Summit Background and Purpose Sample Clauses

Summit Background and Purpose. Preparing for terrorism and public disorder has taxed the nation’s law enforcement agencies. They have held tabletop emergency response exercises, coordinated emer- gency radio communication with fire and emergency medical services, developed multi- jurisdictional incident command centers, and increased staffing and overtime in re- sponse to elevated terror alerts. Responding to actual terror events would tax law en- forcement agencies even further. This workload sits atop law enforcement’s already enormous task of crime prevention and response. Private security operations have also been busy planning their responses to such events. These private sector organizations have staged evacuation drills, secured their computer networks, and increased protection around critical infrastructure assets.

The IACP/COPS National Policy Summit set its sights directly on producing specific policy recommendations and assigning responsibility for their exe- cution. The clear mood of the more than 140 participants was to take intelligent, con- crete steps, based on existing knowledge and on sound research yet to be performed, to enable law enforcement and private security to aid each other in preventing and re- sponding to terrorism and public disorder. The summit has already led to some positive outcomes: • The Philadelphia Police Foundation has decided to adopt public–private coopera- tion—an aspect of this report’s Recommendation V—as its central project. • The Regional Community Policing Institutes (RCPIs), funded by the COPS Of- fice, are expanding their training outreach to private security practitioners.
