Take a look at agencies such as LAPD and NYPD who have built elaborate intelligence units that not only gather criminal intelligence, but threats to national security. This is due to the ability of city and state governments to adapt to the new role faster and with more vigor than the federal government. I would attribute this to the word you use earlier, “ownership”, the city and state public safety apparatus are the first responders that live, work, and interact more with those they serve creating that special relationship. Federal first responders do have the same drive and passion, but seem to deal with a larger bureaucracy that gives a sense of greater removal from the immediate situation. Just some observations and comments I look forward to more discussions Steve Lettic Capella Learner I would agree that the public safety community has taken ownership of the threat, and most especially local law enforcement.
