Modern Fortis Secures Bipartisan Passage of H.R. 2096 – Protecting Our Nation’s Capital Emergency Act

Modern Fortis

Modern Fortis, a national public safety government affairs firm, applauds the bipartisan House passage of H.R. 2096, the Protecting Our Nation’s Capital Emergency Act. Authored and led by Congressman Andrew Garbarino (R-NY) and managed by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), the legislation passed the United States House of Representatives with the support of thirty (30) Democrats—a powerful statement that public safety comes before politics. “When we undermine law enforcement, we embolden the criminals. This legislation restores fairness and support for the men and women who risk their lives to keep our capital secure. If Washington, D.C. won’t fix this problem, it’s our job to,” said Congressman Garbarino. Steered by Chairman Gregg Pemberton and the DC Police Union, H.R. 2096 restores basic rights and protections for Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers, reversing radical anti-police, anti-public safety provisions enacted by the D.C. Council in 2022. “Thirty Democrats joined Republicans because supporting police officers and public safety is not a partisan issue—it’s common sense,” said Joe Cameron, CEO of Modern Fortis. “We thank Congressman Garbarino for his leadership, and we look forward to reinstating key protections for our MPD officers, so they can keep us safe.” H.R. 2096 now heads to the U.S. Senate, and Modern Fortis urges swift action so the measure can be sent to President Donald J. Trump to be signed into law. Modern Fortis continues to chart new maps in the public safety sectorâturning advocacy into action and ensuring that the voices of Americaâs law enforcement professionals and those who support them are heard at every level of government.

Sheon Karol Joins West Lane Partners as Senior Advisor

West Lane Partners

West Lane Partners, a private equity firm focused on special situations in middle market companies spanning healthcare, tech, financial services and industrials, is pleased to announce that Sheon Karol, a nationally recognized investment banker and restructuring advisor, has joined the firm as a Senior Advisor. Mr. Karol brings over three decades of experience in investment banking, restructuring, and senior corporate leadership, with deep expertise in complex M&A, capital raises, and operational turnarounds. Skilled in de-risking situations, he brings a flexible yet disciplined approach that favors iterative decision-making over rigid or binary choices. His ability to surface a range of strategic options, often under pressure, has made him a trusted advisor to owners navigating both opportunity and uncertainty. His contributions to the field have earned national recognition, including the “Boutique Investment Banker of the Year” award from the Atlas Awards. “Sheon and I have been in the trenches together on complex deals. He’s masterful at aligning stakeholders, cutting through noise, and adapting in real time to keep transactions on course. Where others see roadblocks, he sees possibility—and responds with clarity and flexibility,” said Deryck Palmer, Founder and Managing Partner at West Lane Partners. “His dynamic approach, experience, and deep market insight into the industries on which we’re focused, and an instinct for what owners value most, makes him an exceptional addition to our firm.” “I think of the middle market as the river less fished” said Mr. Karol. “Middle market companies are often overlooked, undercapitalized, and underserved by institutional talent. At West Lane Partners, our focus on investments between $25 million and $75 million is about more than deal size—it’s about bringing high-caliber insight to businesses at pivotal moments and tailoring strategic options to match the evolving goals of owners and the realities of the market. The result is not just getting deals done, but generating long-term value others might miss.” Mr. Palmer added, “I’ve always been impressed by Sheon’s expertise, creativity, positivity and determination to get the best for his clients. These qualities enable him to inexorably bring difficult situations to their best possible conclusion and there are few who bring such capabilities to the middle market.” About Sheon Karol Mr. Karol has advised on high-stakes transactions across a myriad of industries in the middle market, including manufacturing, biotech, pharma, for-profit education, medical research, agriculture, consumer goods, food & grocery, sports, and technology. Mr. Karol has successfully executed a wide range of strategic transactions, including M&A advisory, capital raises, and restructurings, for both healthy and distressed businesses and their stakeholders. He has also served in executive capacities, including as Chief Restructuring Officer of a $1 billion company, for which he renegotiated the company's debt and avoided a bankruptcy filing. Many of Mr. Karol’s transactions, including Violin Memory and Peekay Boutiques, have won awards. He served as SVP of Winn-Dixie and managed the company's sale of assets in excess of $200 million and the disposition of 326 stores (in a 90-day period); guided the auction and sale of Farmland’s nitrogen fertilizer business that exceeded the “stalking horse” bid by $25 million; advised the CRO in the sale of the Texas Rangers baseball team; and advised foreign buyers in their U.S. expansion. Trustee positions include the Violin Memory and Lily Robotics Trusts. A middle market M&A thought leader, he writes and lectures widely, including on entrepreneurship, auction theory, sale processes, the middle market and foreign buyers. He holds FINRA SIE, Series 63 and Series 79 certifications. Mr. Karol received a J.D. from Yale Law School and a B.A. from Yeshiva College. About West Lane Partners West Lane Partners is a private equity firm whose senior leadership has over 150 years of collective restructuring and private equity experience working with underperforming, stressed and distressed companies across a range of industries in both large cap and middle market companies.

The NAVEX 2025 Regional Whistleblowing Benchmark Report Highlights the Rise in Anonymous Reports

NAVEX Global

NAVEX, the global leader in integrated risk and compliance management software, announces the findings of its 2025 Regional Whistleblowing & Incident Management Benchmark Report. It features an in-depth analysis of 2.15 million reports (the highest level ever) from NAVEX customers that received 10 or more internal reports in 2024. The analysis and report cover over 4,000 organisations across Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), North America and South America, representing nearly 70 million employees covered by their programs. Key findings include: Report Volume: Organisations headquartered in North America received more than twice the report volume of those in Europe and Asia Pacific. When comparing 2023 and 2024, Europe saw the largest increase (0.49 to 0.67 reports per 100 employees) to the highest reporting levels seen for this region. It is notable that all four geographies in the NAVEX analysis have seen a general increase in median reports per 100 employees over the last four years. Case Closure Time: While organisations in Europe and APAC received fewer reports, they are taking far longer to investigate and close them with the highest median case closure times (Europe at 69 days, APAC at 56 days). In comparison, North America was at 19 days. This data may be influenced by differences in the types of reports received in each region. However, in all regions, regardless of the time to close a case, the substantiation rate of cases consistently ranged from 45% to 48%. It is important to highlight that nearly half of all reports received globally are substantiated. Time to Report: Organisations based in Europe and APAC saw a higher time difference between incident and report date (the number of days between when the matter occurred or was witnessed and when the report is filed). In Europe, the median time difference between the incident and the report was 13 days, for APAC it was 12. The time difference in North America was 8 days. This is important because reporters who delay reporting may fear retaliation or not know where to make the report. In addition, Europe, APAC, and South America had the highest median rates of anonymous reports (65%, 67%, and 70% respectively), compared to just over half (52%) in North America. Higher levels of anonymous reporting can also be an indication of fear of retaliation making this a metric to watch. Retaliation Cases: With the EU Directive’s focus on whistleblower protection, it is important to note that by headquarters region, Europe-based organisations substantiate retaliation cases at 32%, nearly double the rate of North America which achieved a four-year high of retaliation substantiation of 17% in 2024; APAC had a substantiation rate for retaliation reports of 28% for 2024. Reporting Channels: The NAVEX report looked at reports received via a phone channel (hotline), web-based reporting, and “other” which can be walk-ins to compliance or human resources. In North America, by frequency, the hotline is used for 31% of reports – significantly above Europe (18%) and even more than APAC (11%). Reporting by Ownership Type: Finally, new this year, NAVEX analysed internal reporting data for different structures of company ownership – publicly traded companies, private organisations, government entities and education entities – to show how reporting metrics differ within these groups with notable findings. Privately owned companies are more likely to substantiate reports across the board, with Europe and APAC at 50%, North America at 49%, and South America at 67% substantiated. Conversely, public companies’ substantiation rate was below 50% for all regions – Europe at 45%, APAC at 47%, North America at 42%, and South America at 43%. “Creating trusted channels for internal reporting is one of the most effective ways to prevent small issues from becoming major liabilities,” said Carrie Penman, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer at NAVEX. “Organisations with robust internal and third-party reporting programs have real-time intelligence to understand emerging risk and cultural health within their workforce and supply chains.” For more exclusive insights, join the 2025 Regional Whistleblowing & Incident Management Benchmark Report webinar at 1pm BST on 5 June. Andy Noble, Head of Whistleblowing at NatWest Group, will be joined by NAVEX experts, Carrie Penman, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer, and Jan Stappers, Director of Regulatory Solutions, to host an informative discussion on the results of this year’s analysis. Trusted by over 13,000 organizations, including 70 percent of Fortune 100 and 500 companies, NAVEX is the global leader in risk and compliance solutions. Its NAVEX One platform strengthens risk and compliance programs, empowering organizations with unparalleled industry benchmark data and insights.

Courageous Conservatives PAC to Rep. Pat Curry Ahead of June 6 Hearing: You Can’t Sue Your Way Out of Accountability

Courageous Conservative PAC

The Courageous Conservatives Political Action Committee, dedicated to electing leaders who uphold the values of sovereignty, strength, and principled conservative governance, will argue against a baseless “SLAPP” lawsuit brought by Rep. Pat Curry in court this week. Courageous Conservatives PAC is confident the court will recognize Curry’s attempt to sue critics into silence for what it is: a politically motivated attempt to suppress free speech and silence grassroots conservatives. “This lawsuit isn’t about the law. It’s about power.” said Chris Ekstrom, Chairman of Courageous Conservatives PAC, “Pat Curry is trying to use the courts to muzzle those who dare to hold him accountable and remind him of the promises he made to his constituents. That’s not justice—that’s political retribution.” The Courageous Conservatives PAC has moved to dismiss the suit under the Texas Citizens Participation Act, citing its clear protections of free speech, the right to petition, and freedom of association. The communications in question—texts and Facebook posts—were fully independent and directed solely to the public, urging civic participation on an important issue: the election of the Texas House Speaker. “Our message to Pat Curry’s district and specifically the voters who elected him was straightforward,” Ekstrom added. “’Call Representative Curry and demand he keep his word’. That’s not just legal political messaging; it is how the American Republic was intended to function.” Curry’s lawyers filed a response to the motion last week. “Despite two months to think about it, amazingly, Curry’s lawyers made no attempt to explain why any of their claims have legal merit,” said Jerad Najvar of Chalmers, Adams, Backer & Kaufman LLC. “Our motion explained, point by point, why the PAC’s speech was legal and complied with Texas law. Instead of defending the substance of his frivolous claims, Curry makes the desperate argument that speech on an issue of public concern by a conservative group is somehow ‘commercial speech’ because the PAC paid to distribute it—and therefore not subject to dismissal under the TCPA. Curry’s argument wholly ignores decades of speech law.” “Rep. Curry’s lawsuit is meritless, and frankly, dangerous,” Ekstrom said. “It sets a chilling precedent if public officials can sue private citizens and organizations simply for encouraging civic engagement. We’re not backing down—and neither should any American who believes in the First Amendment.” Courageous Conservatives PAC is also seeking attorney’s fees and sanctions in response to the frivolous and retaliatory suit. “Our commitment to conservative values and political accountability will not be intimidated into silence,” said Ekstrom. “We will continue to defend the rights of the people to speak out and demand integrity from their elected officials—no matter who tries to stop us.” The hearing is scheduled for Friday, June 6, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. The Court is located at 501 Washington Ave., Waco, TX 76701. Interviews with Chris Ekstrom will be available in advance of and following the hearing. About Courageous Conservatives PAC Courageous Conservatives PAC is a grassroots-driven political action committee dedicated to electing principled conservative leaders who will fight for American values, national sovereignty, and an America First agenda. Led by Chairman Chris Ekstrom, the PAC works to ensure that the voices of patriotic Americans are heard — not silenced — locally and nationwide. ### For more information, or to schedule an interview with Chris Ekstrom please contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or dan@danrene.com Contact Details Courageous Conservatives PAC Dan Rene +1 202-329-8359 dan@danrene.com Company Website https://courageouspac.com/
