Sheriff Mark Danos told KWCD listeners he has been appointed to the Homeland Security Advisory Council as a representative of America—s sheriffs and that he attended the council—s first meeting in Washington, D.C.
Danos said the council advises the secretary (and by extension federal decision-makers) on homeland-security subjects including large public events, border issues and other community-level security concerns. He described a meet-and-greet at the secretary—s residence and a formal session held in a situation-room setting.
"I'm bringing Cochise County with me," Danos said, describing his intention to represent local experiences in the national forum. He said the council includes a mix of established figures and that he expects to learn from and contribute to the group.
Danos did not describe any formal action taken by the council during his first meeting on air, but said membership will allow him to raise Cochise County issues at the federal advisory level.
