how government agencies combat terrorism

Research Paper Structure

Structured as follows for each of the 3 agencies: (1) U.S Customs and Border Protection, (2) New York Police Department, and (3) Georgia National Guard

a. Jurisdiction (What areas does they police?)

b. Size (How many members? Sworn and unsworn?)

c. Missions (What does the agency say are its responsibilities?)

 

2. ROLE IN HOMELAND DEFENSE (a review of the agency’s web site is a good place to start) What does the agencies itself say about their own role in Homeland Defense? What do other sources say? (For example, news articles)

 

3. SUMMARIZE AND DISCUSS at least 3 cases in which Homeland Defense issues have arisen in one or more of the selected agencies (obtain from news media research, agency web site, or direct contact with agency public affairs office.). Examples include:

a. Arrests of terrorists

b. Interdiction of terrorist plans

c. Seizure of terrorist supplies or materials

d. Successful cooperation with other U.S. or foreign agencies

 

NOTE: You only need 3 stories from any combination of your agencies; not 3 stories for each.

 

4. CORE VALUES OF EACH AGENCY What are the CVs of each of your agencies? (Some agencies have Mission Statements instead.)

a. List the Core Values. (or similar statement that the agency has chosen about itself)
