BlueLine Grid Deploys First-of-Its-Kind Mobile App Security for Super Bowl 50
The security teams behind Super Bowl 50 integrated a new mobile app as part of their surveillance strategy. The app was developed by BlueLine Grid technology—a DC-based startup that operates a collaboration network for law enforcement, first responders, and security teams around the country. The security mobile app was deployed to the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center, one of the 78 federally-supported intelligence and information centers that include representatives from top federal, state, and local agencies. “The BlueLine Grid platform enables us to alert our public safety and private sector partners in real time and get their feedback more quickly and effectively,” said NCRIC Director Mike Sena, who is also President of the National Fusion Center Association. “It’s a first-of-its kind approach to critical incident management and
regional collaboration.”

Local and Federal Law Enforcement Drill Terror Scenarios in “Operation Heat Shield”
Nearly two dozen South Florida law enforcement agencies joined together on Saturday for a daylong active shooter simulation. Dubbed Operation Heat Shield, the training took place in prime target spots, such as the Coast Guard base on Miami Beach, Marlins Park, and Miami International Airport.
Miami-Dade Police Director Juan Perez said that while individual agencies routinely conduct these kinds of drills, Saturday’s was the first of its kind to systematically engage law enforcement entities across South Florida. Among those overseeing the training was Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson. The goal of the exercise was to reduce the vulnerability of the state and the county to disasters, both natural and man-made. Operation Heat Shield also involved 300 civilian volunteers to pose as hostages and victims.

Former Teradata Corporation Executive to Build Crime Data Center in Dayton, Ohio
Montgomery County, Ohio, Sheriff Phil Plummer has hired Bruce Langos, a former Teradata Corporation executive, to build a Dayton fusion center. There are 29 law enforcement agencies in Montgomery County, and the goal is to build one intelligence center to avoid duplicating efforts. Since 2005, Montgomery County has funded the Justice Web system—a system that lets police officers and judges enter a name and obtain an individual’s criminal history. Plummer believes the center needs to be multijurisdictional, with more than one community supporting the system. The center will use geospatial mapping, predictive analysis, and other tools and draw from social media and other databases.

The President’s National Cybersecurity Plan: What You Need to Know
On February 9, 2016, President Obama directed the Administration to implement a Cybersecurity National Action Plan (CNAP), a long-term strategy to ensure that the federal government, the private sector, and American citizens can take better control of our digital security. The CNAP will invest more than $19 billion to ensure that (1) Americans have the security tools they need to protect their identities online, (2) companies can protect and defend their operations and information from hackers, and (3) the U.S. government protects the private information citizens provide for federal benefits and services.
