EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S
CORNER
The
events of September 11th tested the ability of public service
agencies to deliver emergency services under the most horrific conditions.
Law enforcement, fire, and other public safety personnel agree that there
is often considerable confusion in the operational performance at major
incidents. The ability to manage
the situation effectively often seems to decrease in direct proportion to the
number of agencies involved.

Over
one thousand participants from public safety agencies throughout the United
States and Canada attended CALEA’s first Conference of 2002, making it one of
the largest events ever sponsored by the Commission!
The site of the conference was the beautiful port city of Jacksonville
(FL).
