Lacey, as the crisis manager and training coordinator for the FBI\u2019s Buffalo division, is responsible for ensuring that the FBI is always ready to respond to crisis situations in the Buffalo division\u2019s 17-county territory. The Williamsville native graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point.<\/p>\n<p>Lacey said that, as he drove to Niagara, he was filled with a sense of optimism for the future. He would go on to use the term \u201cpromise\u201d to describe what he saw in the 14 men and women seated to his right.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday is a day for optimism because you are well prepared for whatever challenges lie ahead,\u201d Lacey said. \u201cHold on to that knowledge, but with humility. It is a day for optimism, because what you have chosen to do \u2013 help others \u2013 is intrinsically good. Do it with compassion and courage. I know you will.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following Lacey\u2019s remarks, NCLEA co-directors Lt.
