Prevention, Intelligence
&
Deterrence
Technician Module 2 Unit 8 Slide 1
Unit 8 Learning Objective
At the completion of this unit the student
will be able to describe appropriate
procedures that will lead to prevention
and deterrence of terrorist activities.
Technician Module 2 Unit 8 Slide 2
Student Performance Objectives
• Students should know how to seek and improve the
collaborations between and among public and private
sector agencies to prevent WMD terrorism.
• Students should describe the elements to establishing
a system, center, or task force to serve as a “clearing
house” for all potentially relevant domestically
generated terrorism data and information
• Know how to enhance analytic capabilities for linking
information on potential threats.
• Be able to ensure a reliable capability to alert officials
and emergency personnel of terrorism threats, with
warnings initiated, received, and relayed to alert key
decision makers and emergency personnel
Technician Module 2 Unit 8 Slide 3
Student Performance Objectives
• Be able to identify an appropriate Risk Management
Model or some other appropriate analytical model to
identify “hazards”.
• Know how to establish “anti-terrorism" CPTED "target
hardening” activity.
• Students should know important topics for training
law enforcement personnel and others .
• Students should be able to identify the elements
necessary to train law enforcement personnel in
tactical capabilities with special teams of law
enforcement
Technician Module 2 Unit 8 Slide 4
Basis for Prevention, Intel &
Deterrence
This unit is based wholly on those performance
objectives set by the Office of Domestic Preparedness
for Prevention and Deterrence of terrorist criminal
activities.
As a WMD Performance – Offensive (Technician) you
will be tasked with the ever increasing difficult need to
partner with in a response and train lower level
responders. This future need makes it imperative that
you understand these guidelines and have the ability to
convey them during pre-incident planning or during a
response for deterrence of future attacks.
Technician Module 2 Unit 8 Slide 5
National Strategy for Homeland
Security
• The strategic objectives of
homeland security in order of
priority are to:
– Prevent terrorist attacks within the United
States;
– Reduce America’s vulnerability to terrorism,
and
– Minimize the damage and recover from
attacks that may occur
Technician Module 2 Unit 8 Slide 6
Collaboration Guideline
Jurisdictions should seek to improve the
collaborations between and among public
and private sector agencies to prevent
WMD terrorism. This includes the
recognition of a need for prevention, and
preparation for a terrorist criminal event.
Technician Module 2 Unit 8 Slide 7
Information Sharing Guideline
Jurisdictions seeking to develop “Information Sharing” linkages to
prevent WMD terrorism should:
1.
Enhance analytic capabilities for linking information on
potential threats.
2.
Establish a framework for sharing information/intelligence and
prevention strategies, particularly between Law Enforcement
and other agencies
3.
Establish an information exchange network and directory for
information sharing.
4.
Ensure a reliable capability to alert officials and emergency
personnel of terrorism threats, with warnings initiated,
received, and relayed to alert key decision makers and
emergency personnel regardless of the threat or operational
involvement, as well as a robust, redundant, timely system for
sharing information with other agencies, organizations, and
the public.
Technician Module 2 Unit 8 Slide 8
Risk Management Guidelines
Jurisdictions considering “Risk Management”
approaches to reduce vulnerability of targets
and prevent WMD terrorism
“Risk Management” was previously labeled
“Target Hardening”. The broader description
was selected to reflect the decision-making
processes inherent in determining which assets
to secure, the methods and resources used to
address the security, and the cost-benefit
calculus associated with those decisions.
Technician Module 2 Unit 8 Slide 9
CPTED
Crime Prevention through Environmental
Design (CPTED)
Principles and methods are available to
agencies and organizations for target
hardening" enhancement of appropriate
locations in the built environment.
Technician Module 2 Unit 8 Slide 10
Threat Recognition Guideline
Create a secure system to collect,
screen, and store relevant
information with investigative value
Technician Module 2 Unit 8 Slide 11
Prevention Strategies
Intervention Guidelines
Jurisdictions seeking to improve
“Intervention” to stop terrorists before
they can execute a threat
Technician Module 2 Unit 8 Slide 12
Broadening WMD Terrorism
Prevention Guideline
Broader WMD terrorism prevention
strategies or approaches with national
implications (described in National
Strategy for Homeland Security)
