Recommendation #1: Dedicate more focus on Intelligence-led Policing activities. There are several underlying issues why intelligence-led policing is not working the way it should. U.S. law enforcement agencies do not understand what intelligence is or how to manage it, agencies do not work well together in preventing and responding day-to-day crime and preventing terrorism, and lack of personnel and funding (U.S. Department of Justice, 2005, p. 3).

The FTO, al-Qa’ida will continue to be a threat to the US in conducting a terrorist plot in US soil. Al-Qa’ida has a strong ideology and objectives. It is also a well-resourced FTO in terms of personnel, leaders, and finance. Al-Qa’ida has potential to conduct another large-scale attack by placing multiple IEDs in critical parts of the ballpark and successively detonating those IEDs to maximize casualties. However, with the right intelligence, this terrorist plot may be prevented. HUMINT, SIGINT, and OSINT data collection programs will be ideal to prevent this domestic terrorist event. With some involvement of ODNI and NRO, the DHS and the DOJ are the main IC members who will be collecting such data. The DHS’s CBP, TSA, ICE, and USCIS will be responsible in collecting data of potential terrorist member travel into the US. The DOJ’s FBI serves as both an intelligence and law enforcement agency as well as charge with dissecting any national and transnational networks that can potentially harm the US. It is recommended that the US needs to dedicate more focus on intelligence-led policing activities, better collaboration between the FBI, State and local law enforcement agencies, and Federal government needs to limit its congressional oversight activities in DHS. These three recommendations will not only maximize the country’s ability to secure the US and prevent domestic terrorist threats but it will also improve the overall unity of the
