Previous Meetings
July 2008
Topic:
- John Harvey will be presenting the new CyberWatch service
developed by the Memphis Police Department. As part of their
continuing effort to make our neighborhoods safer, it provides
useful information about public safety and additional ways for the
public to communicate with police. This service is currently
available to community organizations, which in turn distribute the
information to their members. It allows users to select a reporting
radius based on either an address or an intersection, and receive a
CyberWatch report via daily email. Future plans include providing
access to a map of all of Shelby County divided into, what crime
analysts call SRAs "small reporting areas," which will enable
individuals to access the system directly by clicking on an area and
generating a CyberWatch report or Real Time Crime Center data.
- Stan Johnson will be presenting Print-to-Mail Recovery as an
essential part of a company's continuity and recovery plans. While
most companies understand the need for a recovery plan for their
print and mail production facilities, time and budget constraints
often hinder the process of implementing a plan. This session gives
a detailed "how to" explanation for plan implementation and testing.
Learning these important steps may save time and money when
developing continuity plans specific to your print and mail
production needs.
