弗兰克·霍恩尔（Frank Hahnel）-UmCoraçãoPara服务器

2001年9月11日。2009年11月6日。2016年6月16日。

These dates live in infamy in the history of the United States of America. Two terrorist attacks and one workplace shooting. More than 3,000 dead, thousands more injured. Lives were forever changed.

All three incidents were captured with laser scanning technology provided by Frank J. Hahnel, III, Leica Geosystems North America Public Safety account manager.

当需要帮助时那里

Working in a company whose brand identity is robust red, a blue stripe stands out. Standing at around 6 feet 5 inches tall (1.8 m) at 300 pounds (136 kilos), Hahnel projects an impressive presence when he enters a room. What you notice instantly, though, is a bright blue stripe on the left sleeve of his Polo shirt.

“I wear this with pride. My heart is closer than ever before with the men and women who wear blue,” states Hahnel.

The American flag with blue stripe has become the symbol for the movement in the United States to show support for police nationwide.

“A lot of great people work in these departments, and they make a sacrifice every time they go to work,” said Hahnel. “Neither they nor their families know if they’ll be walking back through that door each evening.”

Before finding his place within the public safety community, though, Hahnel travelled a non-traditional path.

A Florida, USA, native, Hahnel started his career in the field – literally. As a bright-eyed18-year-old surveyor technician, Hahnel took every opportunity to be out in the field, gathering knowledge and experience. He conducted land and as-built surveys before moving on to work shortly in survey software technical support and development.

Hahnel始终对新技术感兴趣，接下来是Cyra Technologies，Inc。在2000年被Leica Geosystems收购的2000年，成为高清测量（HDS）业务部门。在过渡下，Hahnel成为一名应用工程师，开发和测试激光扫描技术，当时可以在40度乘40度窗口中每秒捕获900点，这是前所未有的。

Shortly after the transition, Hahnel’s skills came to the notice of Chuck Coiner, Leica Geosystems Public Safety Group manager, who saw a good fit for Hahnel’s drive and passion in sales.

Coiner说：“弗兰克是销售方面的完整包装。”“他可以完成所有现场工作，在我们使用的任何软件包中处理数据，并为他的客户提供工作流程。”

当上发生最严重的恐怖袭击.S. soil took place Sept. 11, 2001, Hahnel, whose father was born in the City and mother born in Newburgh, New York, made his way to Ground Zero with a laser scanner. He was there to support the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in volume calculations of all the above ground debris from the towers. Shortly after, he would travel to Washington, D.C., to capture the destruction of the Pentagon for the FBI, and digitally preserve the U.S. Capitol for the architect, before returning to New York to perform volume calculations again of the Twin Towers’ wreckage on Staten Island’s Fresh Kills Landfill.

As the son of U.S. Marine in the Vietnam War and a 40-year career nurse, surrounded by uncles and cousins of firefighters, police officers and military service members, Hahnel says public service is in his blood.

“I’m there when help is needed,” said Hahnel. “It doesn’t matter when or where, I’ll be there when public safety professionals need me.”

Though a horrifying and emotionally draining experience, Hahnel says he was glad to be of service. Despite the trauma, Hahnel knew he had found his calling.

Finding a calling to serve

While Hahnel continued to outperform sales goal each year, he, like most Americans, became victim to the U.S. economic crash of 2008. While seeing sales fall and dealing with personal struggles at home, Hahnel recalled his sense of purpose working at Ground Zero.

“I don’t see myself as just a ‘sales guy,’” said Hahnel. “I’m there to consult and really work with clients, and I was able to do that most effectively and with most sense of purpose when I was working on the 9/11 scenes.”

在与Coiner讨论了这个想法之后，Hahnel开始了一项积极的战略来发展公共安全部门。

Hahnel说：“我开始进行事故调查，因为我们知道这种激光扫描技术可能会给官员带来无数的好处。”“从保存证据到更快清除现场，激光扫描在公共安全中具有真正的位置。”

Public safety was a market that not only needed a disruptive workflow change, but also technical education. Coiner knew Hahnel could teach these customers to make sure they embraced the technology and could be successful in its deployment.

“Public safety really embodies ‘when it has to be right.’ This is really what Frank lives by,” said Coiner. “His passion for helping people with the Leica Geosystems solutions combined with the experience in starting a new market, Frank made a perfect fit for starting up the public safety focus.”

哈内尔（Hahnel城市郊区。杀死一个人，杀死另外五个，现场，整个办公楼的八楼，必须迅速捕获以保留法院的证据。

Hahnel was called to the scene byKaren Livengood, Orland Police Department Crime Scene Unit (OPD CSU) investigator, to document and process the data. For the first time, aLeica扫描C10被用于犯罪现场，Hahnel在法庭上证明了扫描数据的准确性。

“This was a life-changing event for me,” said Hahnel. “This struck my community, and I was able to be there to support my hometown police while proving the value in the technology I’ve been involved with almost my entire career.”

Hahnel was授予OPD的好公民奖for his actions that day.

“Frank put in a lot of time, personal time, to support us. He’s always willing to drop everything to help us, help law enforcement in general,” said Livengood. “He deserved to be recognised for his efforts. He’s a hard worker, and you just don’t find many people like him anymore.”

Unfortunately, Hahnel would once again be called to support his hometown in a time of crisis.

自2001年9月11日以来，2016年6月12日在2016年6月12日举行的脉搏夜总会枪击事件，造成49人死亡并受伤50多人。恐怖组织在清晨进行了三个小时的人质僵局后被当局杀害。

当时两个小时的假期在周日早上被唤醒，并要求援助。Livengood再次与Hahnel伸出援手，以支持大型场景的激光扫描文档。在回到他摇晃的家乡的车程上，哈内尔试图为自己要走的东西做好准备。

“现场是一堆死亡。当您有这样的活动时，就没有准备自己。” Hahnel说。“我必须尽可能准备自己，因为有工作要做。”

Taking twoLeica ScanSation P40s, Hahnel captured scenes outside the club with Livengood while the rest of the OPD Crime Scene Unit used its own personal Leica ScanStation C10 inside. Combined, they were able to document the entire crime scene in less than a day.

“Crime scenes present many obstacles for documentation, from several agencies, like the FBI [Federal Bureau of Investigation] and ATF] Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives], on site to irregular debris strewed everywhere,” said Hahnel. “Our technology brings a peace of mind for law enforcement, though, they will be able to capture every detail and not leave anything behind.”

Almost a year after the horrific attack, Hahnel wouldagain be recognised by the OPD为了迅速的行动并支持那个臭名昭著的一天。

“From the first day I met Frank when I began researching using laser scanning on crime scenes, he’s been there to support me and the Department. Whether it was answering questions or showing us how to use the scanners, Frank never lets us down,” said Livengood. “He’s become a good friend, not only to me but to all law enforcement. He’s always willing to help, and we know we can trust him.”

Receiving help when needed

After documenting these three major incidents, plus supporting other events involving destruction and death, anyone would be affected by the trauma. Hahnel began showing signs of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after his time at Ground Zero.

“I love my job, and I love Leica Geosystems for giving me the opportunity to support the people who are day in and day out seeing things that no normal human should ever have to see,” said Hahnel. “I have been shaped, though, by my work. I’m not the same person I was before.”

Though he lived with the symptoms of PTSD, such as panic attacks and anxiety, for years, Hahnel began a journey to recover starting in 2008. Between 2010- 2013, three events took place that would alter Hahnel even further and his perception of mental health.

First, in August 2010, he was blessed with the birth of his first and only child, Addisyn. Like most proud fathers, he says his daughter is the best part of his life. Where he once defined success by titles and roles, “making sure my daughter is an awesome adult” is now his new standard.

Second, in 2011 Hahnel was asked by Point of Beginning to write a three-part series about his experience laser scanning Ground Zero, the Pentagon and the Capitol in honour of the 10 year anniversary:

• Part 1: Remembering 9/11
• Part 2: Scanning D.C. Post-9/11
• Part 3: Coming Full Circle

Hahnel contributes his ongoing healing process to this series, saying it allowed him to express emotions he hadn’t since the attack.

最终，哈内尔（Hahnel）于2010年遇到了他未来的妻子凯拉·斯塔尔·贝克·威廉姆斯（Khira Starr Beck Williams）。威廉姆斯（Williams）是一位生命和猫的爱好者，他鼓励哈赫内尔（Hahnel）继续治愈他的PTSD疤痕。贝克被诊断出患有癌症后，这对夫妇于2014年结婚。

“她是我的灵感。摘要通过化疗h it all, she had a smile on her face the whole time,” said Hahnel. “If she could smile through all that, I knew I could find the help I needed and keep going.”

Khira Starr Beck Hahnel lost her battle with cancer Dec. 19, 2016 at 6:15 p.m. With her husband, former husband, children, stepdaughter, parents, family members and friends by her side, she said goodbye.

如今，Hahnel鼓励公共安全专业人员和其他处于高压力职位的人谈论心理健康的挑战。他努力消除在这些情况下迫切需要时寻求和接收帮助的污名。

哈内尔说：“谈论我自己的挣扎，寻求帮助Khira鼓励我找到 - 这使我变得更好。”“作为一项职业，我们应该鼓励更多的执法部门和其他公共安全成员不要害怕，在他们需要时会有帮助；即使他们觉得自己不需要。”

Continuing to serve

Hahnel在与公共安全专业人员的日常工作中继续体现地理系统价值观，特别是专业精神，参与和客户的关注。他对业务的致力于服务，他的客户和团队很明显。

“Along with being a technical competent and professional sales person, Frank is also a very caring and passionate human being,” said Coiner. “He is always the first to step forward for others, and he’s never afraid to help someone.”

希望Hahnel将无需标记另一个臭名昭著的日期。不过，如果打电话给他，他将准备好使用激光扫描技术为公共安全专业人员提供服务。
