Description
Big Impacts without Big Budgets
Transformation means more than improved efficiencies and better performance. It means building solutions in a human-centric way that will be easily accepted and more effective. That is of vital importance as the roles of emergency management and law enforcement become less distinct and their mission needs expand. This interactive session will explore how agencies and industry partners can engage in innovation efforts that are geared toward meeting the demands of next-generation first responders, with a focus on how emerging technologies through innovative funding mechanisms can help expand the mission itself—even when working within the constraints of tight budgets.
Panelists:
- Ira Baron, Chief Technology Officer, OJP
- Ron Bewtra, Chief Technology Officer, DOJ
- Sonny Bhagowalia, Deputy Assistant Commissioner, OIT, CBP, DHS
- Megan Mahle, Acting Director of the Office of Industry Partnerships, DHS S&T
- Beth Buck, Chief Inspector, Portfolio Management Branch, ITD, US Marshals Service, Moderator
