Yet, there are still terrorist groups plotting to take us down that we are not aware of. Holder, Napolitano and Clapper stated “We have expanded the number or Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs) around the country from 35 to 104-” (706) as an example of logos.

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
As a member of the Homeland Security Assessment Team for our organization, we will attempt to build a program that will allow us to meet the goals of our business plan as well as the needs of our Homeland Security Assessment that we will create from the results of our evaluation of our organization (Fisher, 2004). We will utilize the Baldridge Criteria to combine our two-goal seeking areas of our business plan as well as our Homeland Security Assessment goals that we are identified at the conclusion of our Homeland Security Assessment. When we do our Baldridge Criteria measurements of our organization we will be able to determine the areas of our organization that we are already protected from weaknesses and vulnerabilities; and will be able

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

The level of preparedness for the terrorist attacks of 9/11 including domestic, city, state, national, emergency, building and the private sector preparedness is fundamental recurring theme in the 9/11 Commission Report (2004). Scholarly academic research (Cerullo & Cerullo, 2004; Zsidisin, Melnyk, & Ragatz, 2005) and United States standards (The 9/11 Commission Report; 2004; National Fire Protection Association 1600, 2016) have established disaster recovery and business continuity plans as the initial fundamental level of preparedness required in the public and private sector to prepare, withstand and avoid disruption from disasters such as a terrorist
FEMA did not play any role during the Boston Bombings of 2013 emergency response (George et al, p.29). However, it would be naïve to assume that FEMA and DHS are today not up to their task of preparedness and response to emergencies despite the obstacles. It is important to point out that, the evolution has been met with a number of challenges. In as much as it has seen an increase in the number of actors, the conflicts within has affected the end result of emergency response. The DHS and FEMA for example, these two entities and their competition for authority meant that there was an overall lack of preparedness to counter Hurricane Sandy.
A Marriage in Shambles When a marriage is consummated, vows of commitment and persevering through both sickness and health are considered key aspects. However, many people choose to forego these vows years later, through actions such as adultery. As a result, these relationships are oftentimes “put on the rocks”, and later terminated. Yet in certain situations, people choose to preserve through it and commitment is put to the test. In The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, the two main characters, Elizabeth and John Proctor, clearly face a struggle of intentions.
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.
