Department of Homeland Security (DHS) jurisdiction

Description

You will develop a research paper that addresses the legal basis of current Department of Homeland Security (DHS) jurisdiction, mission, and responsibilities. You will need to specifically analyze hazards (including man-made or technological and naturally occurring hazards) and terrorism (domestic and foreign) in the information paper. You are an action officer in your local jurisdiction’s Office of Homeland Security. This is a recently created office. As a medium-sized jurisdiction, the city manager’s office has dual responsibilities in many of the leadership and management positions. This is often referred to as being dual-hatted. The chief of police has been assigned as the director of the Office of Homeland Security for the city. She has no prior experience or knowledge of the requirements involved in homeland security and has asked you to provide a formal report on the topic. The chief intends to share this report with other office managers, city department heads, the city manager, and the elected officials of the city (mayor and city council).

Your report is a research paper and must be in APA format. The report should address the following items:

  • The legal basis of current DHS jurisdiction, mission, and responsibilities
  • Legal definitions of hazards, including man-made or technological and naturally occurring hazards
  • Legal definitions of terrorism, both domestic and foreign
  • Review of state law and statutes (using your home or residency state) as they apply to hazards
  • Review of state law and statutes (using your home or residency state) as they apply to terrorism
  • Summary of your top 5 key points
  • Any recommendations that you may have to your city’s leadership concerning homeland security issues

You should reference all source material and citations using APA format. Research definitions on threats, hazards, and terrorism using the CTU Library.
