The Louisville FBI has worked with community leaders in the Louisville/Jefferson County area to form the Louisville/Jefferson County Executive Response Group, informally known as "The Group."  The Group is comprised of local, state, and federal agencies and includes personnel from the emergency services, health services, law enforcement, National Guard, public utilities and transportation sectors of the community.  The Group meets monthly to develop and refine emergency plans for use in the event of attacks by individuals or terrorist groups.  The initiation of this crisis group has helped to foster cooperation among the many agencies involved and will ensure a much more efficient and effective response to any major incident in the area.
