It’s 2016 National Night Out peeps!
My current view for tonight:

Get out there and support your local public safety professional.

Definitely a solid way to engage and meet those who care deeply in your community.
July was a success – phew! Now on to August.
First and second week, I’ll be in the left coast – Region-9 baby!
Third week will be in Columbus, Ohio (CBus!) for a few Emergency Management classes. A little love for the home state.
Fourth week I’ll head down to Oklahoma to teach with their state health department on some social media in Region-6 baby!
Fifth week, I’ll get a chance to present at the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Conference.

It’s a 9-5-6 squared kinda month.
Just trying to keep up with the pros…

Emojis? Na, those are so 2015.

Now you need to know about/use some stickers.
😳🔫
Yep, not only for pictures, but think of them as the new hashtag.
I got a police escort into Ferguson, Missouri today.

For those of you that remember, during the civil unrest, I pushed some info on Ferguson in December 2014. Check it out here.

And yes, the GPS coordinates still match up to S. Florissant Rd with the metadata previously found.

Additionally, GPS and USNG match up too.
In retrospect, Florissant is a large street and a relatively large open area.

Hope all stays peaceful here.
Busy morning in the Emergency Operations Center.

Many of the participants in today’s class will be activated for the upcoming events in St. Louis County and of course the final debates before the election in November 2016.
Glad to see so many partner agencies from across the State of Missouri participating in today’s all-hazards training.

Reporting live from St. Louis County…
Good to see that Arch again.

St. Louis…who is hosting the very last 2016 Presidential Debate between the candidates before the November election.
Hello Missouri!
It’s #AlohaFriday
Joint Information Center (JIC) and Emergency Operations Center (EOC) deactivated.
Most resources and out-of-state teams have been demobed too.
And yes, Cleveland Public Square is beautiful!

Best part? I worked hard, but I had a solid NSSE thanks to the thousands of public safety pros from USSS, FBI, City of Cleveland and all the supporting agencies Whether at the EOC or JIC or ICP…or whatever agency – seriously proud of everyone’s hard work and diligence.
Last photo op for lots of all-hazards public safety pros.
