Livonia (WWJ)  -- In Livonia, more than 200 local law enforcement officers are spending Thursday and Friday with Israeli experts, talking about how to handle terrorism and other public emergencies. 

It's first Michigan-Israeli conference of its kind.  Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox told WWJ's Ron Dewey that terrorism may not be getting the same attention as it did just after the 9/11 attacks, but it can't be ignored.

"We're clearly more attuned to the threats since 9/11 and we've done a whole lot more, but we can't tune it out.  We have to keep reminding ourselves the threat is ever-present and we have to be ever-vigilant," Cox said.

The two-day conference will also focus on response to natural disasters.
