The USSS has been pretty busy…

I see my friends at the USSS have been pretty busy in NYC thwarting a cyber threat.

Folks-just remember, if you see something, say something.

With all the activities of the UN in NYC, this kind of disruptions would have easily caused some serious issues. Not only politics, but the safety of millions could have been affected.

My neighbor Robin always says that it takes a village. And in this case, if it looks odd, I would encourage you to err on the side of caution.

Your 2024 Democratic National Convention Joint Information Center team!

I am honored to lead this Joint Information Center (JIC) with the US Secret Service.

I am incredibly thankful for everyone who participated with us from local, county, state, and Federal partners. Welcome to Illinois and the City of Chicago!

2024 Democratic National Convention Joint Information Center

Lots of dangers with these types of National Special Security Events (NSSEs), but through a well coordinated system with highly trained individuals,

Trust me, it took many months of introductions, planning, networking, scheduling, coordinating, and of course collaborating with our most trusted partners from across the country.

I’ve said it before, but it takes a certain skillset to be the agency’s PIO. No day is ever alike.

And no incident or event will ever be the same. Nothing is ever the same.

Proud of the work that was done this week to keep everyone safe.

The BEAST in Chicago

Some days, I get to see cool things….

Because of the work we will be doing with the US Secret Service, got to be up close and personal with the Beast.

This is the US Presidential limo that takes POTUS around.

As you can probably tell, it’s a bit more fortified than other limos….and protected from stuff.

Additionally, they brought a few support vehicles too. All the prep for the upcoming National Special Security Event (NSSE) with the 2024 Democratic National Convention here in Chicago.

Proud to work close with the US Secret Service in these upcoming events.

Slightly different Sunday view for me.

Great discussion with USSS today.

Great to see many local, state, and Federal partner agencies involved in safety/security for everyone in September – National Preparedness Month.

As you know, preparedness is everyone’s responsibility.
