**************
The first project suggested to the Coalition members was the creation of an all Volunteer Homeland Reserve Unit (VHRU). This Volunteer group would consist of retired Law Enforcement Officers living in Las Vegas. The plan for the VHRU was drafted prior to the formation of this Coalition and was presented in January to the entire organizations/clubs participating who all agreed to support this effort. A letter was prepared for members outlining the Coalition, its goals and how this group would work together to form the Volunteer Homeland Reserve Unit (VHRU). An application to volunteer was prepared as well a second letter explaining the structure and how the VHRU would function. All the participating Coalition organizations/clubs mailed these letters and the form to their membership. Within three months the VHRU attracted 65 retired Volunteers from both Police and Federal agencies across the country that reside in Las Vegas. The response was better than expected and every day the number of Volunteers is increasing. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has accepted the concept after initial meetings with their representatives. A meeting of the Leadership Leaders and a general membership meeting of all the Volunteers has been scheduled. Any former Law Enforcement Officers wishing to participate as a Volunteer can open and complete the attached application. Click here to visit the VHRU Web site.

the World Trade Center Towers and the Pentagon has awakened this
country to the imminent threat of similar attacks in the future.
Law Enforcement agencies now realize they are not equipped to
respond to such horrific events and are trying to cope with the
shortages of manpower to utilize in a crisis situation.
