“It doesn’t do us any good to have the capability to talk to one another if we don’t speak the same language and we don’t understand what we are saying when we do,” said Bob Moseley, technical adviser at the Justice Department’s National Institute of Justice. “We’ve got to get together and talk among each other and share ideas and concepts and only then will we be able to play together when it becomes real.”
