Frazer Lonie
Manager, Program Support, New York State Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Services; Domestic Terrorism Prevention Unit
2024
Frazer Lonie currently serves as the Manager of Program Support within the New York State Division of Homeland Security’s (DHSES) newly created Domestic Terrorism Prevention Unit (DTPU). DTPU was created by Governor Kathy Hochul through Executive Order 18 in the aftermath of the heinous mass shooting at a Buffalo Tops Friendly Market in May 2022. In his role with the new unit, Frazer oversees state efforts supporting the development of Threat Assessment and Management (TAM) Team infrastructure throughout New York. Over 40 new TAM Teams have been created across New York State in the two years following the Buffalo shooting with a goal of preventing acts of targeted violence through a multi-disciplinary approach.
Prior to joining DTPU, Frazer served as an analyst with DHSES’ Policy & Program Development Unit, playing a central role in the management and delivery of high profile and complex initiatives, including the development of New York State’s first Targeted Violence Prevention Strategy.
Frazer holds a Master of International Affairs from the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs & Policy at the University of Albany and recently received the ’10 Under 10 Award’ for alumni who have made notable contributions to their industry within 10 years of graduating.
My network of professionals working on countering hate in all its forms grew exponentially after attending Eradicate Hate in 2021. The myriad voices represented at Eradicate Hate, from big tech companies to academic researchers to those with lived experience, reinforced to me the importance of cross-cutting and collaborative approaches to counter hate and its devastating impacts on society. I’ve been fortunate to sustain and build those networks with many of those I met at Eradicate Hate in 2021.
