A Rare Technical Glitch Underscores the Value of Live Participation and Ongoing Global Collaboration in PKTF Liaison Training
On the final Training Day of Series One for the 2025 Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) Liaison Training, we encountered an unexpected recording setback via Zoom. Despite PKTF’s growing international reach—garnering interest, participation, and collaborative support from nearly half of all U.S. states and several countries across at least three other continents, including Terra Australis, South Africa, Spain, and nations in North America such as Canada, Mexico, and Costa Rica—technical issues can still arise.
As the session began, we attempted to record using two separate methods: one to the cloud from one terminal, and another to a PC from a distant terminal, both sharing host capabilities.
This redundancy strategy was implemented to overcome two prior Zoom-related recording failures. Unfortunately, neither method succeeded after a terminal reboot and a seamless meeting resumption. As a result, the May 24th Liaison Training Day recording was lost, though we do have a transcript and are working to make that available for those who wish to review the session.
This rare occurrence highlights the value of attending live, especially for Liaisons in Training. PKTF Liaisons are vital links, engaging with their State Assembly, General Assembly, and Assembly Militia, fostering open communication and approachability with the Federation, State Border Defense, and all levels of law enforcement. Understanding the nuances between county-wide jurisdiction—typically the domain of sheriffs and deputies—and the more localized, district-based boundaries of city police is essential. While both serve and protect, their operational mandates and areas of authority differ. PKTF Assembly Liaisons are trained to navigate these distinctions, ensuring respect for all jurisdictions and promoting lawful, peaceful cooperation.
