Field Forensics (FFI) exhibited its range of products and services at FPED VII at the Stafford Regional Airfield, Stafford, Virginia. The primary goal of the FPED is to provide leaders and decision-makers from DOD, Federal departments and agencies, and selected state/local law enforcement and corrections agencies the opportunity to observe, and become familiar with, available COTS physical security/force protection equipment. The FPED brings together knowledgeable leaders from around the world and puts them in contact with manufacturers such as FFI who have equipment solutions for physical security/force protection needs. The most important function of FPED is to provide leaders the opportunity to view available equipment and future equipment possibilities.
Also this month, we were joined by Kevin Cresswell, who now runs our Los Angeles regional office. Kevin has over twenty six years global security, investigation and intelligence experience with UK law enforcement, the British Army and Intelligence services. He is a renowned authority on maritime counter terrorism and security for the film and television industry.
