September's
Speaker, Bo Mitchell, CPP
Topoff
3 Overview
If
you didn't attend the September meeting, you missed what could be
the most important presentation of the past year.
Chapter
member Bo Mitchell was involved in the planning operations and analysis
of what happened during the simulated WMD attack exercise held
last spring. In a word or three, Bo summed up a fundamental
concept that all security departments in our chapter area must
understand:
"You're
on your own!" If
and when there is an event like was depicted in TopOff or an event
like the recent hurricanes in the Gulf, local first responder, law
enforcement, and other public safety resources will be spread so thin
they won't be able to give you or your corporation any assistance to
any degree. In
fact, Public Safety's assumptions of the private sector security and
safety capabilities are almost diametrically opposed to what they
really are. And the private sector's suppositions about the
capabilities of the public sector also don't reflect the real
status. People
in charge of security for facilities of all sizes better have plans of
action of all sorts of different scenarios. Presentations
like Bo's are one of the reasons all chapter members should try attend
our monthly meetings.
