Conner Samuels, senior director of security operations investigations, policy and threat management at Time Warner Cable, and Sergeant Todd Powell of the Anne Arundel County Police Department’s Metal Theft Unit in Maryland, have recently been named to the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries’ (ISRI) Law Enforcement Advisory Council (LEAC).
The council is a select group of experienced law enforcement officers, prosecutors and security personnel with an understanding of the metals theft issue. Based on its expertise, LEAC advises ISRI on ways to assist law enforcement.
Most recently, ISRI and the LEAC began developing tools for prosecutors to assist with building a metals theft case. Last Month, LEAC member Fred Burmester introduced a draft prosecutor’s tool kit. It is currently being formatted and reviewed for future distribution in partnership with the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA).
