A Conference for Ventura County Public Safety Volunteers on Terrorism: Recognizing and Reporting
By Ventura County Sheriff Department — Monday, January 24th, 2011
 Ventura County Sheriff's Department Recognizing the important role community members and public safety volunteers play in the fight against crime and terrorism, members of the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department Intelligence Unit, Oxnard Police Department, Simi Valley Police Department, Ventura Police Department, and the Los Angeles Joint Regional Intelligence Center developed a first of its kind terrorism training day for Ventura County volunteers. The goal of the conference—educate public safety volunteers countywide about crime and terrorism. Over the course of the day the more than 800 attendees learned about: the role of Fusion Centers; the intelligence process; domestic and international terrorism; pre-incident indicators related to terrorist activity; what to report and how to report it; and they had an opportunity to meet their area Terrorism Liaison Officer (TLO). This unique event was funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through the Oxnard - Thousand Oaks Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant program. Volunteers from public safety disciplines, military, non-governmental organizations, and other organizations throughout Ventura County attended this eight-hour Conference on Terrorism. Location: Oxnard Performing Arts and Convention Center (800 Hobson Way, Oxnard, CA) |
