Boston Strong

Boston Marathon Explosions

We thank the first responders and law enforcement for your response in the Boston Marathon terror attacks.  Those lost and injured are in our thoughts and prayers.  Tragic events like this perpetrated in Boston do not weaken us as a nation; it brings our people together and strengthens our resolve for justice and the beliefs in a free society for all people.

The attacks in Boston confirm our need for security and collaboration within the private and public sectors.  InfraGard Boston supports local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and our local communities when needed.  Many of our members offered to volunteer their time to support local law enforcement.

InfraGard Boston donated food and drinks for law enforcement personnel working on this investigation.  We thank all our members for your support during this tragic event.

Congratulations on the apprehension of these terrorists.

 

Technical issues continue…

During the upgrade of the InfraGard National site (www.infragard.net), we have been unable to use our email services to contact our members.  InfraGard Boston is working on a backup email solution to provide communication while the national site is unavailable.

This outage has also delayed the registration of new members to our local Boston website.  If you’ve registered for membership on www.infragard-boston.org and have not yet been approved, please be patient.  All applicants must be confirmed, active InfraGard members to access our site.

We have many events and activities planned throughout 2013 and we look forward to seeing our members in the coming months.

 

Goals and Objectives

The goal of InfraGard is to promote ongoing dialogue and timely communication between members and the FBI. InfraGard members gain access to information that enables them to protect their assets and in turn give information to government that facilitates its responsibilities to prevent and address terrorism and other crimes.

The relationship supports information sharing at national and local levels and its objectives are as follows:

  • Increase the level of information and reporting between InfraGard members and the FBI on matters related to counterterrorism, cyber crime and other major crime programs.
  • Increase interaction and information sharing among InfraGard members and the FBI regarding threats to the critical infrastructures, vulnerabilities, and interdependencies.
  • Provide members value-added threat advisories, alerts, and warnings.
  • Promote effective liaison with local, state and federal agencies, to include the Department of Homeland Security.
  • Provide members a forum for education and training on counterterrorism, counterintelligence cyber crime and other matters relevant to informed reporting of potential crimes and attacks on the nation and U.S. interests.
