The Bureau of Security and Investigative Service Advisory (BSIS) Committee has been meeting at least twice a year.   The Advisory Committee is made up of members representing the seven Industries regulated by the Bureau, Law Enforcement Agencies and Public Members. The Advisory Committee was developed as a channel of communication between these entities. The meetings are held through out California in order to offer a wider accessibility to all interested parties. This year’s first Advisory Committee meeting was held on April 22, 2009 in Sacramento. The Advisory Committee members discussed issues related to their particular Industry/ Agency which included unlicensed activity enforcement, outreach/education and new proposed legislation. BSIS Acting Chief provided updates on the Bureau activities and goals.

The minutes from the Advisory Committee will be available in late May. All Advisory Committee Meeting minutes are located on the Bureau’s website at www.bsis.ca.gov under “What’s New”.

The Bureau would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Committee Members for their continued participation as they are not compensated for their time or travel.
