The final video in our series going behind the scenes of the Devon & Cornwall Police and Dorset Police Alliance Operations Department looks at the work of specialist officers in the Force Support Group (FSG in Devon and Cornwall and the Enhanced Policing Team (EPT in Dorset).

You can follow the Alliance Operations department on Twitter at *@AllianceOpsDept* where we welcome your comments and queries.

*Q: Are Force Support Group (FSG) officers literally held in reserve?*

A: No, they are not and never have been reserves. FSG officers possess a unique and extremely valuable skill set. They work every day on a variety of tasks that utilise that skill set.

*Q: Are FSG officers a certain age or rank?*

A: Age and rank are immaterial, the qualifying factor is an ability to fulfil the role, which can be quite demanding.

*Q: Does the FSG include, for instance, firearms officers, dog handlers etc.?*

A: FSG includes Specialist Firearms Officers (SFOs), the marine policing team, police divers and core FSG officers.

*Q: The video shows officers policing local football matches. What other sorts of events do FSG officers get involved in?*

A: The highest volume of work by FSG officers is against organised crime group criminality, such as executing search warrants, conducting high risk searches and generally engaging in higher risk activities that are aligned to their skill set. Policing crowded events, football matches and demonstrations can be part of that.

*Q: Does the taxpayer carry the cost of policing football matches?*

A: It depends on a number of factors but cost recovery against commercial deployments such as concerts and football matches is becoming more common place.

*Q: Does “public order” refer to riots?*

A: It is a situation with a crowd dynamic where a degree of risk or unknown outcome exists.

*Q: How many FSG officers are there in the Alliance policing area?*

A: FSG is a Devon and Cornwall resource and has 60 Constables, 10 Sergeants, one Inspector and one Police Staff member. Dorset has a unit called the Enhanced Policing Team (EPT) which provides a similar skill set. The future model is to merge both units.

*Q: When the FSG is used, are the officers working overtime?*

A: No, the officers work a variety of normal 8/9/10 hour shifts but often incur overtime due to the nature of their work.

*Q: Does the FSG help other police forces or organisations elsewhere in the country?*

A: Yes, the FSG skill set makes them a highly sought after resource and regional and national deployments are commonplace.

Trump And ‘His Generals’ On Collision Course Over Iran – OpEd

$
0
0
With President Trump again facing the requirement to certify whether Iran is complying with the P5+1 nuclear deal this month, it looks like a major clash may be brewing between the president and the neocons on one side, and the military generals he openly embraces in his Administration on the other. What might normally be a fairly automatic and objective process is looking more like a clash of the titans for the Administration. Who will blink?

In what must be a relatively uncommon if not unprecedented move, President Trump’s Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff —  the country’s senior-most military officer — Gen. Joseph Dunford told the Senate Armed Services Committee last week that Iran is complying with the agreement and that the United States would suffer negative consequences if it pulled out of the deal.

In so doing, Gen. Dunford directly contradicts his boss, President Trump, who said in late August that Iran is:



…not in compliance with the agreement and they certainly are not in the spirit of the agreement in compliance, and I think you’ll see some very strong things taking place if they don’t get themselves in compliance.



Dunford made the point to the Senate Committee that if the US unilaterally pulls out of the Iran deal claiming non-compliance while the rest of the world holds the opposite view it would negatively impact the US ability to make future deals. No doubt  he was thinking of the current stand-off with North Korea.

Said the Joint Chiefs Chairman:



It makes sense to me that our holding up agreements that we have signed, unless there’s a material breach, would have an impact on others’ willingness to sign agreements.



Gen. Dunford’s concern over whether the US would continue to be a trusted and reliable partner after unilaterally de-certifying Iran is particularly relevant when one looks at the fate of former US allies such as Libya’s Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, Panama’s Noriega, and so on. Unless the US is able to strong-arm a considerable number of its allies into also decertifying Iran, the US would find itself backed into a corner on any non-unilateral, non-military efforts overseas. The US would be likely hard-pressed to find a sufficient number of allies willing to follow Washington back to a policy of open confrontation with Iran, particularly as the economic opening to Tehran has proven so profitable and mutually advantageous to them.

Then just yesterday, another of “Trump’s generals” echoed Dunford. Defense Secretary James Mattis, former US Marine Corps general and former Commander of US Central Command, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that he believes it is in the national security interest of the United States to remain part of the Iran agreement. Said Mattis yesterday, “I believe at this point in time, absent indications to the contrary, it is something the president should consider staying with.”

This follows a letter sent to the president in July from “38 former flag officers from the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines said that the Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action (JCPOA) [the Iran deal] has achieved its aims over the two years since it was signed by the Obama administration, Iran and five world powers.”

The military officers so often deferred to by President Trump are on one side of the Iran recertification issue and the president and his fair weather cheerleaders in the neocon camp are on the other side.

Trump’s trigger-happy ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, in a September speech to the neoconservative American Enterprise Institute said that President Trump would have “ground to stand on” should he decide to decertify Iranian compliance. Her argument was the opposite of Gen. Dunford’s, as she claimed that the US remaining in the deal with Iran would demonstrate to North Korea that Washington is more interested in placating its allies than in looking out for its security interests.

Neoconservative Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) has urged President Trump to pull the US out of the Iran deal, saying last month, “I don’t see how anyone who looks at the facts…can say the deal is in our vital national security interests.”

Sen. Cotton’s already aggressive position vis-a-vis Iran was no doubt further greased by the nearly one million dollars he was paid by neocon kingpin William Kristol’s Emergency Committee for Israel to oppose the Iran deal.

Ambassador Nikki Haley is promoting Sen. Cotton’s rationale for decertification of Iran delivered yesterday at the Council on Foreign Relations and Bill Kristol is right on board. Why decertify Iran? As Sen. Cotton told the CFR crowd: “One thing I learned in the army is that when your opponent is on his knees, you drive him to the ground, and you choke him out.” At least he is clear about his alternative approach to Iran.

Former US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton, who is no doubt already measuring the drapes in Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s office, went so far as to pen a helpful guide to exiting the Iran deal for President Trump. Despite Bolton’s verbosity — a neocon specialty — his grand plan for exiting the deal consists of: 1) strong-arming allies, 2) producing more neocon “white papers” on how bad the deal is, and 3) further propagandizing Congress and the American people.

Where exactly is Iran in violation? Bolton doesn’t say.

And what is Bolton’s next step once his decertification “plan” is implemented? In his own words: “Expedite delivery of bunker-buster bombs” to the region.

Will President Trump listen to Bolton’s roadmap to exiting the Iran deal? Will he consider Bolton’s track record when it comes to planning foreign policy actions? If Bolton were a baseball player, he’d be benched with a .000 batting average.

Will Trump listen to Nikki Haley, Bill Kristol, Tom Cotton, or the rest of the neocon desk generals when it comes to Iran? Or will he listen to his actual generals? This may be the most important foreign policy decision in Trump’s presidency. Grave matters of war or peace hang in the balance. Will the neocons win again?

For 74 years, the merchant ship SS Macumba lay lost beneath the depths of the Arafura Sea, off the coast of Australia's Northern Territory.

It was attacked back in August 1943 by two Japanese aircraft, who scored a direct hit on the ship's engine room. Three seamen were killed, and survivors were taken aboard an escort.

The ship was left to sink, and its whereabouts remained unknown for decades.

White Plains, New York (PRWEB) October 05, 2017

The Chartwell Law Offices, LLP opened a Westchester County, New York office, located at 81 Main Street in White Plains, New York. The office is part of the firm’s growth plan and was created to service Chartwell Law’s clients throughout the state of New York.

“With a significant number of clients throughout New York, we saw a need for a physical office.” said Chartwell Law’s CEO, Cliff Goldstein. “We have a growing client base in Westchester County, as well as a number of attorneys who come from – and have close ties to – the area.”

Leading the White Plains office are Carmen Nicolaou and Gregg Scharaga. Nicolaou and Scharaga both bring 17 years of litigation experience. Nicolaou is a resident of Westchester County.

“The impetus for Gregg and Carmen joining the firm six months ago was, in part, to realize the firm’s plans to further expand into New York,” noted Chartwell Law Founding Partner Charles Barreras. “Many of our clients are trying to reduce the number of firms being used nationwide to gain efficiency and to gain more consistency and predictability in the way legal services are delivered.”

Chartwell Law, a full-service law firm, now has 120 attorneys in 18 offices located throughout the United States. The firm represents companies, insurers and individuals in a wide array of matters including first and third party insurance coverage and defense matters; defense of civil litigation; employment disputes; marine matters; and workers’ compensation cases.

New expert hire reflects that traveler safety is at the forefront for the award-winning cruise line

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) October 05, 2017

Windstar Cruises has announced that they are welcoming seafaring safety specialist Michael Inman as the newest member of the boutique cruise line’s highly accredited leadership team.

Bringing with him a diverse spectrum of experience from both the U.S. Coast Guard and the cruise industry, Inman will report directly to Windstar President John Delaney and work alongside fleet and technical operations officials to further maintain and enhance the luxury line’s high standards for safety and traveler welfare.

“Michael Inman is no stranger to the Windstar family,” explained Delaney. “He’s worked with us in a large capacity over the last nine months, consulting on our new Alaska voyages and has given us critical support with respect to safety, environmental, and regulatory issues. Given his extensive professional experience in these areas, there is no doubt that his vast knowledge and expertise will help us meet our critical objective of safe operations everywhere we sail, every day, and on every ship.”

Inman’s distinguished career with the U.S. Coast Guard involved leading complex operations across drastically different geographic areas including the Caribbean Sea, Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska, and North Pacific Ocean. His day-to-day work life involved commanding multiple Coast Guard vessels and their crews, overseeing emergency search and rescue missions and spearheading intense international law enforcement efforts including counter drug, human smuggling and mass migration. He also helped plan and expand Coast Guard operations in the Arctic, influencing national level policy and decisions.

Inman’s in-depth knowledge of maritime operations in Alaska will continue to provide Windstar with significant advantages for any upcoming Alaskan itineraries, which begin in May 2018. Having served as the Captain of the Port for Southeast Alaska, Sector Juneau – an area known for its limited port facilities while remaining a number one cruise ship destination with over 1 million passengers visiting the region yearly – Inman oversaw more than 12,000 miles of coastline and was responsible for all marine safety, law enforcement matters, environmental protection policies, aids to navigations, and national security issues.

Most recently, Inman worked for Holland America Group for five-and-a-half years, focusing on safety, occupational safety and environmental issues for a fleet of more than 30 cruise ships. Inman also led the marine safety investigation program while at the cruise line and played a key role in supervising emergency response, maritime regulatory audits, environmental compliance and safety management systems.

Educated at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy with a Bachelor of Science in Marine Science and a Master of Science in Telecommunications Systems Management from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, Inman is also an associate fellow of The Nautical Institute and a board member for both the Alaska Maritime Prevention and Response Network and The Puget Sound Maritime Historic Society and Youth Maritime Training Association.

Inman joins the 130 employees on the Windstar corporate team, based at the Seattle headquarters for the six-ship fleet, which offers more than 300 cruises annually sailing to 170 ports worldwide.

SeaWorld shares jump 6% on reports Madame Tussauds owner Merlin Entertainments looking at a potential deal

SeaWorld Entertainment Inc (NYSE:SEA) saw its shares jump 6% in pre-market New York trading after press reports said UK-listed theme parks operator Merlin Entertainments PLC (LON:MERL) has approached the marine park operator about a potential deal. Merlin Entertainments  - the owner of Legoland and Madame Tussauds - is interested in just buying part of SeaWorld, however, and a split of the water park by venues may not be possible, according to a New York Post report. Bloomberg also noted that Merlin’s corporate policy bars the use of whales and dolphins in its properties, and that would keep it from bidding for SeaWorld locations in San Diego, Orlando and San Antonio. Those parks represent about half of SeaWorld’s revenue, it added. A SeaWorld spokeswoman said the company does not comment on rumours. Sources quoted by Reuters said SeaWorld’s preference is to sell itself whole, and said the US group  has also received indications of interest from other parties. In pre-market trading, shares of Orlando-based SeaWorld were up 6% at US$14.96. In London, FTSE 100-listed Merlin Entertainments saw its shares add 2.7% at 460.3p.

Community Care Coordination Platform and Veteran Resources Hub to Create First Service of Its Kind Veteran Network in the Commonwealth

Boston, MA (PRWEB) October 05, 2017

Brighton Marine, an expanding hub of resources for Veterans, and Unite Us, a Veteran owned health & human services software company, have formed a partnership that will help create streamlined and coordinated care for Massachusetts Veterans. The first fully integrated network of its kind in the Greater Boston Area will launch on Veterans Day and is expected to grow to cover the entire Commonwealth and its nearly 370,000 Veterans.

The centralized network connects local Veteran service providers together to coordinate care, track outcomes, improve access, increase collaboration, and enable communities to provide more comprehensive levels of service. Let’s say a Veteran comes to Brighton Marine in need of counseling, a job, financial assistance, and access to health services; Brighton Marine can facilitate referrals to the best providers in each area after a short interview. The end goal – to streamline and simplify the process for the Veteran while tracking that the right help is provided.

“Our partnership with Unite Us brings Brighton Marine one step closer to fulfilling a vision of providing easier access to services and benefits for service members, Veterans and their families in the Greater Boston Area,” said Michael Dwyer, CEO of Brighton Marine. “We expect this program to better connect the public, private and non-profit experts in and around Boston to set the stage for future expansion to service providers across the Commonwealth.  We believe this program fills a gap for both providers and the military and Veteran community.”

“Unite Us is a proud to partner with Brighton Marine, as our missions are aligned to improve the health and well-being of our Military and Veteran community,” said Dan Brillman, CEO of Unite Us. “For us, this is an exciting and new opportunity to continue to expand our National footprint of Coordinated Networks into Massachusetts. Brighton Marine has been a leader in supporting Veterans and making a difference in the Commonwealth, and we are thrilled to be part of the solution to put impactful and efficient programs into action.“

About Brighton Marine:

Since 1940, Veterans and their families have been receiving services at Brighton Marine.  Brighton Marine’s US Family Health Plan is the number one rated quality health plan for active duty families and retired military beneficiaries. Brighton Marine assists homeless Veterans to find housing through an endowment fund that provides funding for costs such as security deposits, first and last month’s rent, outstanding utility bills, and moving expenses. Additionally, the organization will soon break ground on more than 100 units of affordable housing for Veterans and their families. Lastly, Brighton Marine is heavily invested in the community – providing scholarships for local high school students, partnering with other local Veteran-based organizations, helping with Red Cross and Toys for Tots initiatives, and providing funding for streetscape beautification projects in Brighton.

About Unite Us:

Unite Us is a Veteran owned technology company that builds coordinated care networks of health and human services that support individuals in need by integrating all social determinants of health. The Unite Us platform enables communities to make data driven decisions by digitally inter-connecting health and community providers together to meet every individual’s holistic needs. This transformative approach enables providers and communities to seamlessly work together, track clients through their total health journey, and report tangible outcomes across the full range of services in a cohesive, centralized, and collaborative ecosystem. Unite Us currently powers 30 coordinated networks across 16 states.
