Basis for Prevention, Intel & Deterrence This unit is based wholly on those performance objectives set by the Office of Domestic Preparedness for Prevention and Deterrence of terrorist criminal activities. As a WMD Performance – Offensive (Technician) you will be tasked with the ever increasing difficult need to partner with in a response and train lower level responders. This future need makes it imperative that you understand these guidelines and have the ability to convey them during pre-incident planning or during a response for deterrence of future attacks.

National Strategy for Homeland Security The strategic objectives of homeland security in order of priority are to: Prevent terrorist attacks within the United States; Reduce America’s vulnerability to terrorism, and Minimize the damage and recover from attacks that may occur Excerpt From ODP “Prevention & Deterrence” Guidelines The following was taken directly from the Office of Domestic Preparedness Prevention and Deterrence Guidelines. The preeminence of prevention as a component of Homeland Security is made clear in the opening statements of the Executive Summary, The National Strategy for Homeland Security: The strategic objectives of homeland security in order of priority are to: Prevent terrorist attacks within the United States; Reduce America’s vulnerability to terrorism, and Minimize the damage and recover from attacks that may occur Within the text of that document, the meaning is unambiguous. Even the definition of homeland security makes prevention an imperative: “Homeland security is a concerted national effort to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States, reduce America’s vulnerability to terrorism, and minimize the damage and recover from attacks that do occur.” Instructor Notes

Collaboration Guideline Jurisdictions should seek to improve the collaborations between and among public and private sector agencies to prevent WMD terrorism. This includes the recognition of a need for prevention, and preparation for a terrorist criminal event. Instructor Notes

Information Sharing Guideline Jurisdictions seeking to develop “Information Sharing” linkages to prevent WMD terrorism should: Enhance analytic capabilities for linking information on potential threats. Establish a framework for sharing information/intelligence and prevention strategies, particularly between Law Enforcement and other agencies Establish an information exchange network and directory for information sharing. Ensure a reliable capability to alert officials and emergency personnel of terrorism threats, with warnings initiated, received, and relayed to alert key decision makers and emergency personnel regardless of the threat or operational involvement, as well as a robust, redundant, timely system for sharing information with other agencies, organizations, and the public.

Risk Management Guidelines Jurisdictions considering “Risk Management” approaches to reduce vulnerability of targets and prevent WMD terrorism “Risk Management” was previously labeled “Target Hardening”. The broader description was selected to reflect the decision-making processes inherent in determining which assets to secure, the methods and resources used to address the security, and the cost-benefit calculus associated with those decisions. Instructor Notes

Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) Principles and methods are available to agencies and organizations for target hardening" enhancement of appropriate locations in the built environment. Instructor Notes

Threat Recognition Guideline Create a secure system to collect, screen, and store relevant information with investigative value Instructor Notes

Prevention Strategies Intervention Guidelines Jurisdictions seeking to improve “Intervention” to stop terrorists before they can execute a threat Instructor Notes

Broadening WMD Terrorism Prevention Guideline Broader WMD terrorism prevention strategies or approaches with national implications (described in National Strategy for Homeland Security) Instructor Notes
