Regarding your recent posting of the DHS Surveillance Truck images, I thought
the following might be of interest to your readers:
From the National Border Patrol Council [member of American Federation of
Government Employees AFL-CIO] website, DHS Vehicle Guidelines
- May 2004 [PDF, 1.46mb]:
http://www.nbpc.net/Miscellaneous/VEHICLE_.PDF
This DHS vehicle document has been around for over a year, but this is the
only website that I could locate the document. Included are photographs of
alomst every type of vehicle operated by DHS and their color markings, etc.
Our local sheriff's department has a hard copy.
Seeing how DHS is often tight lipped about their operations, the below link
provides a 'bone with lots of meat on it':
JUSTNET - Justice Technology Information Network (The National Institute
of Justice is the research and development agency of the US Department of
Justice. NLECTC is a program of NIJ's Office of Science and Technology.)
http://www.nlectc.org/training/nijconf.html
This website often posts exhibition/conference speakers 'talks' in their
entirety, usually in PDF format.... and frequently the 'talks' will be removed
after they are posted, by request of the speakers themselves or DHS. Look
for the NLECTC Virtual Library link and go there..... interesting to say
the least.
A chance for anyone to get their fair share of the DHS 'budget pie' is the
Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency's SBIR. (SBIR - Small
Business Innovation Research)
