New England Joint Criminal and Epidemiological Investigations Workshop
Sponsored by :

 

  • Workshop: this free conference is aimed at creating a better level of understanding between the criminal investigator and the public health investigator, which will in turn lead to better coordination in the event of a human, plant, or animal outbreak that is suspected to have a criminal or terrorist origin. We realize that a concurrent and unforeseen training in Massachusetts will take some of our epidemiologists away from us, but encourage all law enforcement who might work a biological attack scenario, and all persons working in public health associated with human, animal, or plant disease outbreaks, including both public and private infectious disease personnel and persons involved in food safety, to attend. We currently do not have an attendance limit for this conference, and are hoping to attract about 150 persons from various backgrounds from around New England. The workshop takes place over two days with a singular running scenario. Attendees will benefit most by attending both days, and presentations/breakouts are aimed at having law enforcement and public health attendees understand each other's positions in an event to foster working together. The dress is business casual. Lunch is not included
  • Target Audience: law enforcement who may be investigatively involved in bioterror investigations as well as persons involved in public health, epidemiology, animal and plant health, food safety, and investigation of disease outbreaks.
  • Date: February 9-10/2010
  • Time: 8:00 AM-5:00PM
  • Location: Sheraton Framingham Hotel and Conference Center at 1657 Worcester Road, Framingham, MA 01701
  • Registration: Web Link
  • More Information: Agenda
  • Contact: Speical Agent Dan Einhaus WMD Coordinator, FBI, 617-892-2873 (cell phone)
