Endorsements

• "To illuminate Homeland Security is an ambitious
  undertaking in a world where the topic often
  generates more heat than light. Through
  integration of governmental, business and
  academic perspectives, the authors succeed in
  providing the reader with a vital framework for
  understanding. I know of no other single source
  that provides students and policy makers with
  such a thorough, yet eminently readable
  volume."--Gregory Saathoff MD, Executive
  Director, Critical Incident Analysis Group
  (CIAG), University of Virginia School of Medicine
• "Finally, a comprehensive and coherent textbook
  for the homeland security arena. The authors have
  undertaken a complex subject matter and distilled
  it into a presentable format that will have great
  utility from the classroom to the boardroom.  The
  balancing and integration of subjects that impact
  public and private sector organizations as well
  as academia provide the instructor and student
  with a unique text that will also serve as a
  ready reference long after the class has
  concluded."--Paul M. Maniscalco, MPA, Gilmore
  National Terrorism Commission, Chairman, Threat
  Reassessment Panel and State and Local Response
  Panel

Customer Reviews

• Amazon.com Customer Reviews
• 'A Fine Effort for a Little Book'  This short,
  little paperback covers the basics, even though
  it uses a broadened or widened definition of
  terrorism (e.g., socially motivated, incites
  fear). Historical details are kept to a minimum.
  Organizational issues closely follow the
  governmental dictum about how homeland security
  ought to be organized. The tabletop exercises at
  the end of each chapter are good.
• 'A must read for students of homeland security,
  concerned citizens, and policymakers."Understand
  ing Homeland Security" is a comprehensive
  examination of the past, present, and future of
  homeland security. Understanding Homeland
  Security" is well designed, very readable, and is
  an important read for anyone interested in
  homeland security.

  States. These activities include
• Collection of information needed by the
  President, the National Security Council, the
  Secretaries of State and Defense, and other
  Executive Branch officials for the performance of
  their duties and responsibilities
• Production and dissemination of intelligence
• Collection of information concerning, and the

• Special activities
• Administrative and support activities within the
  US and abroad necessary for the performance of
  authorized activities and
• Such other intelligence activities as the
  President may direct from time to time.

Overview of Information Analysis

• The Intelligence Cycle
• Planning and Direction
• Drawing up specific collection requirements
• Collection
• Gathering of the raw data needed to produce
  finished intelligence
• Processing
• Conversion of the vast amount of information
  collected to a form usable by analysts
• All-Source Analysis and Production

  consumers, the same policy makers, whose needs
  initiated the intelligence requirements

54
Overview of Information Analysis

• Security Clearance

  information and is a status granted to
  individuals, typically members of the military
  and employees of governments and their
  contractors
• Security Clearance Steps
• A detailed life story form
• Background check
• Full field investigation
• Special background investigation (SBI)
• Polygraph test of the candidate
• Adjudication A review of all the materials from
  the prior steps, and a conclusion is reached
  where the individual is either given or denied
  the requested level of clearance
• Levels of Classification Unclassified,
  Confidential, Secret, Top Secret

55
Overview of Information Analysis

• Role of Information Analysis in HS
• Homeland Security is a relatively new area.
• The future success of information analysis and
  preparation of intelligence depends on the
  ability of agencies to cooperate and share
  pertinent information to protect the nations
  interests.
• One emerging issue of in the IC The rising need
  for analysts as the existing workforce approaches
  retirement age.
• Current estimates 20,000-25,000 analysts
  positions in the IC will be available
• The other issue shaping the future of the IC is
  the need for increased translators of foreign
  languages.

• The growth of Homeland Security in America
• One of the most wide-sweeping bureaucratic
  movements in history.
• For coordinated domestic preparedness efforts,
  improvements are necessary.
• Understanding of key legislation, organizations,
  terms, and goals of HS is necessary.
