The Department of Homeland Security vs. Terrorists
After the September 11, 2001 attacks, the US government
established the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS). We have been
focusing on anti-terrorism efforts in this course but the DHS is
responsible for other areas related to homeland security.
In addition to the agencies of the DHS, there are other
organizations tasked with gathering intelligence and conducting
investigations.
Briefly describe the agencies that are responsible for:
Border security
Shoreline and waterway security
Intelligence gathering outside the United States
How do the efforts of these organizations help in protecting the
country against terrorism?
Why do you think it is difficult to form effective partnerships
between federal agencies and local law enforcement when it
comes to combating threats to homeland security? Are JTTFs
effective?
While we have been focusing on terrorism, there are other
threats to homeland security that must be addressed. Describe a
nonterrorism threat that the DHS or other agencies try to
prevent.
