Terrorist Threat Guidelines: Law Enforcement Planning and Response to Changing Threat Levels
This course aims to introduce participants to the Terrorist Threat Guidelines and the Quick Reference Handbook so they can effectively utilize this resource in their planning and response efforts. To accomplish this goal, the course begins with a cursory review of the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. Participants receive and overview of the homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS), with particular attention focused on the Color-Coded Threat Level System. Once familiar with threat conditions, participants turn their focus to the Terrorist Threat Guidelines document and the Quick Reference handbook with emphasis on the importance of realizing when to use each resource. New knowledge of threat level conditions and recommended actions is tried when individuals participate in a scenario-based tabletop exercise. Participants must determine whether the threat conditions is affected and how their communication, protective, and preventive actions are impacted by the possible change in threat conditions. At the end of the course, participants reflect on what they have learned by assessing considerations unique to their local jurisdictions and how their agency policies, standard operating procedures, and/or emergency operation plans might be improved by incorporating aspects of the guideline documents.,
