Chairman's
Corner
Hi everyone, I hope that you all had a great
month, it is hard to believe that we are in the
fourth quarter already. We will have two
speakers this month; Tommy Burns will be updating
us on a new program at the University of Phoenix
and our keynote speaker - NV Child Seekers, who
will be bringing along their human trafficking
liaison.
Since the end of the year is quickly
approaching, it is time to start thinking about
nominees for the board. Ed has been working
diligently on searching out nominees, so please
get with him if you are interested in
running. We are also looking for volunteers
for our committees for next year. We are
looking for chairs for the following committees:
Newsletter Editor Chair
Database and
Distribution Chair
Program
Chairperson
Membership Chair
Law Enforcement
Liaison Chair
Nomination Chair
Education
Committee Chair
Private Security Liaison
Chair
Chapter Conference Chair
Community
Outreach Chair
Certification Liaison
Chair
Legislative Rep
ASIS Foundation
Rep
Placement Chairperson
Two of these committees are in immediate need
of a chairperson, Newsletter Editor Chair and
Database and Distribution Chair. Walt has
decided to step down next year. Walt has
done an outstanding job in these two
positions. National awarded our chapter with
the Chapter Website of the Year Award for 2010 -
Group V., recognizing Walt's efforts. He
will really be missed.
On Sunday, October 23, 2011, there is a
benefit to celebrate the life and passions of Dave
Austin with all of the proceed going to benefit
the NV Cancer Institute. You can find all of
the particulars at AustinRide.org.
I will be bringing surveys to the meeting
this month for everyone to complete so that we can
get a head start at planning next year's
agenda. Please email me if you cannot attend
and would like participate I will email you one to
complete.
I hope to see you all Thursday. Take
care.

K9s and Their Applications in
Transportation Security
October
19
12pm
Eastern Standard Time
90
minutes
About
the program:
All phases of transportation are
featured: from the New York Staten Island Ferry to
the monorail in Las Vegas, from airports to
seaports, from passenger to cargo screening.
This program briefly reviews the
events of 9/11, focusing on the K9 teams'
activities in recovery efforts and mentions the
police K9 killed in the collapse of tower two.
From there it outlines the level of K9 deployment
prior to 9/11 and how drastically it has increased
in military, government, law enforcement, and the
private sector with a focus on the private sector.
It concludes with TSA's latest decision to
outsource cargo inspection to private K9
companies.
Other topics covered include the
following:
- The efficiency and reliability of
K9 teams
- A cost comparison with vapor and
x-ray machines
- How to choose K9 vendors if needed
full time or for special operations
- Unseen K9 teams
- The financial obligations of having
either an in-house or vendor K9 program
- Knowing when and where it's prudent
to deploy these teams
- Distinguishing a professionally
trained team from one that is not
A properly trained K9 team can be
an excellent public relations tool and a very
effective deterrent to criminal activity and
potential terrorists.

Recruit your colleagues
to join ASIS!
Every time you recruit a new member, you
strengthen ASIS. A vital and growing membership means
greater recognition of the security profession, improved
educational and networking opportunities for members,
and the advancement of security worldwide. And,
referring members has added benefits for you and your
chapter!
If they join and put your name and
employer (company) or phone number on the membership
application line: Person who introduced you to
ASIS, you get the credit. And we keep track of your
recruitment activity for you. It's that simple.
Sometimes, it may be more convenient or
more appropriate for you to provide us with the contact
information for an prospective member, and we take the
next step. Complete the online Referral Form and ASIS will
send the individual(s) information and an application.
However, you won't be considered the "recruiter" unless
the new member provides your name on the application as
the person who introduced him/her to
ASIS. |
