(OTCQB: LDDFF) (FRANKFURT: LD2), a leading concealed weapons and

has added Linda L. Jacksta to its board of directors. Jacksta has
35 years of experience with U.S. Customs & Border Protection

At CBP, Jacksta led efforts to manage threats to border security
while also resolving operational challenges. She established an
enterprise data analytics organization by enhancing partnerships
with the intelligence community, creating CBP's National Use and
Force Control Board. Her most recent role was serving as the Deputy
Executive Assistant Commissioner for Operations Support where she
directed CBP intelligence, forensics, incident management, and
international affairs functions. As Executive Director for the
Cargo System Program Office, she led modernization efforts inside
CBP's multi-billion-dollar import/export system.
"Ms. Jacksta is an excellent addition to Liberty Defense's Board
of Directors given her specialized experience leading vital
security operations with CBP, particularly as Liberty continues to
develop technology to service the aviation security sector and
other points of entry, including seaports," Liberty Defense CEO
Bill Frain said. "Throughout her
decorated career, Linda has built an impressive network and
incredible depth and breadth of expertise relating to border
security operations and a strong understanding of the industry
priorities from the perspective of the federal government."
Jacksta is currently the President of the J2 Consulting Group
and studied at Thomas Edison State University. She also completed
the Senior Executive Fellow program at the Harvard Kennedy School
of Government in Boston and
received the prestigious Presidential Rank Award, Meritorious
Executive, for her leadership contributions to the U.S. federal
government.
"I am pleased to have the opportunity to provide my expertise to
Liberty Defense, which is developing a number of technologies that
have the potential to enhance the success of security operations in
both the private and public sectors, to keep more people safe,
while also optimizing the experience itself," Jacksta said.
"Technology has evolved rapidly in the past several years, and we
now have the tools to advance the way that we handle security
operations. I look forward to working closely with Liberty Defense
to guide them as they engage with projects in my sphere of
expertise."
