Homeland Security
• Definition: Wikipedia
– The term homeland security refers to the broad
national effort by all levels of government to protect its
territory from hazards, both internal and external,
natural and man-made. The term is most often used
in the United States; elsewhere, national security has
more usage. The term is also used to refer to the
United States Department of Homeland Security itself

Endorsements
•
"To illuminate Homeland Security is an ambitious undertaking in a world
where the topic often generates more heat than light. Through integration of
governmental, business and academic perspectives, the authors succeed in
providing the reader with a vital framework for understanding. I know of no
other single source that provides students and policy makers with such a
thorough, yet eminently readable volume."
--Gregory Saathoff MD, Executive Director, Critical Incident Analysis Group
(CIAG), University of Virginia School of Medicine
•
"Finally, a comprehensive and coherent textbook for the homeland security
arena. The authors have undertaken a complex subject matter and distilled
it into a presentable format that will have great utility from the classroom to
the boardroom. The balancing and integration of subjects that impact public
and private sector organizations as well as academia provide the instructor
and student with a unique text that will also serve as a ready reference long
after the class has concluded."
--Paul M. Maniscalco, MPA, Gilmore National Terrorism Commission,
Chairman, Threat Reassessment Panel and State and Local Response
Panel

Customer Reviews
• Amazon.com Customer Reviews
– 'A Fine Effort for a Little Book'
This short, little paperback covers the basics, even though it uses a broadened
or widened definition of terrorism (e.g., socially motivated, incites fear). Historical
details are kept to a minimum. Organizational issues closely follow the
governmental dictum about how homeland security ought to be organized. The
tabletop exercises at the end of each chapter are good.
– 'A must read for students of homeland security, concerned citizens, and
policymakers.‘
"Understanding Homeland Security" is a comprehensive examination of the past,
present, and future of homeland security. “Understanding Homeland Security" is
well designed, very readable, and is an important read for anyone interested in
homeland security.

• Intelligence
– The process, which produces a product through a series of six
steps (Richelson 1999, 8)
• Collection of data
• Processing this information
• Integration with other data
• Analysis of what has been assembled
• Evolution of the data
• Interpretation by the analyst(s)

practical in combating terrorism, but is also utilized in law
enforcement; disaster planning and response; competitive
analysis; and strategic planning
50
Intelligence Community (IC)
•
A federation of executive branch agencies and organizations that work separately
and together to conduct intelligence activities necessary for the conduct of foreign
relations and the protection of the national security of the United States. These
activities include:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Collection of information needed by the President, the National Security Council, the Secretaries of State
and Defense, and other Executive Branch officials for the performance of their duties and responsibilities;
Production and dissemination of intelligence;
Collection of information concerning, and the conduct of activities to protect against, intelligence activities
directed against the US, international terrorist and international narcotics activities, and other hostile
activities directed against the US by foreign powers, organizations, persons, and their agents;
Special activities;
Administrative and support activities within the US and abroad necessary for the performance of authorized
activities; and
Such other intelligence activities as the President may direct from time to time.
Use the links at the right to read legislation, reports, and executive orders that have defined the IC since
1947.

Overview of Information
Analysis
• The Intelligence Cycle
– Planning and Direction
• Drawing up specific collection requirements
– Collection
• Gathering of the raw data needed to produce finished intelligence
– Processing
• Conversion of the vast amount of information collected to a form
usable by analysts
– All-Source Analysis and Production
• Conversion of basic information into finished intelligence
– Dissemination
• Distribution of the finished intelligence to the consumers, the same
policy makers, whose needs initiated the intelligence requirements
53
Overview of Information
Analysis
•
•
Security Clearance
– Specifies a level of access given to certain information and is a status
granted to individuals, typically members of the military and employees
of governments and their contractors
– Security Clearance Steps
• A detailed life story form
• Background check
• Full field investigation
• Special background investigation (SBI)
• Polygraph test of the candidate
• Adjudication: A review of all the materials from the prior steps, and a
conclusion is reached where the individual is either given or denied
the requested level of clearance
Levels of Classification: Unclassified, Confidential, Secret, Top Secret
54
Overview of Information
Analysis
• Role of Information Analysis in HS
– Homeland Security is a relatively new area.
– The future success of information analysis and preparation of
intelligence depends on the ability of agencies to cooperate and
share pertinent information to protect the nation’s interests.
– One emerging issue of in the IC: The rising need for analysts as
the existing workforce approaches retirement age.
• Current estimates: 20,000-25,000 analysts positions in the IC
will be available
– The other issue shaping the future of the IC is the need for
increased translators of foreign languages.

Conclusions
• The growth of Homeland Security in
America
– One of the most wide-sweeping bureaucratic
movements in history.
– For coordinated domestic preparedness efforts,
improvements are necessary.
– Understanding of key legislation, organizations,
terms, and goals of HS is necessary.
– More detailed research of many perspectives of HS
should be pursued.
