(That's a long list of professionals!). That means YOU! 
 
From Dione Mazzolini, FBI Assistant WMD Coordinator, " Our state has some definite vulnerabilities when it comes to an agro-terrorism event, and speaking from experience, the better we understand each other's mission, roles and responsibilities, the better chance of success we have working together to contain the threat and identify the perpetrator. " 
 
  Training Objectives
  • Understand roles, responsibilities, and authorities  for each discipline during an outbreak of an unusual and/or high consequence animal or plant disease 
  • Identify assets and capabilities for each discipline.
  • Demonstrate types of information collected by law enforcement and animal/plant health experts and how and when to share it with each discipline.
  • Discuss best practices for conducting a joint threat assessment, joint investigations, joint interviews, and evidence collection.
