topics. The HSI's goal in sponsoring this training is to have trained officers in jurisdictions along the
Interstate-5 corridor between Orange County and the border. The training does not create any
obligation to the HSI. Rather, it fosters voluntary inter-agency cooperation in the interest of border
protection and regional security.

All costs to attend the conference will be paid bythe Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) division of
the Department of Homeland Security.
