Mahalo to Deputy Chief John McCarthy who addressed our members at our March meeting. John discussed the ongoing threat of cyber crime and how it impacts us in both our personal and business lives. John is a strong supporter of ASIS and our chapter.
At 8:07am, January 13th, Hawaii State Warning Point issued a Missile Alert in ERROR. There was NO THREAT to the State of Hawaii.
Several chapter members attended a Active Shooter workshop sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security at Blaisdell Center on Monday, June 26, 2017. This extremely informative workshop was brought to Honolulu by our local DHS Protective Security Advisor James Cruz. The all day workshop provided several modules on developing, planning and implementing an Active Shooter program for your company or agency. Additional information can be obtained by visiting the DHS website at http://dhs.gov and entering Active Shooter Workshop into the search box.
James is also available to answers questions and provide assistance to companies regarding DHS products and services that may be available to your organization. James is a great resource and I urge all members to utilize his skills.
