Fresh off a weeklong trip to Israel, State Police Superintendent Col. Mike Edmonson said Monday he was impressed by that nation’s security measures and its meticulous attention to detail.
Edmonson and more than a dozen other law enforcement officials attended a conference hosted and funded by the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs last week. Edmonson said he was selected to attend in part because of his role on the governing body of the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
“I don’t know that anywhere else on earth could be protected the way they are protected over there,” Edmonson told more than two dozen people gathered at a Catholic Community Radio leadership luncheon. “There’s so much there, and if you don’t have someone there protecting it, believe me, there’s other people in this world that want to destroy it.”
