Executive Director Jim Pasco held a conference call today with Brian Dorow, Deputy Assistant Secretary, Office for State and Local Law Enforcement (OSLLE), DHS; Dr. Alex L. Eastman, Senior Medical Officer—Operations, U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS); an active officer with the Dallas Police Department and a proud member of the FOP; and Lori Sims, Management Project Analyst with the OSLLE, to discuss the need to address the patchwork of approaches to handling officer exposure issues at the state and local level. Without a national standard, jurisdictions have been addressing this issue, or not addressing it, without any guidance or best practices. Deputy Assistant Secretary Dorow and Dr. Eastman promised the FOP that they would work to develop and release model policies and best practices for local and state law enforcement and have this material to the field early next week.
