Description
Ward 6 Councilwoman Meg Salyer discusses the role the Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism plays in helping law enforcement learn the signs of possible terrorist activity.
A
Hello,
I'm
meg
salyer
and
I'd
like
to
welcome
you
to
the
ward
6
council
show
I
have
with
me
here
today:
some
really
wonderful
friends
of
oklahoma
city,
david
sid,
who's,
the
executive
director
of
the
national,
the
instant
memorial
institute.
It's
got
a
great
name:
the
memorial
institute
for
prevention
of
terrorism.
B
A
C
A
B
Well,
I
was
in
the
fbi
for
20
years,
as
tim
mentioned,
and
I
came
here
on
a
routine
transfer,
but
I
came
here
after
visiting
here
during
an
inspection
and
being
impressed
with
the
friendliness
of
the
people
and
the
genuine
affection
people
built
for
one
another
quickly
that
impressed
me
and
when
I
was
looking
for
a
permanent
place
to
stay
oklahoma
city
was
first
on
my
list.
I
came
here.
B
Retired
from
the
fbi
ran
a
consulting
practice
for
about
five
years
and
then
joined
the
memorial,
and
let
me
say
that
tamara
was
very
kind
in
her
comments
about
me,
but
were
it
not
for
tamara?
The
the
institute
would
not
be
there
today
because
we
went
through
some
difficult
times,
we're
all
right
now,
but
during
those
difficult
times
she
was
there
and
essential.
Well,.
A
I
think
it's
really
important
for
our
viewers
to
understand
that
the
institute,
to
my
mind
at
least,
is
the
third
really
important
piece
of
the
full
memorial
and
everybody,
I
think,
is
familiar
with
the
outside
piece
of
it
with
the
beautiful
168
chairs
and
the
reflecting
pool
and
those
significant
gates.
We
also
have
the
interpretive
piece
inside
where
you
can
really
walk
through
and
almost
re-experience
what
happened
at
902
on
april
19th.
A
But
then
the
institute
provides
a
really
solid
foundation
for
learning
from
that
experience.
That,
I
think,
was
the
intent
and
taking
it
forward,
and
so
first
maybe
you
could
tell
us
what
you
actually
do
today
and
then
perhaps
we
could
talk
about
some
real
world
stories
of
how
we're
seeing
this
training
applied
all
across
the
nation.
B
Tamara
can
tell
us
some
a
good
story
when
we
were
told
to
become
a
training
center.
We
thought
that
that
training
police
officers
was
the
closest
to
the
original
mandate.
We'd
ever
been
given,
and
we
had
ever.
We
had
ever
been,
and
so
he
designed
a
police
training
program
that
focuses
on
the
line
officer
of
which
there
are
eight
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
to
make
them
better
observers
and
documentarians,
as
we
call
them
of
suspicious
activity.
B
B
Everyone
from
the
new
york
city
police
department,
to
los
angeles,
county
sheriff's
office
and
300,
more
departments
nationwide
have
taken
it
and
the
department
of
homeland
security
recognized
our
program
as
one
of
excellence
and
gave
us
a
contract
that,
I
think,
will
give
us
iterative
funding
for
three
years.
Excellent
and.
C
On
patrol
perfect
and
the
whole
idea
behind
it
is,
I
mean,
cops
are
and,
as
mr
sid
would
say,
this
all
the
time
they
are
the
perfect
individuals.
We
expect
them
automatically
to
be
looking
for
those
warnings
and
behaviors
and
indicators
of
terrorism
and
or
other
criminal
activity,
but
they
are
the
ones
who
have
the
mandate.
We
all
know
they're
going
to
be
out
there
24
hours,
seven
days
a
week
looking
for
things.
So,
let's
have
them
add
one
more
thing
to
their
list
of
things
to
look
for,
but
really
it's
not
adding
anything.
C
These
are
just
things
that
they
would
normally
be
doing,
engaging
with
the
community
and,
of
course,
so
many
of
our
law
enforcement
across
the
nation
that
we're
seeing
are
dealing
with
resource
issues.
I
mean
there's
funding
issues
at
every
level,
but
this
is
something
that
everyone
seems
to
really
be
able
to
put
their
arms
around,
because
it
gets
back
to
making
those
officers
that
are
on
the
street
better
at
what
they're
doing
it's
improving
the
skills
that
they
already
have.
A
In
its
most
simplistic
form,
when
I
had
a
chance
to
come
visit,
your
beautiful
facility
and
the
offices
are
just
wonderful
and
great
training
space
that
I
hope
others
in
the
community
get
a
chance
to
visit.
At
some
point.
It
struck
me
that
we're
talking
a
lot
about
that
concept
of
community
policing
again
and
not
just
routinely
being
out
on
the
street,
but
really
getting
to
know
the
people
in
your
community
and
then
because
of
that
knowledge,
identify
things
that
might
be
out
of
place
and.
C
There's
plenty
of
studies
out
there
too
and
correct
me
where
I,
where
I
missed
step
david,
but
that
show
that
it's
not
just
the
big
programs
that
we
have
in
place.
It
is
the
officer
on
the
street
and
it
is
the
people
out
here.
Are
civilians
people
who
live
in
our
communities?
Who
are
the
ones
making
the
difference?
They're
the
ones
spotting
the
activity
that
is
suspicious
and
therefore
leads
to
other
kind
of
investigations.
But
you
know
that's
really.
C
A
B
Be
happy
to,
in
fact
it
was
a
remarkable
day
because
everyone
was
focused
on
oklahoma
city
and
and
charlie
hanger,
who
was
a
trooper
at
the
time,
and
I
was
the
noble
county
sheriff,
was
on
his
way
to
oklahoma
city
like
every
other
police
officer,
when
he
was
told
to
turn
around
and
go
back
and
resume
patrol,
it
must
have
taken
an
immense
amount
of
personal
control,
integrity
and
unwavering
standards
to
go
back
into
that
routine
job.
Knowing
what
was
going
on
in
oklahoma
city.
Not
only
did
he
do
that,
but
he
was
alert.
B
D
The
reason
I've
stopped
you
is
that
you
don't
have
a
tag
on
the
rear
bumper.
He
immediately
looks
to
the
rear,
bumper
and
quickly
looks
back
at
me
and
responds.
Oh,
I
know
I
didn't
have
a
tag.
I've
recently
bought
this
car
and
just
haven't
had
time
to
get
one,
and
so
I
said:
well,
you
have
a
bill
of
sale,
the
other
guy
bought
it
from
still
filling
it
out.
I
said:
well,
how
long
does
it
take
to
fill
out
a
bill
of
sale?
I
don't
have
one
I
said:
do
you
have
proof
of
insurance?
D
No,
so
I'm
beginning
to
think
stolen
car,
even
though
it's
on
a
junky
old
old
car,
I'm
thinking
this,
this
guy
probably
stole
this
car.
I
said:
do
you
have
driver's
license?
He
said
yes,
he's
wearing
a
military
style
boots,
dark
jeans,
a
light
windbreaker
jacket,
that's
blue
about
like
what
a
postal
worker
would
wear
he's
a
clean
cut.
D
Looking
guy
got
a
military
style
haircut
short
and
he
his
jacket
is
slightly
zipped
at
the
bottom,
so
that
it
won't
open
up
or
the
wind
doesn't
won't
blow
it
back
and
when
he
goes
to
his
right,
rear
pocket
to
retrieve
his
billfold.
It
tightens
that
jacket
up
and
I
see
a
bulge
under
his
left
arm.
That
appeared
to
be
a
weapon.
D
I
think
this
is
my
personal
opinion
that
so
many
times,
and
it's
so
easy
to
do
after
making
stop
after
stop
after
stop
or
arrest
or
arrest
at
rest,
whether
you're
arresting
people
on
warrants
or
traffic
stops.
Is
that
so
many
normal
things
have
happened
that
it's
easy
for
us
myself.
I've
colluded.
I've
done
it
to
be
complacent.
B
A
A
C
Well,
for
us
I
mean
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
where
we
are
located,
we're
in
the
journal
record,
building
just
sitting
right
next
to
the
outside
memorial
facility
itself.
So
our
windows
actually
overlook
the
survivor
tree.
They
overlook
the
chairs,
they
overlook
the
beautiful,
reflecting
pool
and
we
bring
in
our
trainers,
which
we
do
once
twice
a
month
from
various
places
around
the
nation.
C
One
of
the
things
we
make
sure
that
we
do
is
take
them
through
the
museum
and
let
them
have
an
experience
outside
on
the
grounds
itself
and
we
have
had
people
who
again
police
officers
17
years
later.
Everyone
has
usually
heard
about
it
unless
you
get
some
real
baby
police
officers
in
there,
but
for
the
most
part
they've
all
heard
about
it
and
they
come
in
with
a
bit
of
a
hardened
attitude,
I
think,
would
be
the
best
way
to
describe
it.
David
kind
of.
B
C
I
don't,
I
don't
need
to
go
through
another
museum,
I'm
here
to
train
we
let
them
go
through
the
museum.
We
ask
them
to
go
through
the
museum
and
they
all
come
back.
Yeah.
In
fact,
one
officer
from
los
angeles
county
who
came
through,
I
mean
he
got
on
the
phone
and
started
calling
his
bosses
and
said
we
can't
let
this
happen.
We
can't
let
this
happen
in
our
city.
So
it's
that
constant
reminder
the
power
of
place
that
it
can
happen
anywhere
and
it
probably
will
happen
again
somewhere
well.
A
I
think
it's
incredibly
important
for
the
institute
as
well
as
it
is
for
the
memorial
itself
to
continue
to
reach
out.
As
you
just
mentioned,
we've
got
a
generation
of
young
people
that
weren't
born
when
this
tragedy
occurred
and
so
how
we
continue
to
keep
the
importance
of
the
message,
not
the
act
of
terror,
but
the
message
of
hope
and
strength
and
all
those
things
that
we
hope
to
be
able
to
convey-
and
I
think
you
know,
there's
so
much
relevance
today.
A
B
Certainly,
it
was
interesting
because
we
had
in
new
york
very
sophisticated
undercover
operation
where
an
fbi
informant
gets
involved
with
someone
who
wants
to
blow
up
the
federal
reserve
building
and,
of
course,
the
fbi,
arrests
them.
On
the
far
end
of
the
other
spectrum,
we
have
motel
workers
who
see
something
suspicious
in
the
trash
and
alert
authorities,
and
they
find
50
molotov
cocktails
in
the
duffel
bag.
B
B
People
are
aware,
they're
calling
police
when
they
see
something
they
say
something
and,
of
course
the
fbi
has
always
been
quite
good
at
undercover
operations
and
they'll
continue
to
do
so.
Our
security
is,
is
multifaceted
and
no
one
part
of
it
is
going
to
be
the
answer.
But
when
you
put
all
these
things
together,
we
make
a
very
hostile
operational
environment
for
the
bad
person,
and
that
seems
to
be
working.
A
Fantastic,
it's!
It
really
is
interesting
to
see
the
impact
and-
and
it
is
impactful
to
use
that
word
twice
to
see
what
we've
been
able
to
create
here
in
oklahoma
city
and
how
we've
been
able
to
translate
it
to
very
important
missions.
You
know
across
our
country-
and
I
I
know
I
sleep
better
knowing
that
you're
all
here,
and
I
think
you
know
in
this
world
of
frightening
things
happening
around
us
and
we
can't
prove
a
negative
all
the
time
we
can't
know
what
we
have
stopped.
A
Generally
speaking,
unless,
as
in
the
case
of
new
york,
the
plot
comes
to
comes
to
light.
But
I
thank
you
both
for
the
work
that
you're
doing
here
in
oklahoma
city
to
help
keep
our
country
safe
to
help
train
our
officers,
and
it's
just
really
wonderful
to
know
that
on
that
beautiful
location,
you
know
we're
doing
such
great
work.
