Thursday, Sept. 22
7:30-9 a.m.

Additional:      
Bostic is a 34-year Los Angeles Police Department veteran and former deputy chief, as well as a graduate of the FBI's National Executive Institute and National Academy. He holds a bachelor's degree in police science from Cal State Long Beach and a master of public administration degree from USC.

Bostic will discuss the need for the public-safety sector to work together and engage with industry to help define the future of next-generation, "long-term evolution" technologies for civil communications. Police executives and IT professionals in public safety are demanding these new field capabilities, he notes. Many companies, including Raytheon, have begun development and research for broadband capabilities in public safety and are pushing forward with open architecture that will give public safety professionals a vast array of capabilities.
