2011 Public Security S&T Summer Symposium:14–16 June 2011 Ottawa, Ontario

Welcome

Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) and Public Safety Canada are pleased to bring you the Public Security S&T Symposium. As the new ADM (Science and Technology) and Chief Executive Officer of DRDC, I am proud of the remarkable research and technology generated in response to the Government of Canada’s public safety and security priorities. The reputation of this event as a forum of excellence for sharing knowledge and creating new relationships is well established within the public service and Canada’s broader innovation system. DRDC and Public Safety Canada jointly play a role in supporting these efforts.

This year’s theme, Common Problems – Shared Solutions – Enhanced Public Security through Collaborative S&T, provides an ideal platform to highlight the success of the horizontal program model underpinning public safety and security S&T activities in Canada. This year, we have increased the number of scientific presentations to bring you a broader overview of the excellent work underway in the areas of personal protective equipment, CBRNE detection and diagnostics tools and protocols, decontamination, surveillance and alerting systems, critical infrastructure protection, biometrics, medical countermeasures, casualty management, and cutting-edge work applying capability based planning, visioning, and foresight approaches.

You will also have the opportunity to visit with scientific and technical experts during the poster session, which features more than 30 projects covering a range of CBRNE issues, as well as biometrics and cyber and border security. I also invite you to pay close attention to our exciting line-up of keynote speakers and panelists who have a wealth of knowledge and expertise to share with you.

I wish you a great symposium and encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to expand your knowledge base and create new linkages with other members of the federal S&T community who, like you, are committed to excellence and dedicated to enhancing the safety and security of Canadians.

2011 Public Security S&T Summer Symposium:14–16 June 2011 Ottawa, Ontario

Welcome

Welcome to the 2011 Public Security S&T Summer Symposium. This event provides a rare opportunity to bring together experts from the science, intelligence, policy, management, planning, and responder communities. The body of work of this diverse group has had a tremendous impact on our country and the world, especially over the course of the last two years where we have made significant progress in integrating S&T into policy and operations.

Last year, the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games were a hot topic at the Symposium, highlighting a new level of S&T support to security operations. This trend continues and in the last 12 months, the federal S&T community has supported real-world events like the G8 and G20 summits in Ontario, the floods in Manitoba, and the nuclear crisis in Japan, which will be the topic of our first keynote speaker. We also continue to build more robust ties between S&T and planning and policy. This year alone, Public Safety Canada has released several strategies and action plans, all of which benefited greatly from S&T advice and guidance. You will learn more about these efforts in the panel discussion on the role of S&T in policy development and implementation.

Strong relationships between the federal community and first responders continue to be essential to the development of S&T solutions that meet the real needs of the front-line. Wednesday afternoon’s panel on building an evidence-based research agenda for responders will provide great insight into this important issue. In the current security landscape, the proliferation of social media is creating new complex challenges and I look forward to some great discussions from the panel on the analysis and exploitation of massive social media data. Maintaining a secure and efficient flow of people and goods is essential to Canada’s prosperity, making border security one of our top priorities. I invite you to learn more about this multifaceted issue in Thursday’s panel discussion. Last, but certainly not least, we will have the privilege of hearing one of Sweden’s leading legal minds, our closing keynote speaker, Helena Lindberg, Director General of the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency.

I join my esteemed colleague, Dr. Fortin, in wishing you a great symposium and thanking you for your hard work and dedication to enhancing the safety and security of Canada’s people and infrastructure.
