Introduction. Explain why we are here…to discuss what Shield is but more importantly…the National Shield Network.
We are aware that your departments may in fact already deploy certain platforms of our program….but please keep an open mind and as we proceed think about how a Shield Program could work in your respective jurisdictions.
And if there are questions during the presentation please don’t wait to ask. Our hopes are that this could be more of a discussion.
