Homeland Security Notes
02/26/09
Hello to everyone. After several months of getting acclimated to the position of Homeland
Security Coordinator I’m finally able to stop for a moment and jot down a few words. I just want
everyone to know that I am on the job and working to make sure that Maryland Law Enforcement
is getting the Homeland Security training that it needs for the safety of the citizens of Maryland. If
you need any information about Homeland Security issues or training please contact me.

many of us are the following:

- Completion of ICS 400 is now a FY09 requirement.
- There will be a “minor” delay for the release of FY08 NIMS compliance materials.
