State of America's Homeland Security Address

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano provided a recap of where we are today with HLS.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano provided a State of America's Homeland Security Address at George Washington University on January 27, 2011.

 

This is the speech that put the color-coded warning system in its grave and rolled out the concept of the National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS).  There is the other obligatory references to every division and section of the department and everything they have done and are doing to make America safer.

 

One item I'd like to highlight is her pitch to recruit people to come work for the department.  It is true that while state and local jurisdictions are laying people off, the Federal government has been on a hiring binge throughout the USA.  Just be willing to relocate!
