“But we must work on improving security or more than that, we must stop this ‘us versus them’ mentality and collaborate more closely.

“When they are chased out of the north-west, where do you think they will come? Somewhere else. It is something we should all be concerned about; not only federal and state collaboration, but also across the country.
