The Dispatch (July – September 2015 Edition)

THE DISPATCH

Quarterly Newsletter
July-Sept 2015

Welcome to the first edition of the Sheriff’s Foundation Newsletter – The Dispatch! Since 1999, the Sheriff’s Foundation has been serving Broward County in the areas of Anti-Terrorism, BSO Training, and Crime Prevention. The Sheriff’s Foundation exists to create channels of education, understanding and cooperation between the Broward Sheriff’s Office and the citizens of Broward County.

Today, we start a new era of service introducing new Civic Education initiatives designed to bring our citizens and BSO closer together. With the creation of the Sheriff’s Foundation Academy and the Sheriff’s Foundation Classroom, we strive to educate our citizens about the training and challenges faced by law enforcement and fire rescue personnel. Also new this year – annual corporate sponsorships, family memberships, and individual memberships. This grassroots support will enable us to continue building a bridge between BSO and those it serves.
You and the Sheriff’s Foundation – Stronger Together!

Chairman,

SWAT Anti-Terrorism Training Exercise

Foundation Sponsors and Annual Members are cordially invited to attend the first combined educational event of the Sheriff’s Foundation Academy and the Sheriff’s Foundation Classroom – a BSO/SWAT full-scale anti-terrorism training scenario. If interested, you can even participate in the scenario script as a hostage or hostage taker! The scenario is still in the developmental stages, but we do know that it is a terrorist based incident that will involve a business/governmental meeting takeover by a domestic or foreign terrorist cell. It will start with a law enforcement patrol response and develop into a SWAT/Hostage Barricade situation. This event is limited to 40 persons and spaces will be filled on a first-come-first-served basis. RSVP TODAY! Read More
