Guam - Chief of the Guam Police Department Fred Bordallo and Homeland Security Advisor James McDonald recently attended the 2011 Aspen Security Forum in Colorado to learn about the latest homeland security issues the Obama Administration has planned to address and homeland defense challenges America faces. The two also got a commitment from Assistant Secretary of The Transportation Security Administration John Pistole to address any TSA issues Guam may have, as well as assurance from U.S. Border Patrol chief Michael Fisher indicating his readiness to assist the territory for any border protection issues.

The pair also heard from U.S. Homeland Security Director Robert Mocny his willingness to work with the issues of Guam's visa waiver initiative for China and Russia. They recommend to the Calvo Administration a Guam delegation be sent to the security forum next year to generate a larger network within homeland security, military security and law enforcement issues.
