Who We Are
Primarily a volunteer organization, Camp Resilience employs three full time and one part time staff members.
Our dedicated Board of Directors of Veterans and local professionals oversee all operations and programming.
Jeff Ladieu
Executive Director
Jeff is a seasoned leader with over 25 years of experience in law enforcement, organizational leadership, and public safety. A retired Captain from the New Hampshire State Police, he most recently served as Commander of the Justice Information Bureau, overseeing critical units including Communications, Criminal Records, NCIC, and the Sexual Offender Registry.
Throughout his career, Jeff held diverse roles—from SWAT Team and Cold Case Commander to leading the Polygraph and Communications Units. He began his law enforcement journey in Troop F after serving in a direct-action Ranger unit under US Army Special Operations Command.
Post-retirement, Jeff co-founded a public safety consulting firm and later served as Assistant Director of Public Safety and Police at Endicott College. He now brings his expertise and heart to Camp Resilience, supporting veterans and first responders in healing and growth.
Jeff holds a B.S. in Social Sciences and is completing his M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. He is a Certified Public Manager, LEAN Black Belt, and graduate of the NCTC Polygraph Institute.
He and his wife Kim live in New Hampshire’s Lakes Region and are proud parents of two sons. Jeff enjoys triathlon training, family time, and helping others find strength through adversity.
