Special Message from the Conference Director
As conference director I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your past support of our Secured Cities event. It has been our privilege to interact with each of you. Whether it be unified threat management or grants and financing, governance or technology solutions, the issues facing all of you have taken on a more broad-based concern. As key stakeholders in this growing environment of public-private partnerships you are driven by many forces like current events and budget restraints. Ultimately the responsibility for protecting your city, your school, your hospital or transit authority rests with you. To that end, I would like to personally invite you to join us November 14 and 15, 2013 for our 5th Secured Cities event to be held this year in Baltimore. Steve Lasky Conference Director, Secured Cities
Our Goal
The goal for the modern city is to create a unified response plan to major emergency situations. Cities need to have all key stakeholders (police, fire/EMS, city government, Homeland Security, transit, utilities) at the same table if they want to provide an effective security or safety response to any situation affecting their citizens. Increasingly, cities are inclined to make federated security technology, equipment and training investments, such that resources can be shared across agencies and departments.
