As Mexican cartels expand their networks across North America, cross-border cooperation has become essential. This panel will bring Texas’ Operation Lone Star Task Force together with First Nations Chiefs and law-enforcement partners from Canada to share lessons from the front lines in Texas. Together, they will examine how intelligence coordination, real-time information sharing, and aligned operational strategies can disrupt transnational criminal activity on both sides of the border.

Complimentary lunch will be provided for in-person attendees, and you are also welcome to register for a livestream ticket and tune in online.
