COVID-19 Field Feature: Pivoting to a COVID-19 Response in the Greater Houston Region
From the Document: "The novel coronavirus pandemic has forced health and public safety agencies across the U.S. to rethink every aspect of their day-to-day operations--and even their most reliable strategies for crisis preparedness and response. In small towns and large metropolitan areas alike, those responsible for the safety and security of their communities have had to pivot quickly to address large outbreaks and enforce a variety of mitigation actions to help 'flatten the curve' of surging infections. [...] The City of Houston and its five surrounding counties are home to 6.8 million people, spread across more than 7,000 square miles. Our metropolitan area is one of the 10 largest economies in the U.S. Since the pandemic began, the Houston Mayor's Office of Public Safety and Homeland Security has worked in close partnership with numerous law enforcement, emergency management, fire, healthcare, and other agencies in the region, alongside the private-sector companies that own a large portion of our critical infrastructure and supply chains."

COVID-19 Field Feature: Keeping Montana Officers Trained During a Pandemic
From the Document: "With a population of just over one million inhabitants, served by approximately 2,500 state, local, and tribal law enforcement officers, Montana relies on one institution to train the vast majority of its peace officers: the Montana Law Enforcement Academy (MLEA). As news spread that police academies throughout the United States were shuttering and cancelling programs because of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019], MLEA's top-notch team improvised, adapted, and kept the academy fully operational. As Montana's governor began scaling back public services across the state in March 2020, a basic law enforcement class of 59 students was just a couple of weeks from graduation, and a new group of students was preparing to start shortly thereafter. Small, rural agencies were already short-handed and desperate to put officers on the street, and the larger agencies were still reeling from retirements and vacancies. Those factors combined with COVID-19 impacts made it the worst possible time for a disruption in MLEA training. Montana faced the prospect of significant long-term public safety consequences."

COVID-19 Field Feature: Historic Pact Between Neighboring Agencies Offers Aid During Global Pandemic
From the Document: "The COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic highlighted the critical importance of collaboration across agencies. As the chief of Riverside (Illinois) Police Department, I wanted to incorporate protocols for our small community to dispatch our police officers to assist other jurisdictions, and receive assistance, when needed during this unprecedented time. The original idea for a mutual aid pact between the Illinois villages of Riverside, McCook, Brookfield, and North Riverside was sparked by the fact that these communities already participate in a consolidated dispatch center--West Central Consolidated Communications (WC3). Since a common infrastructure was already in place, it made sense to leverage that arrangement for additional benefits. Under the proposed mutual aid pact, WC3 would pick from the officers on call to respond to any of the communities within the consolidated dispatch center and assist each other with 'all' calls for police service--not just those occurring within the geographic boundaries of discrete jurisdictions."
