Dear Gov1 Subscriber,

In top news this week, President-elect Joe Biden appointed an advisory board Monday of top public-health experts to guide his transition team's COVID-19 planning. The unveiling of the names came as the first public act of the Biden-Harris transition.

We're also taking a look this week at the role technology can play in bolstering public safety, though community buy-in is key, write Lexipol's Rex Scism and Kerry Gallegos.
