Breakout Session - Secure the Cities

Instructors:  SFC Thomas Scardino

The Secure the Cities program is a federally funded pilot program to protect New York City and the surrounding region from a radiological or nuclear attack. Securing the Cities is a coordinated effort among the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office, the New York City Police Department and numerous other regional law enforcement partner agencies in portions of New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. This program will provide radiation detection equipment and training to the areas surrounding New York City to increase the overall region’s ability to prevent and interdict a radiological or nuclear attack. The goal of this program is to develop a multi-jurisdictional, multi-pathway defense-in-depth architecture for the defense of New York City and the surrounding region.
