Los Angeles Ponders Overseas Links to Counter Terrorism Posted: September 11th, 2006 03:00 PM PDT Xinhua General News Service Los Angeles, the second largest metropolis in the United States, is working on the idea of establishing overseas links to help head off terrorist plots, officials said on Saturday. A high-level panel, the Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness Advisors Council, had suggested that the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) should have officers overseas gathering information to prevent terrorist plots. The panel had also asked the city to appoint a "regional recovery czar" to handle plans for dealing with disasters as well as terrorist attacks. "All of these are innovative ideas that we are trying to move ahead on," Deputy Mayor Maurice Suh said. The suggestions would be presented to the City Council on Monday. The council includes former Mayor Richard Riordan, former Dist. Atty. Ira Reiner, Police Chief William Bratton, L.A. County Sheriff Lee Baca, other officials, and executives from private industry. Other recommendations include setting up a system in which Los Angeles companies would provide water, food, shelter and supplies in a disaster. The New York Police Department already has officers in several overseas countries, according to the Los Angeles Times. Riordan, who pushed for the idea of the regional recovery czar, said his experience as mayor convinced him that a central authority was needed for quick recovery. "Somebody's got to be there to make decisions," Riordan told the Los Angeles Times. Riordan said the mayor is the ultimate decision maker, but a recovery czar could speed up response. _____ FAIR USE NOTICE: All original content and/or articles and graphics in this message are copyrighted, unless specifically noted otherwise.
