Chaplain Ray Fairman has been keeping very busy of late and does not plan to be slowing down any time soon. Since returning from Northern Illinois University where he assisted with the recovery process following the tragedy that occurred there, he has been tasked with speaking at two local churches and the Georgia Club. He has also completed his LIDAR Certification Course and the required field training along with several other WPD officers.
Ray was asked to travel to Kentucky this summer and speak on leadership and its role in living a productive and beneficial life to the attendees of a law enforcement officers conference in Ft Mitchel and then to teach on ethics and character education curriculum development at an educators and child advocates conference in Lexington.

Recently Winterville Police Chief Mike Vizzini was a guest at an Atlanta area FBI Luncheon which was held on April 8, 2008. Chief Vizzini was able to discuss Homeland Security and other issues with several other attendees in an informal environment.
Among those Chief Vizzini exchanged were the Atlanta FBI Field Office’s Special Agent In Charge (SAIC) of the Counterterrorism Unit and the SAIC of the office’s InfraGard Unit.
InfraGard is a United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Public-private partnership that began in the Cleveland, Ohio, Field Office in 1996. It was a local effort to gain support from the information technology industry and academia for the FBI's investigative efforts in the cyber arena.
The program expanded to other FBI Field Offices, and in 1998 the FBI assigned national program responsibility for InfraGard to the former National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) directed by RADM James B. Plehal USNR and to the FBI's Cyber Division in 2003.
Since 2003, InfraGard Alliances and the FBI said that they have developed a TRUST-based public-private sector partnership to ensure reliability and integrity of information exchanged about various terrorism, intelligence, criminal, and security matters. It supports FBI priorities in the areas of counterterrorism, foreign counterintelligence, and cybercrime. |

On February 21st our police department's chaplain was requested to respond to the Northern Illinois University campus to support the students, faculty, staff, community and volunteers who were deeply impacted by the events that unfolded on February 14th, a Valentines Day that will long be remembered by those who live and attend school in DeKalb Illinois. On that fateful day, a former student at NIU walked into Cole Hall and began shooting at those attending a lecture. When the shooting stopped, five students were dead and many others suffered physical wounds. Classes were suspended and most students went home for a week, though most foreign students remained in the immediate area for financial reasons.
