Public Safety Signals

Politics of Public Safety II

2008 Mar 4 Posted by Joseph Pascarella

Earlier this year, I wrote about the upcoming Presidential election and public safety. At that time, there was not much clarity in the race from both parties.

As of this writing, it appears that Senator John McCain of Arizona has clinched the Republican nomination and will face off in against either Senator Hillary Clinton from New York or Senator Barack Obama from Illinois. Given the backgrounds of each of the three, this should engage in some very interesting debate and dialogue about public safety. Senator McCain is a Vietnam veteran, Senator Obama has lived in several different geographic regions of the country and Senator Clinton has represented the State of New York since 2000 and has lead the state through the perils of 9/11.

Either of the three candidates has a very challenging mandate with respect to Public Safety, given the geopolitical circumstances of not changed significantly since the 9/11 attacks and an entire government agency, the Department of Homeland Security has been operational for nearly five years. Public safety issues will certainly be on the forefront during the election process.

Take care and stay safe.
