  • MIL-OSI Security: Bonnyville —  Bonnyville RCMP targeted by suspect driving a trackhoe

    Source: Royal Canadian Mounted Police

    On May 3, 2025, at approximately 6:55 p.m., a male suspect drove a stolen trackhoe into the parking lot of the Bonnyville RCMP detachment. Investigation has revealed that just prior to this occurring at the detachment, the suspect stole the trackhoe from a local business. In the process of stealing the trackhoe, the suspect drove through a fence of the business, causing significant damage.

    The suspect then headed to the detachment, picking up boulders along the way. He then dumped several boulders in front of the prisoner bay of the detachment, believed to be an attempt to delay officer’s ability to respond to calls. He then drove the trackhoe into five unoccupied parked police vehicles, making them inoperable. The suspect then fled from the detachment on foot.

    Thanks to assistance from the RCMP RTOC (Real Time Operations Center), numerous resources were called in to assist, including St. Paul Police Dog Services (Chase), Cold Lake RPAS (drone), Eastern Alberta District General Investigation Section and Crime Reduction Unit and Elk Point Detachment. The real-time operations center is based out of K Division headquarters and is comprised of RCMP officers who are able to oversee and quarterback high risk incidents, such as this as they unfold. Their involvement in these types of incidents not only increase our chances of catching a fleeing suspect, but officer safety also increases. They are truly an invaluable resource.

    Containment was set up and the search began for the suspect. A short time later, PDS Chase located the suspect hiding in a tree line just north west of the detachment. During his arrest, the suspect resisted and fought officers, and as a result, he was bitten by PDS Chase. Once in custody, he was taken to a local hospital to get treated for minor injuries and was released.

    A 62-year-old individual, a resident of Bonnyville, has been charged with 13 criminal code offences:

    · Dangerous driving

    · Mischief over $5000 (x6)

    · Break and enter

    · PSP over $5000

    · Theft over $5000

    · Obstruct/resist peace officer (x2)

    · Utter threats

    The last charge of uttering threats was as a result of an April 17, 2025, incident in which the individual called OCC (dispatch) in Saskatchewan and uttered threats to kill RCMP officers.

    After a judicial interim release hearing, the individual was remanded into custody for Alberta Court of Justice in Bonnyville on May 6, 2025.

    Detachment Commander Staff Sgt. Sarah Parke states, “Incidents like this can be frightening for communities. In this instance, we believe there was no threat to the public and the RCMP was the target. Alberta RCMP officers from neighbouring detachments did not hesitate to assist to ensure the suspect was quickly taken into custody, as well as assisting with ensuring on-going police service in Bonnyville.

    This incident has garnered a lot of attention on social media, and unfortunately, many of the comments are negative, some of which are threatening towards RCMP to the point of expressing disappointment that officers were not injured or killed during the incident. All RCMP officers come to work, day in and day out, to protect and serve their community. It is extremely disheartening to see these types of comments made.

    Alberta RCMP have seen a steady increase in violence towards police in recent years. Most recent statistics indicate that on average, there are 2.3 incidents of violence occurring every day towards Alberta RCMP officers. In 2023, 70 Alberta officers were injured as a result of use of force incidents.

    Thankfully, no one was injured during this incident.”

    Source: Royal Canadian Mounted Police

    Alberta RCMP are providing an update to the officer involved shooting in Maskwacis on April 24, 2025. The Maskwacis Fire Department was successful in containing the fire and preventing any spread beyond the immediate area. Once the fire was extinguished, RCMP, ASIRT, and Fire Investigators conducted an extensive search of the burned residence and have concluded that no persons were located inside.

    RCMP continue the investigation into identifying and locating the suspect that was previously believed to be in the residence, but have concluded that no member of the public was injured during this police operation. There is no additional information available about this incident at this time.

    ASIRT was directed to investigate the potential harm to a civilian from both the shooting and subsequent fire at the residence. Due to the confirmation that no civilian was harmed in the incident ASIRT’s involvement in the matter has ceased, but the RCMP will be continuing their own review of the matter.

    Background

    Alberta RCMP officer involved shooting in Maskwacis

    On April 24, 2025, Maskwacis RCMP were asked to assist Edmonton Police Service with the investigation and subsequent arrest of occupants who fled from a stolen vehicle into a residence in Montana First Nation, Alta. Soon after, two suspects exited the house and were arrested. The third, who was believed to be in possession of a firearm, remained in the residence. The Alberta RCMP Emergency Response Team (ERT) was called in to assist.

    Soon after 10:50 p.m., a confrontation occurred between RCMP and the suspect, resulting in at least one officer discharging their service weapon. No officers were injured during this confrontation. Soon after, the residence caught fire and no one was observed exiting. The Maskwacis Fire Department was called as soon as the fire started and are still dealing with the property.

    In compliance with legislative requirements, the Director of Law Enforcement was immediately notified causing the deployment of ASIRT to conduct an independent investigation. The RCMP believes in accountability and transparency and in so doing will provide full support to the ASIRT investigators. Events like this are difficult for everyone involved.

    Independent of ASIRT’s investigation, the RCMP’s internal review process has been implemented to gather a full account of what took place during this incident. RCMP training, policy, police response, and the officer’s duty status will be subject to review. The RCMP is, of course, fully cooperating with ASIRT. All media inquiries about this incident should now be directed to ASIRT at 780-641-9099.

  • MIL-OSI Security: Emerging criminal threats targeted by INTERPOL’s European Regional Conference

    Source: Interpol (news and events)

    2 June 2025

    Senior law enforcement officials from across Europe gather in Athens to tackle serious international crime

    ATHENS, Greece – The increasing complexity of international crime is being addressed at INTERPOL’s 52nd European Regional Conference, which is hosted in Athens, Greece this week.

    The three-day (2 – 4 June) conference brings more than 150 senior police representatives from Europe, and around the world, to address major challenges for European policing and the impact of international crime on the region.

    The conference was opened by Michalis Chrysochoidis, Minister of Citizen Protection of Greece, Lieutenant General Dimitrios Mallios, Chief of the Hellenic Police, Major General Ahmed Nader Al-Raisi, President of INTERPOL and Valdecy Urquiza, Secretary General of INTERPOL.

    Delegates will be addressing the evolving nature of crime in Europe, including changing security threats in Europe, the dark side of Artificial Intelligence, and the Silver Notice, a pilot launched by INTERPOL this year to help trace and recover criminal assets.

    Chaired by INTERPOL’s Vice President for Europe, Peter de Buysscher, the meeting of senior police officials will also look at some of the most serious criminal activity, including drug and firearms trafficking and the link between organized crime and terrorism.

    Addressing the opening ceremony of the conference, Michalis Chrysochoidis, Minister of Citizen Protection of Greece, said:

    “It is a great honor to host in Athens the 52nd INTERPOL European Regional Conference, an important meeting, which in those days of global and regional instability is more important and necessary. We need to stay united, with a common approach to security and policing. The main topics of this year’s conference are absolutely timely. Emerging security threats and especially organized crime, the abuse of artificial intelligence, environmental crime, and human trafficking, are not isolated challenges, but very important and interconnected security threats. To counter those threats we need intelligence, technology, and new tools and above all partnership. We need to work together.

    “I want to express my sincere thanks to INTERPOL’s leadership for their tireless work in supporting operational coordination, innovation, and capability development. The tools and platforms offered by INTERPOL as the Biometric Hub and the ICSE database, or joint operations like Lionfish—are examples to what international cooperation can achieve when backed by political will and professional excellence.”

    Lieutenant General Dimitrios Mallios, Chief of the Hellenic Police, said:

    “For the Hellenic Police, international cooperation is imperative. Greece’s geographic location at the crossroad of three continents, with a fluid security landscape, marked by successive crises are reasons to remain vigilant. We are dedicated to contributing to Europe’s security architecture and we do this by actively engaging in all Interpol’s activities.

    “This Conference offers us a vital opportunity to deepen that cooperation, to share knowledge, and to explore new tools and strategies that will help us respond swiftly and effectively to all evolving

    threats. Whether it is building capacity in digital forensics, enhancing border security, or dismantling criminal networks, our success depends on coordination, trust, and shared commitment. Let us also not forget the human side of our work—the communities we protect, the victims we serve, and the future generations we strive to safeguard.”

    INTERPOL President, Ahmed Naser Al-Raisi, said:

    “We are grateful to the Greek authorities for hosting us in Athens, the birthplace of a civilization that shaped the world, when Europe is at a critical moment. It faces threats that cross borders, spread online, and deeply affect human lives. And while national efforts are vital, only strong regional and global cooperation can truly stop them.

    “We must be even more determined to find these criminals, stop them, and bring them to justice. We must also keep our eyes on the future. From artificial intelligence to biometric identity systems and darknet surveillance, we are entering an era of complexity.

    “That is why INTERPOL is investing in innovation to ensure you stay ahead of evolving crime. From artificial intelligence and digital forensics to virtual training and detection of synthetic media, we are equipping police with the technology needed to act in today’s complex environment.”

    Valdecy Urquiza, Secretary General of INTERPOL, said:

    “Law enforcement in Europe and around the world is facing increasingly complex, evolving criminal threats and challenges. Whether from emerging technologies, changes to existing serious criminal activity, or new networks being created by criminal groups, these innovations make it harder for police to prevent criminal activity and maintain public safety.

    “This conference shows that the international policing community can and will respond. I am delighted to be working alongside colleagues to share best practice, develop cutting-edge capabilities and to work together to prevent international crime.

    “INTERPOL is committed to bringing more critical data into Europe, supporting more high-value operation actions and supporting European police, including through improved systems to enable law enforcement across Europe and the world to have the best possible tools.”

    During the three-day conference, delegates will also elect members of the INTERPOL European Committee and address motions on organized crime, cybercrime and a new INTERPOL information sharing system.

    INTERPOL’s European region is the most active, contributing nearly half of INTERPOL’s 150 million records.

    Orlando, Florida – United States Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe announces that Bradley D. Burch (34, Apopka), Ronald E. Hubbard Jr. (37, Apopka), and Douglas E. Arnett Jr. (33, Orlando) have pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute fentanyl, a fentanyl analog, and methamphetamine. Burch also pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. Hubbard and Arnett each face a minimum penalty of 10 years, up to life, in federal prison, and Burch faces a minimum penalty of 15 years, up to life, in federal prison. 

    According to plea agreements and court documents, throughout 2023, undercover agents conducted multiple controlled purchases of powder fentanyl, counterfeit fentanyl pills, and methamphetamine from Burch. For at least some of those deals, Hubbard, Arnett, or both supplied the drugs to Burch to sell to the undercover agents. Over the course of the conspiracy, they distributed nearly 2 kilograms of methamphetamine and over 350 grams of fentanyl or fentanyl analog mixtures. Additionally, during some of these transactions, Burch had a firearm nearby or in his waistband. 

    This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Apopka Police Department. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Megan Testerman.

    This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.  On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.

    The 43-year-old individual was taken before a justice of the peace and released for future court dates at the Alberta Court of Justice in Brooks.

    “These investigations spearheaded by the Southern and Central Alberta Crime Reduction Units with assistance from RCMP detachments across Southern Alberta showcases the Alberta RCMP’s ability to work collaboratively in interdicting crime networks,” says Constable Adam Heather of SAD CRU, “two of the stolen firearms recovered in Aldersyde are linked to the same break and enter as two of the stolen firearm recovered in the Rockyford search, this demonstrates how different crime groups are interconnected.”

  • MIL-OSI USA: Statement from Congresswoman Ilhan Omar on the 5 Year Anniversary of George Floyd’s Murder

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Representative Ilhan Omar (DFL-MN)

    MINNEAPOLIS – Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) released the following statement on the five year anniversary of the murder of George Floyd.

    “Five years.
    For five years we have carried the weight of George Floyd’s murder.
    For five years we have called for a system that values Black life and ensures public safety.

    “I am proud of the progress we’ve made, from organizing in our streets to the changes in local policy. I am grateful for the courage of our community in Minneapolis, and for the continued efforts of advocates fighting for justice every day. Because of these advocates, the world was forced to confront the violence embedded in our policing systems.

    “But five years after George Floyd was murdered, there is still so much more work to do. Communities in Minneapolis and across this country continue to be over-policed and under-resourced. Too many families live with the fear that an encounter with law enforcement could turn deadly. And now, we face the horrifying possibility that Derek Chauvin could be pardoned. His pardon would be an insult to George’s memory and to the millions who took to the streets demanding change. Justice undone is still justice denied.

    “This anniversary is a reminder that we need lasting police reform. We need the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act and we need investments in our communities, not more militarized policing. George Floyd should be alive today and we will keep fighting in his name until we build a system that guarantees dignity and safety for all.”

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Representative Ilhan Omar (DFL-MN)

    WASHINGTON – Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) issued the following statement on the Department of Justice’s decision to dismiss the Consent Decree.

    “Five years after George Floyd’s murder in our city, the Department of Justice is now walking away from the very reforms his death demanded. This decision by the Trump Administration is truly a disgrace and a betrayal of the people who took to the streets demanding change and to the families who have lost a loved one to police violence.

    “The consent decree was about honoring George Floyd’s life with real systemic change and addressing the unconstitutional policing that has harmed Black and Brown communities for decades at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department. For the Trump Administration to dismiss this decree during the anniversary week of George Floyd’s murder is cynical. It sends a chilling message that police violence can be swept under the rug and that federal oversight is expendable when political winds shift.

    “Despite this disappointing decision, I’m encouraged that Minneapolis city leaders have publicly stated their intent to implement the crucial reforms in the Consent Decree. Their commitment to reform is critical for the sake of police accountability but it does not absolve the federal government of its responsibility. Real change requires partnership and transparency at every level of government and the DOJ turning its back on this process undermines that trust we are working to rebuild.

    “I stand with our community, with the Floyd family, and with everyone fighting for a world where an innocent man’s life cannot be taken without consequence.”

  • MIL-OSI Video: International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers – Press Conference | United Nations

    Source: United Nations (Video News)

    On the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers, marked today (29 May) Peacekeeping Chief Jean-Pierre Lacroix said, “we are committed to maximising our own cost effectiveness,” but at the same time, he said “it is imperative that peacekeeping should be provided with the resources that are needed to deliver on the mandate.”

    Speaking to reporters in New York, Lacroix said the 2025 UN Peacekeeping Ministerial in Berlin brought together “more than 150 delegations,” 60 of them at ministerial level.

    He said there “many expressions of support,” as well as “many pledges that were made to support peacekeeping.”

    The main takeaway, Peacekeeping Chief was that “peacekeeping remains very strongly supported by Member States.”

    He said, “we have a great amount of work to do to operationalise all the commitments and also to continue with the many bodies of work that we’re currently working on in different areas, such as safety and security of peacekeepers; performance; conduct and discipline; relation with the host government; how to introduce and make the best possible use of digital technology in peacekeeping and so many other bodies of work.”

    Lacroix said, “Member States requested a broad review of all peace operations at the Summit for the Future last September. And we’re currently working on this with our sister department, the Department of Peacebuilding and Political Affairs. And, of course, we are working to operationalise UN80 initiatives, the Secretary-General initiative, within the peace and security pillar.”

    Faced with financial constraints, he said, “peacekeeping is constant adapting” and “looking for innovative ways to deliver while remaining both an effective and really a low cost option compared to many other multinational deployments.”

    Lacroix stressed that “we are committed to maximising our own cost effectiveness, but at the same time, we want to insist that it is imperative that peacekeeping should be provided with the resources that are needed to deliver on the mandate.”

    Responding to a reporter’s question on the matter, he said, “I think it’s clear that most of our top financial contributors have constraints in terms of their public finances. Now, of course, we expect all of them to pay what they have to pay on time and in full, but at the same time, we live in a real world, and we know what those constraints are. So, we want to have a very productive dialogue with them, in addition of course to making sure that as far as we’re concerned, we work on cost effectiveness.”

    Later in the day, Secretary-General António Guterres laid a wreath to honour the more than 4,400 United Nations peacekeepers who have lost their lives in the line of duty since 1948.

    During an awards ceremony at the ECPOSOC Chamber, Guterres said, “over the decades, more than 2 million women and men have served in 72 UN missions across four continents. And I’m deeply grateful to all Member States for these invaluable contributions. In the communities and countries in which they serve, UN peacekeepers are an important symbol of the United Nations at its best. And together, they’ve helped improve millions of lives, protecting people, preserving peace and providing hope, rebuilding infrastructures, repairing institutions, and ensuring life-saving assistance. With their support, nations around the world have made the transition from war to peace.”

    The Secretary-General presented awards to the Military Gender Advocate of the Year, Squadron Leader Sharon Mwinsote Syme of Ghana and the UN Woman Police Officer of the Year, Superintendent Zainab Gbla of Sierra Leone. Both of them serve with our peacekeeping mission in Abyei.

  • MIL-OSI China: 8 injured in Colorado ‘targeted terror attack’

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    Eight people were injured Sunday in “a targeted terror attack” in Boulder, Colorado, authorities said.

    The suspect was identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman, said Mark Michalek, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Denver office, on Sunday evening at a news conference.

    Boulder police confirmed Sunday night that eight people, namely four women and four men, were injured in the attack. Officials initially told news outlets that six victims had been taken to hospitals.

    The 45-year-old suspect was allegedly heard yelling “Free Palestine” while using a “makeshift flamethrower” during the attack. He was also reportedly heard yelling “They are killers” and “How many children you killed.”

    Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said at a news conference that Boulder dispatch received several calls reporting an incident at the county courthouse in downtown Boulder at approximately 1:26 p.m. local time (1926 GMT).

    Police officers found several victims suffering from burns and other injuries upon arriving at the scene.

    An organizer with Run For Their Lives, a group that holds weekly walks to raise awareness about Israeli hostages held in Gaza — told local television station KUSA that a man was waiting with bottles when they arrived at the historic courthouse near 13th and Pearl Streets.

    The suspect threw the bottles, burning multiple people, including a woman who was severely injured and had to roll on the ground to extinguish the flames, according to the report.

    One of the victims is a Holocaust survivor, said the report.

    In a social media post, FBI Director Kash Patel said, “We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado.”

    White House deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security advisor Stephen Miller said in a social media post that the terror attack was committed by “an illegal alien.”

    Fox News reported that Soliman is an Egyptian national who overstayed his visa after entering the United States, citing Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement sources.

    CNN reported authorities are working to determine whether the suspect may have suffered mental health issues.

    “He’s shirtless, screaming, used rudimentary (explosive) devices, and stuck around to be arrested,” a source told CNN.

    Colorado Governor Jared Polis condemned the attack as a “heinous and targeted act on the Jewish community” in a statement.

    “Hate is unacceptable in our Colorado for all, and I condemn this act of terror. The suspect should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” he added.

    PHILADELPHIA, PA – Today, Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02) joined the Temple University and New Castle County Police Departments to announce the arrest of a burglary suspect who was wanted by authorities in PA, NJ, and DE.

    This arrest was made possible by Congressman Boyle’s community project funding for the Temple University Police Department, which enabled the deployment of Flock license plate reading cameras. Boyle was joined at the press conference by Jennifer Griffin, Chief of Police and Vice President for Public Safety at Temple University, and Richard Chambers, Master Corporal and PIO at the New Castle County Police Department.

    “Not been too long before we had tragically lost Temple Police University Officer Christopher Fitzgerald,” said Congressman Boyle. “And so I wanted to secure funds that would help the public safety effort in and around Temple University. To see the fruits of that labor actually lead to an arrest is incredibly exciting.  I thank again everyone who was involved in public safety in and around Temple University, and I thank all of the officers behind me. It’s never lost on me just what an enormously difficult job each and every one of you have in terms of keeping us safe.”

    “I am very proud of our diligent police officers and detectives who made this arrest happen quickly,” said Jennifer Griffin, Chief of Police and Vice President for Public Safety at Temple University. “Temple’s license plate reading cameras were purchased through a grant that was secured by Congressman Brennan Boyle. We are so grateful and thankful for his continued support to make Philadelphia safer.”

    “Detective Arnold from the Newcastle County Police was able to obtain a possible vehicle description,” said Richard Chambers, Master Corporal and PIO at the New Castle County Police Department. “Using the cameras, Detective Arnold quickly contacted the Temple University Police Department, and the Temple University Police Department quickly located the vehicle with the suspect in it.

    Temple University was the first university in Pennsylvania to deploy the Flock license plate reader system. The system was used to locate a suspect wanted by the New Castle County Police Department for burglary and theft. New Castle County Police worked with the Temple University Police Department to quickly arrest him on Temple’s campus.  He was extradited to Delaware, where he pled guilty to one felony and one misdemeanor charge.

    Investigators have released an e-fit of a man who sexually assaulted two women in Islington earlier this year.

    The assaults occurred within 15 minutes of each other on Sunday, 9 March.

    Around 20:40hrs that day, a woman in her 20s reported being followed by a man down Cruikshank Street in Islington. The man sexually assaulted her, before walking away towards Great Percy Street.

    Around the same time, another woman – also in her 20s – was walking along Britannia Street, Islington, when she was approached from behind by a man. He sexually assaulted her, then ran off down Wicklow Street.

    The suspect is described as skinny, wearing a light-coloured t-shirt, dark bomber jacket, and a dark baseball cap. He appeared to be aged in his 30s.

    No arrest has been made at this stage, though investigators are treating the two incidents as linked. They are appealing to anybody who believes they saw a man matching the e-fit on Sunday, 9 March to come forward.

    Anybody who witnessed either of the assaults – or who has potentially relevant information – should contact 101, quoting investigation reference 01/7265403/25.

    large-scale humanitarian and disaster relief operation is underway across the Northeastern states of India as incessant rainfall has triggered severe flooding in several regions. The Indian Air Force, Central Armed Police Forces, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), and state authorities have launched coordinated rescue and relief efforts to assist those stranded.

    Union Minister Kiren Rijiju confirmed the launch of the mission on Monday, calling it a critical intervention to manage the unfolding crisis. “A critical humanitarian assistance and disaster relief mission is being launched by the Indian Air Force, Central Armed Forces, NDRF and State Government Forces in North East India,” Rijiju said in a post on X.

    In Manipur, the Indian Army and Assam Rifles have intensified their efforts under Operation Jal Rahat-2, rescuing over 500 civilians from flood-hit areas in Imphal East and West. The affected zones include Wangkhei, Heingang, Lamlong, Khurai, JNIMS, and Ahallup.

    Ten flood relief columns, equipped with BAUTs (Boat Assault Universal Type) and inflatable boats, have been deployed. Army personnel also undertook emergency repair work on a breached section of the Iril River boundary wall near Arapti Lamkhai in Lilong, Thoubal district, in a bid to prevent further flooding.

    “Army boats ferried stranded patients to safety at JNIMS Hospital. Nearly 800 bottles of drinking water and other essential supplies were distributed to displaced families across affected areas,” the Indian Army said in a statement.

    Operations are being carried out in close coordination with civil authorities to ensure timely aid and continuous support for the affected population.

    Meanwhile, in Sikkim’s Mangan district, restoration work continues after the Phidang Bailey Bridge, which connects Mangan to Chungthang, was partially damaged by the swelling Teesta River. Authorities have restored the Chungthang-Phidang road, enabling the safe evacuation of stranded tourists.

    Search operations are still ongoing for nine tourists who went missing following a tragic vehicle accident in Mangan on May 29. The rescue efforts are being supervised by a joint task force comprising the District Police, District Administration, Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), Army, Border Roads Organisation (BRO), NDRF, General Reserve Engineer Force (GREF), Fire and Medical Teams, Tourism and Civil Aviation Department, and local stakeholders including the TAAS and Driver Association.
