New York City’s economic and symbolic importance to the United States make it a top target for terrorist networks worldwide. Prior to 9/11, the city was not adequately prepared to both defend and respond to an attack of such a great magnitude. By improving communication with federal agencies and understanding the role local law enforcement agencies play in the fight against modern day terrorists, New York City has developed the premier law enforcement unit in the country. With assistance from the federal government, the NYPD’s counterterrorism units have successfully protected the city and proved their capabilities in securing large scale events such as the Super Bowl and the 2014 United Nations General Assembly. “As the threats change …show more content…

The IBPG will establish a solid foundation to the Bureau’s practices, but also will remain open to changes. The evolving nature of terrorists and their associated threats will require the IBPD to be updated and changed overtime. Furthermore, the guidelines outlined in the IBPG will be taught to all NYPD officers to enhance their ability to respond and understand the threats associated with terrorism (NYPD, 2016). Far too many state and local police departments throughout the country neglect the role they play in combatting terrorism. By teaching their personnel to be both police officers and counterterrorism officers, the NYPD is improving their ability to identify and address terrorist related …show more content…

The NYPD installed a network of cameras, license plate readers, and radiological/chemical sensors throughout Manhattan in what became known as the Lower Manhattan Security Initiative’s (LMSI). The LMSI is “one of the most extensive IT security networks in the world” and will continue to be expanded in both its capabilities and range overtime (NYPD, 2016). By expanding the network, officers have a better perspective of locations and can use the system as an investigative tool. Also, the department recently installed the Domain Awareness, System (DAS) which “merges the various outputs of the LMSI into one easily accessible dashboard” (NYPD, 2016). The DAS allows counterterrorism units to access the cameras and sensors throughout the city and the ability to search the NYPD Crime Data Warehouse online (NYPD, 2016). NYPD recently issues 35,000 smartphone to its officers. Each phone had access to the DAS system, so in the event of a terrorist attack or threat, the officer will immediately be made aware of the situation. In doing so, the department is “making every police officer part of the counterterrorism program” (NYPD,

Aggressive police culture will not change unless officers hold their colleagues accountable. It is important to check in with one another, to recognize the humanity within us. It is okay to become jaded sometimes, but there must be an awareness of how we treat one another, our motives, and particularly an officer’s duty to protect all American citizens. In addition to officers allowing other officers too much discretion, there needs to be a change in the amount of discretion given to police departments as a whole. The political climate of today’s tension has shifted public trust in the police.

In accordance with the 2014 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, the terrorist threat is one of the prevailing challenges that pose a significant risk level to the United States as well as to American citizens abroad and many U.S. allies (Department of Homeland Security, 2014). In the United States, the Federal Government assumes the responsibility for leading the efforts that seek to manage the risk level of the terrorist threat. That is why the Federal Government has created the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), whose main mission is to prevent terrorist threats by managing their risk levels (DHS, 2014). Since the terrorist threat is a very complex threat to manage for one entity or agency alone, the DHS is able to accomplish its main mission by working in partnerships with many federal agencies; State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLLTT) Governments; private and public organizations; international partners; and communities all across the United States (DHS, 2014). In all of those partnerships, the Federal Government through the DHS plays a leadership role

According to Loop (2016), today the New York Police Department is reinventing the way cops and community, public and private entities, all work as one team to fight crime even more effectively and, ultimately, to prevent crime from happening in the first place. The NYPD has a plan to activate a shared responsibility for a safe and fair New York. It is a plan to continue the success against crime, to bridge the gap between police and minority communities, and to rebuild police morale. We are at a pivotal moment in New York’s history. We have the need, motivation, and opportunity to imagine a city where cops are not just policing in New York’s communities but with the residents in each of those communities whose involvement is the yet untapped force we need to
