Safeguards Consulting Sponsors ASIS Milwaukee’s Law Enforcement Appreciation Luncheon
/Safeguards Consulting is proud to reflect on our recent experience at the ASIS Greater Milwaukee Chapter’s Annual Law Enforcement (LE) Appreciation Luncheon, held on November 13th at the historic Bucyrus Club and Museum.
As proud sponsors of this meaningful event, we had the unique opportunity to connect with dedicated law enforcement professionals and community leaders who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe.
Donald “Don” McInnes, our Physical Security and Fire Alarm Systems Specialist and Instructor, who is a member of the Milwaukee Chapter, attended the event. When we asked him about the event, he stated, “Our Greater Milwaukee ASIS Chapter’s Annual Event was very well attended by Southeast Wisconsin law enforcement leadership, including many Police Chiefs and their State and Federal LE partners. Our chapter has held this event for many years, which gives our private sector security an opportunity to acknowledge and thank our public sector LE community at no cost to their agency or departments.”
The highlight of the luncheon was an enlightening presentation by Chris Litzkow, State Capitol Police Deputy Chief and Wisconsin Air Coordination Group (WI ACG) Co-Chair. His topic, titled “Wisconsin Air Coordination and The Statewide WI Drone Network,” offered a fascinating glimpse into the cutting-edge air resources that support law enforcement operations across the state. From planes and helicopters to the rapidly expanding use of drone technology, Deputy Chief Litzkow detailed how these assets are made available at no cost to local departments, regardless of the size of their community.
This network of aerial support plays a crucial role in a wide range of law enforcement activities, including criminal investigations, search and rescue missions, and emergency response efforts. What stood out was the emphasis on accessibility and collaboration, ensuring that even smaller, resource-limited departments can leverage these advanced tools to enhance safety and efficiency.
The presentation was not only informative but also inspiring, showcasing the innovative ways technology is transforming public safety in Wisconsin. Everyone who attended left the luncheon with renewed appreciation for the dedication of our law enforcement partners and the incredible resources at their disposal.
McInnes went on to add in reflection, "It was an excellent presentation filled with many insights. Overall, the event was a great success, and our firm’s sponsorship helped offset the cost for law enforcement attending. I personally knew several of the Police Chiefs in attendance, including our former Milwaukee County Sheriff, whom I sat with, and it was great to renew those old friendships, especially with those who are now engaged in the private security sector.”
Our firm is honored to support events such as this that celebrate and empower those who serve our communities, and we are happy to hear this year’s event was such a success.
Additionally, we would like to thank McInnes for representing us, the ASIS Greater Milwaukee Chapter for hosting the event, LE for protecting our communities daily, the Bucyrus Club and Museum for hosting us, Terry Browne and Sean O’Neill for all their work preparing for the event, Chris Litzkow for taking the time to speak and share his expertise, Father Matthew Szymanski for the invocation, and everyone else who was involved in the overall success of the event.
We look forward to continuing our partnership with the ASIS Greater Milwaukee Chapter and contributing to initiatives that promote safety, collaboration, and innovation throughout the region.
