Department of
Environmental Protection, Division of Law Enforcement - Provided By
Florida DEP
"On September 28, 2009, the
Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) tested its Continuity
of Operations Plan (COOP) emergency notification system.
This test
was an ideal opportunity for the DEP Division of Law Enforcement to also
utilize the Law Enforcement Officer Simultaneous Notification System
(LEOSNS), created by GlobalCall Enterprises, International.
The DEP
Leadership Team members were asked by the Chief of Staff to contact all
employees under their purview by phone only and acknowledge that they were
able to make contact with all employees.
Director Henry Barnet of the
DEP Division of Law Enforcement, used LEOSNS to contact all bureau chiefs
with a message instructing them to make contact with their
employees.
All bureau chiefs received this message through LEOSNS,
and after contacting their employees, sent an acknowledgement back to
Director Barnet.
"LEOSNS is an easy tool to use, and will be a
valuable asset during times of emergencies or natural disasters by
minimizing the time it takes to notify and account for our staff of 200
law enforcement officers and personnel."

"In September 2008, the Florida Keys were threatened by
Hurricane "Ike".
At that time the forecast was for Ike to strike
the middle keys as a Category 4 storm, which would have been catastrophic
for the City of Key West.
During Hurricane Ike, the Key West Police
Department used your emergency notification system to contact and inform
ALL of its personnel, on multiple occasions, with real time
communications.
After the storm passed, the police department held
a debriefing session to evaluate our performance during it.
The
most resounding comment was regarding the law enforcement notification
system created by GlobalCall Enterprises,
International."
