A Look back at 2020

INLETS hosted one-day and three-day training programs prior to the national response to a global pandemic.  By late spring, INLETS developed and launched INLETS Online. The six-topic webinar series led by INLETS repertoire instructors welcomed 3,000 attendees and culminated with a livestream event that was called “TED Talks for Law Enforcement.”

INLETS Online Livestream: Attack on the USS Cole

Thank you for joining us on INLETS Online’s Livestream Event on October 30, 2020 for INLETS latest service.

October 12, 2000. Just before the New York Mets played the New York Yankees in the “Subway Series” World Series, the USS Cole – berthed in Yemen for refueling – was struck by a small boat laden with explosives shredding a 40’x60’ hole amidship in a terrorist attack.

Seventeen sailors would die.   Thirty-seven more would be injured.

During the month of the 20th anniversary, over 500 attendees watched INLETS’ special livestream event with Kirk Lippold, the Cole’s Commander, and Tom O’Connor who led the FBI Evidence Response Team, as they shared their story of that event.
