Chapter 50 Newsletter

60th Anniversary 1960 - 2020

I hope that our members, colleagues, families, and friends continue to stay healthy and safe during these challenging times. We have finished our third month
dealing with COVID-19 in Kansas City.  It feels like a life time ago that we
had our last in person chapter luncheon.  The board and I appreciate
everyone's patience and support as we continue to find novel ways to
provide quality presentations and events for the chapter. 

Sadly, we have had a loss to our Greater Kansas City Law Enforcement family.  Officer Mike Mosher, with the Overland Park Police Department, was killed while investigating a hit-and-run incident he witnessed while on the way to work.  For those who would like to make a donation in memory of Officer Mosher
please visit the chapter's memorial page.

Again, I'm truly honored and humbled to be the 2020 Chapter Chair for this great organization. If you have any questions or recommendations please
contact me at chairman@kcasis.org.

Best Regards,

Rick Dunn, CPP
KC ASIS Chapter Chairman

May Chapter Events

DHS Protective Security Advisors discussed a myriad of items that DHS can provide and support industry.  Some of the subjects discussed were Exercises and Training, Chemical Facilities, and Terrorism Standards.

On May 21, chapter members enjoyed a virtual Happy Hour with their
favorite beverage.  Discussion was loose, lively, and with a lot of laughs. A
special shout out to Brandee Gary and Jon Gann for bringing trivia
questions. Be on the look out for our next social event.
