ASIS NYC Security Expo To Honor Heroism Of 9/11 First Responders

  • Apr 15, 2011

In observance of the 10th anniversary of 9/11/01, the New York City Chapter of ASIS International (ASIS) will recognize the sacrifice and heroism of the members of the New York City Police Department (NYPD), the New York City Fire Department (FDNY), and the Port Authority Police Department (PAPD) at its Person of the Year Luncheon on Thursday, May 12 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. The special luncheon is held annually in conjunction with the ASIS NYC Security Expo.
 
The ASIS New York City Chapter’s Person of the Year Award honors an individual or group who has contributed to the safety and security of New York City over the prior year. In remembrance of the police officers and firefighters who lost their lives on 9/11 and in recognition of the continuing efforts of each of these three departments to maintain the safety and security of New York City, the chapter is honored to present this year’s award to NYPD Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly, FDNY Commissioner Salvatore J. Cassano, and PAPD Superintendent Michael A. Fedorko.
 
“There is no greater sacrifice than to lose one’s life in the service of others. With this award, we honor the memory of those who fell and the dedication of those who live today with illnesses and disabilities resulting from their acts of heroism on that history-changing day,” said ASIS NYC Chapter Chair Kevin O’Brien. “We also commend the innovative men and women of the NYPD, FDNY, and the PAPD for their tireless efforts to mitigate potential risks which threaten our communities each and every day.”
 
The Person of the Year Luncheon, themed “Remembrance and Thanks”, will begin at noon in the Grand Ballroom of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. Luncheon tickets, which include a pre-luncheon cocktail reception beginning at 11:30 a.m., may be purchased online for $75 per person, or on-site on May 12. Reservations for tables of 10 will also be accepted in advance for $750.
 
Those who purchase tickets for the luncheon may also enjoy complimentary registration to the 21st Annual Security Expo, which will be held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Guests may visit the exhibit floor beginning at 9:00 a.m., and attend the free opening seminar session entitled “What Now?” at 9:30 a.m. before the luncheon.

The Expo will conclude with an hour-long cocktail reception offering door prizes beginning at 3:30 p.m. Online and on-site registration are also available for the Expo. The one-day, free event is the largest regional show in the security industry -- drawing more than 3,000 security practitioners, corporate decision-makers and law enforcement personnel from Maine to Alabama.

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
