Role of Analysis in the Crime Prevention of Homeland Security Security Services

Terrorism A difficult concept to explain Does not include acts of violence in which the terror component is incidental or secondary to some other primary objective Is a psychological weapon that is aimed at its immediate victim and also a wider audience; it has the goal of creating a behavior change in that audience Includes creative tactics without boundaries

Threat Assessment Assessment of whether a potential terrorist act will happen, where it will happen, and expected damages and injuries if it does happen A developing field pioneered by the US Department of the Treasury’s US Secret Service Commonly used in counterterrorism Involves the investigation and analysis of the situations and the individuals that may pose threats to the public

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Established in January, 2003 Organized to protect the country from terrorist acts and to minimize the damage of a terrorist attack or natural disaster Absorbed many different law enforcement resources and organizations The first federal department with homeland security as its primary objective Created by The Homeland Security ACT (HLS) that was passed in 2002 as a direct result of the terrorist acts of 9/11/01 Works through partnerships with state, local, and tribal governments, and the private sector, to ensure the highest level of protection and preparedness for the country and the citizens it serves

Private Security The private security individual’s role as a first responder More limited than the role of the first police officer or other public authority on the scene Protect people and property until the police or public authority arrives on the scene The first responders to the 9/11/01 terrorist attack in New York City were private security employees; at least thirty-five of them died that day There is a need for law enforcement agencies to build formal partnerships with private security organizations

Partnerships Private Security/Public Policing Partnerships policy paper Created in 2004 by the US Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), in partnership with the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and a broad-based group of private-sector/law enforcement professionals A comprehensive policy paper that outlines a national strategy to establish partnerships between private security and public law enforcement agencies to create action plans for responding to terrorism

Partnerships Public–private cooperation – relationships between law enforcement and private security Many studies see a need for law enforcement/private security partnerships These fields have much to offer each other but often lack confidence in one another These partnerships take many forms and occur at many levels (i.e. informal, ad-hoc collaboration, formal partnerships, or contractual agreements)

Partnerships Obstacles of partnerships include Private security agencies feel that they do not always receive timely information from law enforcement Law enforcement agencies Concerned that private security organizations may not treat information as discreetly as needed Feel that private security individuals are not adequately trained Do not understand the functions of private security

Targets Terrorist attacks Occur with or without warning Often intended to cause Mass casualties Loss of critical resources Disruption of vital services Disruption of the economy Individual and mass panic Have a range of environmental and physical indicators (i.e. factors that are absent are as important as factors that are present)

Targets Terrorists Choose their targets to meet their goals (i.e. the food supply) Select “soft” or lightly protected targets over “hard” or very secure targets May also be drawn to major events such as parades or athletic events

Targets Some of the weapons available to some terrorist groups include Biological weapons Nuclear weapons Incendiary devices Chemical weapons Explosive devices

Lessons from the 9/11/01 Terrorist Attacks Crisis management To identify, acquire, and plan the use of resources needed to anticipate, prevent, and/or resolve a threat or an act of terrorism Predominantly a law enforcement response that is most often executed under federal law

Lessons from the 9/11/01 Terrorist Attacks Challenges of planning for disaster recovery Many individuals that hold key positions in private security also hold reserve positions with law enforcement, fire service, or the National Guard It is critical to anticipate victims’ reactions so that first responders can plan accordingly

Lessons from the 9/11/01 Terrorist Attacks The impact of natural disasters and terrorist attacks on victims is different, and care should be taken to treat victims accordingly Fear management comprises the programs that reduce the incidence of adverse psychological effects following a disaster

Lessons from the 9/11/01 Terrorist Attacks Natural disasters Many types follow regional and seasonal patterns (i.e. floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes) These patterns provide some degree of familiarity and predictability for community victims, emergency responders, and disaster relief workers

Lessons from the 9/11/01 Terrorist Attacks Are caused by deliberate human acts, that include sudden and unexpected threat, horror and destruction Affect innocent and unsuspecting people in the course of their daily routines Cause significant psychological issues There are usually more psychological victims than physical victims The death and destruction become reminders to many victims of their own vulnerability and inability to keep their loved ones safe

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Has the mission to Reduce loss of life and property and protect the nation from all hazards, including natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and other manmade disasters Lead and support the nation in a risk-based, comprehensive emergency management system of preparedness, protection, response, recovery, and mitigation

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Recommendations for emergency situations Local officials provide information to the public through the media Individuals in circumstances where they feel threatened or endangered need to leave their current location to avoid danger The amount of time to evacuate depends on the emergency; planning ahead (including gathering necessary supplies) is essential

Preparedness Issues (Individual/Business) Communication – plans should be in place to reassure, give instruction, and share information Leadership/management – needs to review its emergency planning and practice executing decisions before a crisis occurs Transportation – plans must account for the possibility that many individuals may be stranded after a disaster

Preparedness Issues (Individual/Business) Key dependencies – companies should understand their dependencies on key vendors Security – consists of threat assessment; individuals or companies must assess security measures
