May 20, 2006
Newark, NJ-- May
16, 2006 –The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in conjunction
with the Egyptian American Group (EAG) will sponsor a one-day youth leadership
event at
Giants Stadium in the Meadowlands on May 20, 2006 at 9:00 A.M. as part
of the EAG's 6th
Annual Egyptian American Group Day.
Displays and interactive demonstrations will be presented for those in
attendance. Among
them: The FBI Evidence Response Team (ERT) will have a display of their
equipment and
methods. The FBI Hazardous Material Team (HAZMAT) will provide a demonstration
of their
operational capabilities. Other interactive FBI presentations are planned
as well.
The FBI is the investigative arm of the U.S. Department of Justice. The
mission of the FBI is
to protect and defend the U.S. against terrorist and foreign intelligence
threats, to uphold the
Constitution, enforce the criminal laws of the U.S., and to provide leadership
and criminal justice
services to federal, state, municipal, and international agencies and partners.
The FBI also seeks to reach out to all members of the community in an
effort to enhance the
understanding of the FBI's role in protecting the United States and to
provide a method of
communication between the FBI and the public at large. In this effort,
the Newark FBI Field
Office, under the leadership of Special Agent in Charge Leslie G. Wiser,
Jr. has initiated what is
hoped to be the first of many such events allowing an opportunity for members
of the New
Jersey community to meet FBI Agents and staff in a positive, learning environment
for all in
attendance.
According to Ms. Suzanne
Loutfy, a representative of EAG: "One of
the primary goals of the
EAG is to build bridges of communication between the Arabic Community and
Law
Enforcement, in order to expand the horizons of both groups when it comes
to understanding the
differences between the various cultures that make up these United States.
The EAG seeks to
work together to reach a common goal of securing a safe and peaceful life
for every American
regardless of race, color, or religion."
