Chapter Board Notes
On behalf of ASIS International Greater Kansas City Chapter we were sadden to learn about Officer Mike Mosher passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with Officer Mosher's family at this time.
Police Officer Mike Mosher was shot and killed while attempting to arrest a hit-and-run suspect. Officer Mosher was off duty, but in his uniform while en route to work, when he witnessed the hit-and-run at West 143rd Street and Antioch Road. He called dispatchers as he followed the vehicle until it stopped near the intersection of West 123rd Street and Mackey Street. The driver confronted Officer Mosher with a firearm, leading to a shootout. Officer Mosher and the subject were both killed in the shooting. Officer Mosher had served with the Overland Park Police Department for 14-1/2 years. He is survived by his wife and child.
To attend Officer Mike Mosher's Memorial Services find the dates and times located here.
Those who would like to make a donation in memory of Officer Mosher can do so on the Overland Park Police Officers Foundation website.
You can donate to Overland Park Police Officer's Foundation support for Police Officer Mike Mosher's Family.
You also can buy a shirt and 100% of the net profits will be donated in memory of Officer Michael Mosher to benefit Officer Mosher’s family.

This facility is considered a cash cow to AT&T producing income for the company in the range of $10 to $15 million an hour.

HAPPY NEW YEAR KC ASIS!
On behalf of the new board, I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I’m hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Holiday Season. Now that we are getting back to the grind, the board and I are excited to serve the chapter in 2020. I would like to personally thank the outgoing board, especially Theresa Bentch, for their service to the chapter and guidance during the board transition. We are excited to implement new initiatives, continue existing ones, and bring back some old ones. Of course, we cannot do it all by ourselves, we are going to need volunteers to assist with the multiple chapter committees.
Our next Luncheon, ASIS and YOU!, we are going to explore the different ways that ASIS benefits the security professional, and how chapter members can volunteer their time and talents to the local chapter and ASIS International. This is a very important meeting to start the new year off right. I would like encourage all chapter members to attend. To ensure full participation, the chapter member price will only be $15, instead of the normal $25.
PLEASE BE THERE!
Richard Dunn, CPP
KC ASIS Chapter Chairman
