Introduction The Joint Terrorism Task Forces and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Fusion Centers are two crucial intelligence-gathering programs in the United States. Both programs play a big role in preventing terrorist attacks and other criminal activities, such as drug and weapon smuggling. These agencies are responsible for collecting and analyzing intelligence information to identify potential terrorist threats and prevent attacks. Understanding the history and impact on the United States is essential to ensure effective law enforcement and national security measures. This paper will examine the history of the Joint Terrorism Task Forces and DHS Fusion Centers, the benefits of the programs, the impact of the programs on national security
The article “The Lessons of Civil Defense Federalism for the Homeland Security Era” by Patrick S. Roberts has a huge focus on civil defenders and how the Homeland Security has a role with them. The whole creation of the civil defense era was first established in the 1970s when World War II was happening. The civil defenders are mainly designed to help with safety procedures such as volunteering, working with both local and state organizations and having a role with both fire and flood safety to keep people safe from these emergencies. To add on this is that, the Civil Defenders plays an important part for natural disasters. The reason is that they were able to a lot for the Homeland Security so they can have the ability to be prepared and
He thinks there should be a distribution requirement for the students coming into the universities. It would be foolish to give students that kind of freedom. They don’t have enough knowledge to make the best decisions. I totally agree on his standpoint. As an Example I think Rutgers makes every student take the core curriculum which gives the students a broader range of varities to learn about different things in the world.
In 2002, Canada followed Homeland Security of United States and came up with an immigration plan. The bill was called “Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.” The focus of the bill was to stop people entering Canada and seeking asylum who will endanger the safety of the Canadians. The bill introduced strict law for people who will try to put the life of Canadians at risk. The law allowed immigration to remove people from the country who may pose a threat to the country.

Because of participation on many regional response teams the potential exists to have a large response area. Studying homeland security would assist not only our organization, but also aid with regional partners. Historically Waco has a history of not only recent, but also potential future homeland security events. Baylor University is the largest Baptist university in the United States, generating several threats against the school. Interstate 35 runs through the city carrying cargo along the “NAFTA” highway.
Department of Homeland Security: Gaps and Fixes The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had a colorful 14-year history. Many will say that the DHS has created a hulking bureaucracy and has placed or lumped together a great deal of departments that do not have any related functions. DHS currently suffers from a great deal of structural issues, but the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Transportation Safety Administration, and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement are in dire need of Presidential attention.

Teenagers need to know about the importance of mental health but health class barely spends time on that subject. In my opinion JROTC has a lot to do with mental/emotional health. Another important addition to the curriculum would be technology. It is a big part of society today as well as in the military. Today’s technology would need to be used in creative ways to get students to express

In recent years’ homeland security has taken a more political approach. Since the attacks on September 11, 2001, politics have played a large role in the decision making, excluding some checks and balances for immediate action. The role homeland security plays within federalism would be to find ways to secure our national security without infringing on our civil liberties. I believe that federalism and the policies and processes in place today, hold the highest importance of continuing our country’s ability to uphold the moral and ethical grounds of the world. Sacrificing those moral and ethical means could hold more threats than terrorism itself.

The United States faces many challenges today. In today’s society, racial profiling and terrorism would be at the top of the list. Racial profiling is widespread and has tremendous effects on the communities of color, national origin, and ethnicity. With the heightened awareness of terrorism in the United States, citizens have become fearful of other races and ethnicities.
Universities across the country should reduce the amount of general education requirements to five courses in order
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was founded in 2002 in response to the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon to prevent any future threat of terrorism that even slightly presented danger to American soil. Congress passed the Homeland Security act in 2002 which absorbed every agency at the time who was working in, “Response to disasters caused by terrorism, natural hazards, or technological hazards” (Haddow 331). Among other agencies, the DHS assumed responsibility over other agencies who presided over the borders and ports as well as those responsible for immigration and citizenship. After reviewing the Brief Documentary History of the Department of Homeland Security, there is not one mention of natural disasters
Jonathan Edwards was a fifth generation Puritan minister who was active during the time the influence of Puritan beliefs was on the decline. The shame of the Salem witchcraft trials in 1692 remained in the back of the Puritan minds for a generation. The trails were a tragic event that exposed the extremes of misguided Puritan fanaticism. During the early part of the eighteenth century, New Englanders relished in the rising level of wealth that prompted a sense of both material and spiritual ease eventually leading to the Half-Way Covenant. Where full church membership was the privilege of those and the offspring of those who could testify to an individual experience of conversion, the Half-Way Covenant stretched such membership to the third
