTT), are no stranger to San Angelo, having聽聽a similar training in October of 2017. 鈥淭his will not be the same presentation John did previously,鈥� CRN founder Kat Rowoldt told supporters in a recent email. 鈥淚 asked him to do a completely different training so if any of the Law Enforcement officers who attended last time wanted to return, they could, and receive TCOLE hours for it. You鈥檒l not want to miss this opportunity.鈥澛�

TCOLE stands for The Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, which is a state regulatory agency designed to oversee law enforcement training curriculum. Officers are required to complete a certain amount of training hours per year. Guandolo鈥檚 training seminars are聽steeped聽in anti-Muslim rhetoric and conspiracy theories, and have prompted other law enforcement agencies across the country to either distance themselves from previous UTT events or offer no credit to officers attending them.聽

In 2014, the Rappahannock Regional Criminal Justice Academy聽聽from a Guandolo training put on the Culpepper聽County Sheriff鈥檚 Office. And in 2015, the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office聽聽of a counter-terrorism seminar featuring Guandolo. That same year, the Denver Police Department聽聽a local detective to a UTT event in Colorado to identify any of its officers in attendance, presumably for re-training.

Last year, the National Sheriff鈥檚 Association rescinded its support of Guandolo after he was involved in a聽聽with a Minnesota sheriff at the group鈥檚 annual conference in Reno, Nevada. The altercation, which later led to a restraining order against Guandolo,聽聽from him accusing Sheriff Richard Stanek of working 鈥渨ith jihadis in the community.鈥� The charges against Guandolo have since been dropped.聽

Guandolo touts his FBI background to lend credibility to his training courses, which are offered to law enforcement and civilians alike. Often omitted, however, is the controversial manner in which he departed the federal law enforcement agency. In 2008, Guandolo resigned from the Bureau in聽聽after a number of ethical breaches and bizarre conduct, including admitting to having affairs with female FBI agents and a confidential source he was assigned to protect during the corruption case of former U.S. Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA); he also solicited that witness for a $75,000 donation for an anti-terrorism group.

After his departure from the FBI, Guandolo founded UTT and turned to a full-time career as an anti-Muslim fearmonger. During an event in 2011, he聽聽U.S. mosques were fronts for the Muslim Brotherhood, and that Muslim houses of worship in general, 鈥渄o not have a First Amendment right to do anything.鈥�

骋耻补苍诲辞濒辞听made headlines聽in March of 2018 for religiously profiling an unsuspecting Southwest Airlines employee on social media. The inflammatory post caused such an uproar that the airline was forced to聽, calling the now-deleted tweet 鈥渃ruel and inappropriate.鈥� He later聽聽on his post during a recent episode of UTT鈥檚 radio show. As it turns out, this was not the first time Guandolo has聽聽of unsuspecting airline employees and accused them of being 鈥渏ihadis.鈥�

Last month, a five-city Midwest聽speaking tour聽organized by UTT and the right-wing media outlet Worldview Weekend聽imploded聽after only the first night amidst widespread condemnation from local activists. This time around, Guandolo failed to advertise his San Angelo training, possibly in an attempt to avoid another public humiliation. Hatewatch reached out to the mayor of San Angelo as well as the executive director of the Concho Valley Council of Governments for comment, but neither responded by the time of publishing.聽
