The purpose of this web portal is to promote:
"an awareness of the underworld activity in the arena of art"
Dirty business in an art world ridden with corruption, we a targeting artists and artworld habitues, who in many cases, don't relate well to street cops or detectives (which goes both ways; how many cops do you see at the gallery openings in Chelsea??), and will attempt to keep it creative and full of visual reference.
I frequently visit numerous websites that are dedicated to art crime, and feel, while suffice for law enforcement, most are very dry and don't provide any visual stimulation for professional artists.
While the main material will be regarding stolen art and illicit antiquities trade, all other areas of art crimes will be discussed, such as dealer fraud, fakes, forgeries, and vandalism, to name just a few. We will also be dedicating a section to forensic art, as well as artists sharing their feelings on street cops and law enforcement.
Please keep an eye on our "Roll Call" page, where updates on the NY Artworld, and art crimes will be made. Intelligent contributions to the roll call page can be made through the e-mail address on our "Call Box" page.

The use of the Internet by park law enforcement is very diverse, and can be used in the following ways:
- Exchanging information on procedures and technical matters, researching vehicles for purchase, the latest in equipment technology, investigative techniques, patrol schedules, gang activities in your area, electronic fingerprinting, etc. If the information is sensitive or classified, it can be encrypted to frustrate any "hackers".
- Exchanging information with the public can be very helpful. Missing persons reports, park watch activities, crime prevention, news releases, and wanted posters are things which can be "posted" on the Web.
- Some agencies maintain List servers which can automatically send you information on legislative changes, regulation and law changes, and legal updates.
Here is a short list of some well maintained sites of interest to park law enforcement:
- FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin http://www.fbi.gov/leb.htm
- The Central Intelligence Agency http://www.odci.gov/cia/
- The National Park Service http://woodstock.rmro.nps.gov/

Millions of 20th century visitors explore the ideas and challenges of the past - so remote in time but so important to how we think today - and who we will be in the 21st century - when they visit Independence National Historical Park.
The mission of the National Park Service is "...to promote and regulate the use of the...national parks...which purpose is to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations."
National Park Service Organic Act, 16 U.S.C.1.
On August 25, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the act creating the National Park Service, a new federal bureau in the Department of the Interior responsible for protecting the 40 national parks and monuments then in existence and those yet to be established. This "Organic Act" of August 25, 1916, states that "the Service thus established shall promote and regulate the use of Federal areas known as national parks, monuments and reservations . . . by such means and measures as conform to the fundamental purpose of the said parks, monuments and reservations, which purpose is to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations." The National Park Service still strives to meet those original goals, while filling many other roles as well: guardian of our diverse cultural and recreational resources; environmental advocate; world leader in the parks and preservation community; and pioneer in the drive to protect America's open space. The National Park System of the United States comprises 374 areas covering more than 83 million acres in 49 States, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan, and the Virgin Islands. These areas are of such national significance as to justify special recognition and protection in accordance with various acts of Congress. By Act of March 1, 1872, Congress established Yellowstone National Park in the Territories of Montana and Wyoming "as a public park or pleasuring ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people" and placed it "under exclusive control of the Secretary of the Interior." The founding of Yellowstone National Park began a worldwide national park movement. Today more than 100 nations contain some 1,200 national parks or equivalent preserves. In the years following the establishment of Yellowstone, the United States authorized additional national parks and monuments, most of them carved from the federal lands of the West. These, also, were administered by the Department of the Interior, while other monuments and natural and historical areas were administered as separate units by the War Department and the Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture. No single agency provided unified management of the varied federal parklands. An Executive Order in 1933 transferred 63 national monuments and military sites from the Forest Service and the War Department to the National Park Service. This action was a major step in the development of today's truly national system of parks-a system that includes areas of historical as well as scenic and scientific importance. Congress declared in the General Authorities Act of 1970 "that the National Park System, which began with the establishment of Yellowstone National Park in 1872, has since grown to include superlative natural, historic, and recreation areas in every region ... and that it is the purpose of this Act to include all such areas in the System...." Additions to the National Park System are now generally made through acts of Congress, and national parks can be created only through such acts. But the President has authority, under the Antiquities Act of 1906, to proclaim national monuments on lands already under federal jurisdiction. The Secretary of the Interior is usually asked by Congress for recommendations on proposed additions to the System. The Secretary is counseled by the National Park System Advisory Board, composed of private citizens, which advises on possible additions to the System and policies for its management.

The internationally acclaimed museum is one of the best places to experience the myriad cultures and art of Native Americans of the Southwest. The Heard's seven spacious exhibit galleries and beautiful outdoor bricked courtyards feature outstanding traditional and contemporary Native American art.
And the Heard Museum is undergoing a 50,000-square-foot Education Expansion that will nearly double its public spaces. During the expansion project, all the current galleries and public spaces will be open and unaffected by construction, since building is taking place to the north of the current structure. Parking is ample and conveniently located across from the museum's entrance.
Plan AHEAD automates the process of creating and evaluating exercises for emergency preparedness. Its been adopted by such diverse groups as oil refineries, local fire and police agencies and utility companies.
