Public Safety Committee
by Fernando Bren, PSC ChairSince its establishment in March 2004, the MCCF Public Safety Committee has held two meetings with a combined attendance of some 22 participants. A draft Mission Statement has been approved and ten Preliminary Task Groups have been established with designated Task Group Leaders and Members. The Task Groups are developing Goals Statements and lists of Issues & Tasks. In some cases, somewhat voluminous background papers have already been shared with members of the full committee. As the PSC develops an agenda for its work and for MCCF attention, the committee's participants are striving to become informed about the wide array of issues and the plethora of details that are inherent in the broad range of public safety issues which the PSC plans to address.
In its next four already scheduled meetings, the Public Safety Committee is meeting with: Arthur Wallenstein, Director, Montgomery County Department of Correction & Rehabilitation; Leah Barrett, Executive Director, CEASEFIRE MARYLAND INC; J. Thomas Manger, Montgomery County Chief of Police; and a ranking official (to be invited) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
