Kerik to keynote ISC West

Dec 17, 2003 12:00 PM

On Sept. 11, 2001, Bernard B. Kerik was at the World Trade Center's twin towers within minutes after two planes collided into them.

Kerik's first-hand experience will be the focus of his keynote address at this year's ISC West opening day Industry Summit on Wed. March 31st at 9 a.m., at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas.

No stranger to adversity, Kerik was on the scene Sept. 11, and he worked with Mayor Rudy Giuliani to coordinate rescue efforts and ensure the city's safety.

Named senior policy advisor to the U.S. Presidential Envoy to Iraq and Iraq's Interim Minister of Interior, Kerik was tasked with rebuilding Iraq's police, fire, emergency services, customs and immigration, and border force -- the largest international reconstruction project of its kind.

As New York City's 40th police commissioner, he managed a $3.2 billion budget, led 55,000 employees, improved officer morale and reduced crime by 12 percent.
