About PSI:
Over a decade ago, law enforcement and private security leaders recognized the need for a strong partnership between the public safety and private security professions to maximize their ability to serve and protect the citizens, infrastructure and resources within our community. In furtherance of that ideal, PSI Tampa Bay formed to provide that coalition of interested parties to explore current challenges, exchange intelligence, and create effective solutions for the entire community.

Based on the principle of collective leadership to ensure sustainability and cultivate continuity, the primary mission of PSI Tampa Bay is to generate and support a dynamic, fluid and substantive communication and resource network among the participants. From scheduled meetings, to open forums and in- formation exchange systems, the opportunity to forge an enduring alliance for joint efforts and interests is the singular goal.

Major Perotti will discuss PSI and how the PI community can benefit from participation.
