Sheriff J. Al Cannon, Jr., County of Charleston, South Carolina Charleston County Sheriff’s Office Law Enforcement Center 3691 Leeds Avenue North Charleston, South Carolina 29405 Captain Roger Antonio Public Information Officer Office: (843) 554-2444 [email protected] PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release: March 12, 2018 Sheriff’s Office to Display Newest Helicopter (Charleston County, SC) On March 13, 2018 the Sheriff’s Office will unveil the newest addition to the Air Support Unit. Charleston County has recently purchased a 2012 Bell 407GX to replace the outdated 1970s Bell helicopter acquired through the 1033 military surplus program. This newer helicopter has increased passenger capacity, with the ability to accommodate seven occupants as opposed to the previous four-person capacity. The newer model utilizes a single- engine, four-blade rotor, which is more efficient than the previous two-blade model. It was purchased from the Bell Helicopter Company, and had previously been in use by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office in Florida. The final cost of the outfitted aircraft will be approximately 3.4 million dollars. This helicopter will be furnished with a newer model FLIR infrared imaging system, and a microwave down link system that allows real-time video streaming to ground personnel. This technology can be utilized by either the pilots or by rear passengers operating a rear control panel. In addition, pilots will employ a Churchill navigation system that provides street overlays of the surrounding area. The landing skids are equipped with flotation devices in the event of a water- based emergency landing. On March 13, 2018 at 5:15 p.m., the helicopter will land for County Council and media viewing at the parking lot of the Lonnie Hamilton III (Charleston County Public Services) building at 4045 Bridgeview Drive in North Charleston. ### .

PUBLIC SAFETY The Impact of Terrorism on State Law Enforcement By Chad Foster and Gary Cordner Traditionally, state-level law enforcement has represented about 10 percent of total police employment in the United States. In keeping with this employment level, state law enforcement has traditionally played an important, but relatively small role in the overall picture of policing America. The information collected for this project, however, indicates an expanding role for state law enforcement since 2001, partly due to new roles and responsibilities associated with homeland security, and partly because state police are filling gaps and vacuums created by shifts in federal law enforcement priorities. Thus, while it is true that all types of police agencies have been significantly affected post Sept. 11, it seems that state law enforcement agencies have been affected the most. In recent years, Arizona established the Arizona tablished in 1835.2 Most state agencies, however, are Counter Terrorism Information Center, a combined relatively new.

Defining Characteristics of the Brass Music of Anthony Plog and Their Application in Performance
DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BRASS MUSIC OF ANTHONY PLOG AND THEIR APPLICATION IN PERFORMANCE by Alexander Robert Cannon B.M., The University of Arizona, 2005 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2012 © Alexander Robert Cannon, 2012 Abstract This dissertation examines the defining characteristics in Anthony Plog’s brass music. Plog’s treatment of motive, delivery of musical expectation, and timbre creates music that is idiomatic for brass performers. While the information herein is intended to be informative for all brass musicians, Plog’s writing for the trumpet is particularly examined to illuminate the technical and artistic demands on trumpet players. Lauding the composer’s techniques, the dissertation may also be useful for composers interested in effective writing for brass musicians, especially in a chamber music setting. Myriad examples from Mr. Plog’s brass chamber repertoire demonstrate why his techniques yield outstanding compositions for brass. The cited works are Concerto No. 1 for Trumpet and Brass Ensemble (1988) for soloist and 16-member ensemble, Four Sketches (1990) for brass quintet, Postcards (1994) for solo trumpet, and Trio for Brass (1996) for flugelhorn, horn, and trombone. Commentary by Mr. Plog and noted trumpet performers of his works Nick Norton, Gabriele Cassone, Allan Dean, and David Hickman contribute to the understanding of the composer’s defining characteristics. With a refreshing approach to new music for brass, composer Tony Plog’s brass compositions are frequently programmed and have become staple works in the brass repertoire.
