    Process?

  • PTE Defined
  • Groups or individuals indicating the unlawful use
    of force or violence
  • Specifically the utilization of a WMD
  • To intimidate or coerce
  • Government or civilian population
  • Political or social purposes

Threat Assessment
5
  • Weapons of Mass Destruction (18 USC 2332a)
  • Defines a weapon of mass destruction as (1) any
    destructive device as defined in section 921 of
    this title, which reads any explosive,
    incendiary, or poison gas, bomb, grenade, rocket
    having a propellant charge of more than four
    ounces, missile having an explosive or incendiary
    charge of more than one-quarter ounce, mine or
    device similar to the above (2) poison gas (3)
    any weapon involving a disease organism or (4)
    any weapon that is designed to release radiation
    or radioactivity at a level dangerous to human
    life.

Threat Assessment
6
  • Threat Working Group
  • Law enforcement personnel/intelligence components
  • Consider all appropriate personnel/agencies
  • Additional participants should be limited to
    subject matter experts who advise on terrorism
    related issues
  • FBI WMD Coordinator
  • FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force
  • Provide information on motives and capabilities
    of PTE

Threat Assessment
7
  • Joint Terrorism Task Force
  • Combines federal, state and local law enforcement
  • Develop cohesive strategy for identifying,
    investigating and prosecuting terrorists
  • Intelligence collection and analysis to prevent
    terrorist acts
  • 66 JTTFs nationwide

Threat Assessment
8
  • FBI WMD Coordinator
  • Located within FBI field offices
  • Assist state and local jurisdictions with
    identifying WMD threat elements
  • Assist state and local jurisdictions in their
    establishment of policies and procedures
    established for responding to WMD terrorist
    attacks
  • Liaison to the Joint Terrorism Task Force

Threat Assessment
9
  • Law Enforcement On-line (LEO)

Threat Assessment
10
  • Safeguards
  • Information sharing limited to working group
  • No recording or forwarding of sensitive
    information
  • Alternatives recognized but require submission
    using existing format

Threat Assessment
11
  • Cautions
  • Snapshot of current operational activity within
    jurisdiction
  • Assessment does not warrant opening an
    investigation
  • Lone offenders and splinter groups should be
    considered
  • Different interpretations of threat factors
  • Tendency to inflate results

Threat Assessment
12
R E F E R E N C E Jurisdiction Handbook page 12
  • Threat Assessment Process
  • Assessment completion off-line
  • Organize threat working group
  • PTE existence
  • Past violent history
  • Evidence of intentions
  • Evidence of capability
  • Evidence of targeting
  • Jurisdiction threat rating (highest threat)
  • On-line entry of threat rating

Threat Assessment
13
R E F E R E N C E Jurisdiction Handbook page 14
  • Document Threat Working Group
  • Jurisdiction population and coordinating agency
  • POC for Threat Working Group
  • Working group agencies
  • FBI/Joint Terrorism Task Force participation

Threat Assessment
14
  • Threat Assessment Factors
  • Existence
  • The presence of a group or individual, operating
    within the jurisdiction

Threat Assessment
15
  • History
  • Demonstrated past terrorist activity over time or
    a recorded, violent criminal history

Threat Assessment
16
  • Intentions
  • Credible advocacy/threats of force or violence,
    acts, preparations to act evidencing intent to
    create a WMD, carry out a plan to release a WMD,
    or to participate in a WMD incident

Threat Assessment
17
  • Capability
  • Credible information that a specific PTE
    possesses the requisite training, skills,
    finances, and access to resources needed to
    develop, produce, or acquire a particular type of
    WMD in a quantity and/or potency sufficient to
    produce mass casualties, combined with
    information substantiating the PTEs ability to
    safely store, test, and deliver the same

Threat Assessment
18
  • Targeting
  • Credible information indicative of preparations
    for specific terrorist operations against
    identifiable targets located within the specified
    jurisdiction

31
  • Vulnerability Defined
  • The process of identifying any weaknesses that
    can be exploited by an adversary to gain access
    or information
  • Vulnerabilities can result from, but are not
    limited to
  • Building characteristics
  • Equipment properties
  • Personal behavior
  • Operational practices

  • Potential Targets
  • Facilities
  • Sites
  • Systems
  • Special events

Basic Vulnerability Assessment
33
  • Vulnerability Working Group
  • Multi-discipline members
  • Include personnel who can provide specific
    information unique to potential target

  • Worksheets
  • 7 Assessment Factors

Basic Vulnerability Assessment
Identify Potential Targets
  • Critical Assets List
  • Top 10 (10 or less all targets)

Organize the Assessment Team
  • Multidiscipline members
  • Working knowledge of facilities, sites,
  • systems, or special events

35
  • Seven Factors Used to Assess Vulnerability
  • Level of visibility
  • Criticality of target site to jurisdiction
  • Impact outside of the jurisdiction
  • PTE access to potential target
  • Potential target threat of hazard
  • Potential target site population capacity
  • Potential for collateral mass casualties

Basic Vulnerability Assessment
36
  • Step 1 - Assess the awareness of the existence
    and visibility of the target to the general
    public

Basic Vulnerability Assessment
37
  • Step 2 - Assess usefulness of assets to local
    population, economy, government, etc. Potential
    targets deemed essential to the continuity of the
    jurisdiction

Basic Vulnerability Assessment
38
  • Step 3 - Assess the effect loss will have outside
    of the jurisdiction

Basic Vulnerability Assessment
39
  • Step 4 - Assess the availability of the target
    for ingress and egress by a PTE

Basic Vulnerability Assessment
40
  • Step 5 - Assess the presence of legal WMD
    material (CBRNE) in quantities that could be the
    target of a terrorist attack or would complicate
    the response to an incident at that facility

Basic Vulnerability Assessment
41
  • Step 6 - Assess the maximum number of individuals
    at a site at any given time

Basic Vulnerability Assessment
42
  • Step 7 - Assess potential collateral mass
    casualties within a one-mile radius of the target
    site

Basic Vulnerability Assessment

  • Summary score
  • Rating key
  • Enter target rating
  • Document rating for each target

    collect Vulnerability Worksheets
  • Need to compile a national list of valuable
    assets
  • USSS Key Asset Program contact
  • FOIA considerations
