Chapter Board Notes
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.

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.

60th Anniversary 1960 - 2020
I hope that our members, colleagues, families, and friends continue to stay healthy and safe. It feels that we are now in a new normal, things are opening up but with new protocols. GSX+ took place completely online, schools have opened in-person, virtually and hybrid, and businesses are learning how to operate in this new environment. Even our beloved Royals and Chiefs have taken the field, with minimum fans in the seats.
This month we had the opportunity to honor and present the Clarence M. Kelley Award to Chief Thomas Hongslo, Lenexa, KS Police Department. Bill Carroll, Chapter Vice-Chair presented the award with Kansas City Crime Commission President, Rick Armstrong. The presentation was recorded and presented at the Crime Commission virtual annual luncheon ceremony.
The chapter was honored at the recent GSX+ with the Best Website Award, and was runner-up for Best Newsletter Award. This year has been challenging, but we have continued to persevere to be the best chapter possible. The chapter board looks forward to the time when we can all meet again in person, sometime in mid-2021. We will continue to plan and host informative events and find ways where we can socialize virtually. Thank you for your support, and I look forward to seeing everyone at our next virtual event.

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.
