A presentation from Phil Moore, a training specialist with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Homeland Security, will highlight the Thursday schedule. From 12:50 p.m. to 5 p.m., Moore will conduct an emergency management tabletop exercise, examining operational plans and problem solving strategies for HBCU law enforcement personnel.
Other speakers slated for Thursday include Warren Riley, former New Orleans police superintendent, who will give the opening plenary entitled “Working Effectively with Administrators” at 9 a.m.; Glenn Rosenberg, general manager of Allied Barton Security Company, who will give a lecture entitled “Working Effectively with Budget Restraints” at 10:15 a.m.; and Henry Kuhn, who will discuss firearms training at 11:45 a.m.
“We want to welcome the HBCUs to New Orleans and thank (HBCU-LEEA President) Chief Therese Homer for bringing the conference to Dillard and Xavier for the first time,” said Dillard University Chief of Public Safety Andre Menzies. “This conference helps to become better in everything we do. We talk emergency preparation, grant writing – everything related to public safety departments – and put it all in the HBCU context.”
