U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Office of Public Affairs  ICYMI: FPS Statement On Shooting In Oakland, CA FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE On Friday May 29, in an ambush-style, drive-by shooting in Oakland, Calif., two Federal Protective Service Protective Security Officers were shot resulting in the death of PSO David Patrick Underwood and the severe wounding of his partner.  The entire Federal Protective Service family mourns the death of PSO Underwood and anticipates the recovery of the other officer.  Our condolences and deepest sympathies go out to both families.  Over the last several days, the Federal Protective Service has experienced an unprecedented level of threats and attacks against Federal facilities.  In response to ongoing civil unrest, the Federal Protective Service has enhanced its law enforcement presence and taken a number of precautions at those protected facilities, and are standing with our state, local and federal partners to protect the safety of our Federal workforce, critical infrastructure, and Federal property in light of these demonstrations and direct threats. Federal Protective Service law enforcement officers and Protective Security Officers are on the front line, and we will continue to support peaceful demonstration and free speech.  However, we will not tolerate acts of violence, vandalism, or willful destruction of Federal property.

June 2020. NIST Forensic Experts. Getting Data from Damaged Phones, and Data for Investigations.

NIST to Digital Forensics Experts: Show Us What You Got Digital forensics experts often extract data from computers and mobile phones that may contain evidence of a crime. Now, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will conduct the first large-scale study to measure how well those experts do their job. But rather than testing the proficiency of individual experts, the study aims to measure the performance of the digital forensics community overall. In this study, to be conducted online, participants will examine simulated digital evidence, then answer questions that might arise in a real criminal investigation. The exercise should take about two hours, and participation is voluntary. Enrollment is now open, and the online test will be available for approximately three months. Read More

The webinar will examine how national responses are reducing the impacts of COVID-19, especially socio-economic impacts, to sustain the gains realized on the 2030 Agenda. It will also showcase how national responses can achieve synergies to accelerate a resilient recovery for the SDGs in the Decade of Action. It will discuss the road ahead to 2030 and how current government responses can integrate disaster risk reduction measures that respond to double or triple challenges many now face as a result of climate change and COVID-19 socio-economic impacts.

• National risk and emergency management systems in the Americas and Caribbean are engaging in different ways and adopting different commitments in the governance of the current COVID 19 crisis. This approach has been neither planned nor foreseen and has been uneven in many ways: from countries where the Systems have played an important role, to countries where they have had virtually no intervention. The emergency or disaster laws of many countries have been the foundation for actions taken during and after the emergency.

• The multidimensional impact of COVID-19 threatens the development progress achieved under Agenda 2030. The scenario of a major economic contraction could plunge nearly 28 million people in the region into poverty as a result of impacts on the economy and creative industries, among others. It is in this scenario where, from the understanding of systemic risk, it becomes necessary to rethink the cities of the future we want.
