Governor Brian Sandoval announced July 10th that he has appointed Caleb Cage as the Governor’s Homeland Security Advisor. Cage will manage the Office of Homeland Security which serves as the State’s single point of contact with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security relative to sharing of sensitive information and intelligence. Cage has also been appointed by Department of Public Safety Director Jim Wright to serve as the Chief of the Division of Emergency Management. Cage will serve as the primary point of contact to federal, state, and local jurisdictions relative to intelligence sharing and critical infrastructure protection measures and programs, cyber security, and citizen preparedness initiatives.
