20 Years After 911 San Diego Reflections | San Diego News

Twenty years after 9/11, San Diego law enforcement leaders gathered to reflect on how the attacks exposed critical failures in interagency cooperation—and how far they’ve come since. The coordinated assault by 19 militants killed nearly 3,000, forcing a national reckoning on security.
