Reliant's Recent Participation in International Electronic Monitoring Conference

From October 5-7, 2010, I was honored to travel to France in order to participate in an excellent International Electronic Monitoring Conference sponsored by global electronic monitoring leader, Elmotech. With delegates representing 15 nations in attendance, I was invited to serve as a representative for the USA and to participate in several informative work-sessions. Interacting and networking with so many distinguished security and monitoring professionals from around the world was a distinct privilege and a professional experience that I will not soon forget.

At any given time, every nation employing electronic monitoring (not to mention its professional monitoring service providers) is faced with unique and substantial challenges - whether legislative, risk-management, or operational in nature. For me, it is clearer than ever that those of us who work in and represent this industry have much more in common than not - regardless of our country of origin. I left the conference revitalized and returned to the USA with a deep and renewed respect for my electronic monitoring colleagues in other parts of the world. Additionally, I have made a personal commitment to do considerably more to both learn from them - and share information with them - on a going forward basis.
