Terrorism
Internet Exercises 1. Since September 11, 2001, several police departments and law enforcement institutes throughout the country have begun to offer training for police personnel on preparing for, investigating, and responding to terrorist crime incidents. Search the web for information on this training. What types of training are available? What topic areas do they cover? Do you think the training would be helpful to a criminal investigator? Why or why not? Is there any specific type of training that you think should be provided but is not available?
2. Many large police agencies have posted information on their websites about homeland defense and preparation for terrorism incidents. Check out the websites of several large police agencies in your region. What type of information do they provide? Is any of the information useful to criminal investigators? (For an example, check out the Las Vegas municipal police department's site at www.lvmpd.com/home/homeland_safety.htm.) |
