5. 5 Technology Requirements Identification BRTC Advisory Council consists of federal, state and local law enforcement located along U.S. southern and northern border Broad categories of technology requirements discussed by participants from the northern border: –Communications License plate readers for interior bridges in Michigan; satellite phones for rural areas; affordable multi-band radios –Contraband Detection Fiber-optic scopes; hand-held narcotics trace detectors; hidden compartment detection in vehicles; meth lab detection; –[Public Safety Aviation] Light fixed-winged aircraft; unmanned aircraft systems –Situational Awareness/Information Sharing Mobile biometrics – gateway capability/data base access dependent Common operational picture (s) –Wide-area Surveillance Power sources for extended covert operations; maritime radar; unattended ground sensors in forested terrain; robotics

6. 6 State/local LE and Northern BSI Summary Questions What are the public safety metrics? UCR data? TRAC data? New measures? How can technology introduction and performance associate with measures of improved security? What part or portion of technologies developed and fielded for DHS components can concurrently benefit State and local law enforcement?
