Protecting Your Community from Terrorism: The Strategies for Local Law Enforcement Series. Volume 5: Partnerships to Promote Homeland Security

摘要

At the time of the executive session that brought leaders from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) together with those from other federal, state, local and tribal agencies, DHS had just celebrated its first year in existence. In that year, it had already taken significant steps to restructure and reorganize 22 federal agencies, all of which brought with them their own distinct cultures, missions and goals. DHS has crafted a strategic plan for this new agency while making important strides in advancing collaboration among the tens of thousands of law enforcement agencies engaged in counterterrorism efforts.
