Doug Muldoon is a Sr. Director of Law Enforcement Relations after a law enforcement career of more than 38 years. Doug is a retired Chief of Police for the Palm Bay Police Department in Florida, Sr. Director Muldoon serves as the liaison between ecoATM and the many law enforcement agencies it works closely with domestically and internationally to uphold strict, extensive security standards and practices made possible by its partnership with law enforcement.

Doug began his law enforcement career in 1976 with the Palm Bay Police Department in East Central Florida. He worked in an agency that covered a city of 65 square miles and at the time had a population of approximately 7,500. During his career he worked in all areas of the police department and became a part of the senior staff in 1983 holding the rank of Lieutenant. During the 1980’s Palm Bay was one of the top 10 cities for growth in the United States. In 1987, Muldoon was promoted to Captain and Major in 1994. In 2002 he was promoted to Deputy Chief before being appointed Chief of Police in February 2011, marking the first time in more than 36 years an internal candidate achieved that rank. The city has since grown to a population of more than 109,000 residents within more than 100 square miles and is Central Florida’s second-largest city.

Doug attended the FBI National Academy in April of 1988. He was active with the Florida Chapter and became a board member in 1994 and Chapter President in 1998. In 1999 he was appointed as the Executive Secretary – Treasurer of this organization with more than 800 members. In 2005 Doug was elected to the FBINAA Executive Board and served as the President of this international organization representing more than 16,000 members in more than 170 countries. In 2014 Doug assumed a role with the FBINAA Charitable Foundation and serves as the Chairman of that board. He is also active in several other organizations.

United States Congressman Bill Posey recognized Chief Muldoon for his accomplishments in the Congressional Record December 2, 2013.

In 2013 he was recognized along with Dr. Peter Pappas by Transforming Local Governments Alliance for Innovations for developing the Tac-Tel medicine program. This provides a secured video feed into the trauma center at Health First Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne FL whenever SWAT is deployed. It permits a trauma surgeon to triage injures an officer or others may receive during a critical incident and allows them to visually prepare for the individual to be received in the hospital already having seen the extent of the injuries via video from the scene.

Chief Muldoon also coordinated a partnership with IntegenX Company in Pleasanton, California to develop the first ever Rapid DNA technology in the world. This first Rapid DNA machine can provide DNA profiles within 90 minutes in an office setting. In 2012 at the International Chiefs of Police Association conference held in San Diego, a press conference was held to announce the technology was now available worldwide. We received international recognition for this partnership.
