Private Sector liaisons form one of
three liaison batalions. During peace time, Private Sector
Liaisons collect and channel visual intelligence of
potential terrorist activity to local law enforcement and
through the InfraGard and Department of Homeland Security
reporting systems.
During war time or during a
private sector response to a community crisis, Priavate
Sector Liaisons channel intelligence first through the 9-1-1
system to the public sector incident commander and
subsequently through our private sector incident reporting
systems. |
|
Private sector liaisons are embedded in all Door County
veteran posts, business associations to include the Chamber
of Commerce, Door County Development Corporation, and all
village business associations. Private sector liaisons are
embedded along critical infrastructure support and supply
lines reinforced by liaisons embedded in most community
organizations, clubs, and societies. |

Allow me to introduce a few more VFW Post 8337 "Private
Sector" liaisons. NOTE: Focus more on why I selected each
liaison more than who I selected. Expect your liaisons to
change without warning. We teach "field expediency which
means, be ready to populate your incident command structure
with those at the scene or within the 72 minute response
standard. Refer to our "International Liaison' selection
tutorial to learn more. |
