    Word From the Chairman

    Greetings fellow chapter members,

    Another month down and the year is flying by. We hope that all our members are finishing the summer off with some fun family activities. Thank you to all who continue to support the chapter and attend our monthly meetings. This past month, we made some significant and exciting changes in the chapter leadership; you can read about in the below section. Next month, September, is GSX! We encourage all members to participate, either virtually or in person. For those who are attending in person, we will try to get together for group photo, so stay tuned.

    As the year is moving along, the board is thinking about 2024. If you have some ideas or suggestions on how the chapter could be better and more valuable to its members, we want to hear from you! Also, if you have that feeling in your gut that you could volunteer on the board or on a committee, please let us know! Contact us at info@kcasis.org. Until next time!

    Stay safe,

    Jared Oakden, CPP, PSP

    Word From the Chairman

    Hello, ASIS Greater Kansas City Chapter Members,

    I hope that this newsletter finds you all well and healthy. We had a great month in April with a very well attended chapter meeting (over 50 registrants!) hosted at the Overland Park, KS PD Myron Scafe Station. Our guest speaker was Christopher Staley, an attorney from Sanders Warren & Russell, who taught us on premises liability. Our more recent event on May 4th (may the fourth be with you) was held at Shamrock Towers with a presentation by Titan Protection on the technology and benefits of remote monitoring services. Many thanks to Titan Protection for sponsoring our May event.

    Now, I have an urgent request: I invite you all to register for our June event, the chapter’s annual Physical Security Technology Showcase and Awards Ceremony. Details can be found below and also at this link. We switched up the venue this year and will be at the DoubleTree in Overland Park, KS. We are also bringing in an amazing keynote speaker, Clint Emerson. After you register, please invite another colleague to register as well. We want to make this showcase a success for all of you and for our vendor sponsors. Slowly, our aim is to grow this event into the premier security event for the Midwest. We need you there!

    That’s all I have. We hope that this newsletter is beneficial to you. If you have specific feedback, please let us know at info@kcasis.org.

    The Kansas City Chapter wants to extend a big thank you to Dr. Christopher Walker from Texas Christian University for meeting with several law enforcement officers aspiring to retire and transition into the private security profession. Dr. Walker delivered the keynote address at the chapter's annual Physical Security Showcase event and elected to stay an additional night to sit down with officers from around the Kansas City metro. The event was coordinated by Terry Owens, and accompanied by Michael Betten, CPP (KC LE Liaison) and John J. Riotte.

    Law Enforcement Agencies represented included North Kansas City, Overland Park, Kansas City MO and the United States Army. The evening provided a wealth of information for the participants, a chance to network and thoroughly enjoy everyone's stories. Dr. Walker's insight and experience offered a wealth of information to those in attendance. We encourage all chapters to do the same as the experience was one to remember.

    ASIS Kansas City Chapter Meeting – Security Convergence
    June 03, 2021 11:30 AM Zoom Conference


    Today’s threats are a result of hybrid attacks targeting both physical and cyber assets. The adoption and integration of devices have led to an increasingly interconnected mesh of cyber-physical systems (CPS), which expands the attack surface and blurs the once clear functions of cybersecurity and physical security.

    Speaker: Shawn Geib, Director of Security for Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies (FM&T)

    WORD FROM THE CHAIRMAN

    As we enter our 61st year, I hope that our members, colleagues, families, and friends continue to stay healthy and safe.  2020 has been a challenging year, but the Board is excited to start our next chapter.  This year we are going to continue to bring value to our chapter by inviting interesting and informative speaker, but look forward to conduct in-person events.  We hope to have our first in-person event in August, dependent on City, State and CDC guidelines.

    We are looking for volunteers to join our chapter committees. This is a great way to participate and support the chapter.  Each committee can have more than one person on the team, in fact, it is encouraged.  From my experience with the ASIS KC Chapter, the more that I'm involved, the more I receive in return. If you are interested in a position click HERE

    I look forward to seeing you all soon at the next board meeting.

    Best Regards,

    Rick Dunn, CPP
    KC ASIS Chapter Chair
