Giovanni Rocco

Giovanni Rocco was the FBI undercover at the epicenter of several federal undercover operations. His most recent assignment in Operation Charlie Horse ultimately brought down several high-ranking
members and associates of the infamous NJ DeCavalcante Mafia family, the criminal organization known as “The Real Sopranos”.
Giovanni’s successes have been covered in dozens of newspapers, television and social media channels
throughout the world and is now told in his critically acclaimed book “Giovanni’s Ring: My Life Inside TheReal Sopranos”.
Giovanni’s Ring is not just simply a chronicle of Giovanni’s heart stopping adventures in the murky and dangerous criminal underworld he inhabited, but also a fascinating window into the psychological and
physiological struggles that such a life inevitably entails.
The culmination of Operation Charlie Horse and many other operations resulted in successful criminal
prosecutions, but ultimately resulted in Giovanni’s sudden and unplanned retirement from law
enforcement as well as the government having to relocate him and his family to an undisclosed location
for fears of criminal retaliation.
Having received extensive training in these agencies as well as through his participation as a member of
the elite FBI National Covert Operations Unit, Giovanni’s survival depended on his ability to access the resiliency skills and focused thinking he now brings to his workshops, training modules, and mental and behavioral health programs he helps design.
Giovanni continues to share his experiences and provide training to law enforcement agencies, as well as military and intelligence branches within the United States and internationally.
Giovanni has appeared many times as a keynote speaker/presenter at annual mental health
summits/conferences, The International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference (IACP), National
Association of Police (NAPO) as well as State Chiefs of Police Conferences, Narcotics Enforcement Officers Associations, and multiple federal agency Management/Leadership conferences throughout the US and internationally.
