HSIN Helps Law
Enforcement Information Sharing Event Reach More Participants
More than
200 Federal, State, Tribal, Local and International law enforcement officials
joined DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano as she gave the keynote address for the
fifth annual Law Enforcement Information Sharing (LEIS) Roundtable, held Aug
20-21 in Arlington, VA. “Knowing we had the flexibility to involve more people
through HSIN Connect than we could house in the physical room was a huge value
to us,” explained LEIS Initiative (LEISI) Program Manager Claudette
Fogg-Castillo. “Using HSIN Connect, we were able to hold a secure event that
included a large number of participants in the DC area and across the nation. Most
of the people who were on HSIN Connect for LEIS had not yet used HSIN. They
were able to log on, after we validated them, and immediately join into the
conversation with real-time comments and questions. I will definitely use HSIN
Connect again for a big event.” The theme for this year’s LEIS Roundtable was,
“Law Enforcement in the Digital Data Age: How Innovative Technologies are
Shaping the Evolution of Information Sharing.”
