Learn about the R&D process from current examples, get the chance to provide your own input, and see an outline of a general asset protection program.

Jessica Lunsford Act: Leveraging Public Databases to Protect Students

FUNDAMENTAL

The Jessica Lunsford Act helps prevent sexual offenders from having access to Florida public school district campuses. The Broward County Public Schools' Security Tracking and Response System in particular uses public databases to identify anyone entering school facilities. Because it is at the forefront of this issue, the school district and its solution may serve as a model for schools in Florida and throughout the country. The Act has gained awareness and support nationwide.

New Security Management System Standards: How to Make Them Work for You

INTERMEDIATE

Management system standards are increasingly gaining attention, both nationally and globally, as tools to manage risks and impacts of intentional and unintentional incidents such as natural disasters, terror, extreme crime, and technology mishaps. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committee on Societal Security (ISO/TC 223) has recently produced a publicly available specification: Societal Security - Guidelines for Incident Preparedness and Operational Continuity Management. Standards will have a profound impact on the security profession. This session will introduce the concepts of management systems standards and provide insights into how security professionals and organizations can successfully add this tool to the services they provide to enhance preparedness and resilience.
