Mike Roche began his law enforcement career in 1979 with the Little Rock Police Department. During his ten-years of service, he spent time assigned to patrol, street crimes and as a financial crimes detective. In 1985, Mike Roche received his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

In 1989, Mike began his federal law enforcement career with the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms. In 1990, Mike transferred to the U.S. Secret Service. His assignments included New Orleans, Miami, the Protective Intelligence Division and the Tampa Field Office. From 1999 until 2001, Mike Roche was the intelligence liaison to the FBI and CIA headquarters. He was responsible for maintaining continuity of communication between the three agencies regarding counter-terrorism and threat related issues that could have an adverse impact on the protective missions of the Secret Service. He also conducted numerous protective intelligence advances for the President and Vice President during domestic and foreign trips.

Upon his arrival in Tampa in 2001, Mike Roche became the protective intelligence coordinator over all threat related investigations in the Tampa Field Office. He was also the primary liaison with the FBI, the JTTF, the Tampa Bay Area Intelligence Unit and the Regional Domestic Security Task Force.

Mike Roche has interviewed and managed numerous subjects that threatened to engage in targeted violence. He has been a frequent lecturer for law enforcement agencies, schools and private companies in sharing his knowledge of threat assessments and lone shooters. In 2009, Mike Roche was an adjunct instructor at St. Leo University teaching Risk, Threat, and Vulnerability Assessments.

In 2012, Mike Roche retired from the U.S. Secret Service after serving twenty-two years. In addition to three works of fiction, Mike Roche has also authored a non-fiction book titled Face2Face, which is a guide to enhancing observation, interviewing and rapport building skills.
