POHSA - Homeland Security and Law Enforcement in a Post 9/11 Environment
Course Description
The role of law enforcement in communities is to protect the peace and provide for safe communities. The emergence of homeland security as a function of law enforcement has strengthened collaboration and partnerships between local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. More importantly, the concepts of homeland security have strengthened relationships between the law enforcement community and non-traditional responder communities of practice such as public health. This course will provide an overview of the role law enforcement plays in protecting the homeland. Focusing on the concepts of preparedness, prevention, and response will provide students an overview of how law enforcement operates within a homeland security enterprise. More importantly, this class will build upon the historical concepts of domestic law enforcement and apply them to the homeland security mission.
