Chertoff Plans DHS Alerts Pilot
Oct 5, 2005, News Report
"At the request of many here at IACP [International Association of Chiefs of Police], we have agreed to provide, through a pilot program, real-time incident information that we receive through our Homeland Security Operations Center.
These "DHS Alerts" will be made available immediately via email or pagers to agency law enforcement heads, and other public safety leaders, in the pilot areas. Through this effort, key state and local officials will get real-time alerts just as we do. Of course, this will not supplant our more in depth information sharing.
In addition, we will explore with FBI how we might jointly work to disseminate more quickly incident awareness information with our state and local law enforcement colleagues. This should build on the work we are already doing with FBI to issue joint information bulletins."
