U.S. Government Counterterrorism A Guide to Who Does What Michael Kraft Silver Spring, Maryland, USA
Edward Marks Washington, D.C., USA
"This book will be an essential roadmap for anyone who intends to seriously study American counterterrorist policy." —Brian Michael Jenkins, Senior Advisor RAND Corporation (From the Foreword)
U.S. Government Counterterrorism: A Guide to Who Does What is the first readily available, unclassified guide to the many U.S. government agencies, bureau offices, and programs involved in all aspects of countering terrorism domestically and overseas. The authors, veterans of the U.S. government’s counterterrorism efforts, present a rare insider’s view of the counterterrorism effort, addressing such topics as government training initiatives, weapons of mass destruction, interagency coordination, research and development, and the congressional role in policy and budget issues.

Police and Military Dogs Criminal Detection, Forensic Evidence, and Judicial Admissibility John J. Ensminger Stone Ridge, New York, USA
"A solid, hands-on, quick reference source. Truly exceptional!" —Detective Jan Scofield, Master Trainer, North American Police Work Dog Association
"I think every K9 handler should have a copy of this book." —Jonni Joyce, Master Trainer, author of Jonni Joyce News and Commentary
It is essential that those in the criminal justice system understand the tasks that police dogs perform and the evidence that their work produces. Police and Military Dogs: Criminal Detection, Forensic Evidence, and Judicial Admissibility examines the use of police and military dogs for a wide variety of functions and explores canine biology and behavior as it applies to police work.
Individual chapters describe the various agencies, their bureaus, and offices that develop and implement the counterterrorism policies and programs, providing a useful unclassified guide to government officials at all levels as well as students and others interested in how the U.S. counters terrorism. The book also discusses the challenges involved in coordinating the counterterrorism efforts at federal, state, and local levels and explains how key terror events influenced the development of programs, agencies, and counterterrorism legislation. The legislative underpinnings and tools of the U.S. counterterrorism efforts are covered as are the oft-debated issues of defining terrorism itself and efforts to counter violent extremism.
The book begins with an overview of the changes that have occurred in the field in the past four decades as discoveries have been made about canine capabilities. The author examines how a canine handler’s work with a skilled police dog can affect the subsequent investigation and prosecution of the crime. He discusses optimal procedures for finding and processing evidence and describes the boundaries of admissibility of evidence produced by police dogs. The book examines the many diverse detection functions police dogs are being trained to perform, ranging from cadaver detection to the discovery of explosives. It also describes the use of dogs to apprehend criminals and in search and rescue operations.
In addition to outlining the specific agencies and programs, the authors provide unique insights into the broader context of counterterrorism efforts and developments in the last 10-plus years since 9/11 and they raise future considerations given recent landscape-altering global events.
Written for a wide audience including canine handlers, forensic scientists, attorneys, and the judiciary, this volume covers topics pertinent to all aspects of the police dog in contemporary law enforcement.

" ... an invaluable and authoritative guide for understanding the phenomenon of suicide terrorism and how to defeat it." —Joshua Sinai in The Washington Times
Urban environments are prime targets for suicide bombings over the next decade. While the threat may be ever-present, measures are available that can empower law enforcement personnel to thwart attacks, or at least mitigate the effects by reducing casualties. Written by professionals with first-hand experience, Terrorist Suicide Bombings: Attack Interdiction, Mitigation, and Response helps first responders, law enforcement, and homeland security professionals grapple with this increasing threat. The authors offer best practices from the field and lessons learned, providing specific instructions on how to fortify possible suicide bombing targets to reduce casualties. They explain how suicide bombers operate and what weapons they are likely to employ. The book also demystifies common myths about suicide bombers that jeopardize successful interdiction. Including graphic photos depicting the aftermath of actual attacks, the book projects the reader into the chaos of a bomb scene. Chapters describe what one encounters at a site immediately after a bombing and explain what each first responder should and should not do. Case studies throughout enhance the text, explaining why certain suicide bombings succeed while others fail. This volume is a complete, must-own reference for those professionals tasked with defending against, mitigating, and responding to terrorist suicide bombing attacks.
The ability of law enforcement agencies to manage intelligence is key to fighting the war on terror, and a critical foundation of intelligence-led policing is proper analysis of the information gained. Terrorism and Organized Hate Crime: Intelligence Gathering, Analysis, and Investigations, Third Edition provides a methodical approach to analyzing homeland security needs, enabling the law enforcement community to understand the vital role it plays in the war on terrorism. Using techniques applicable to the private and the public sector, the book combines academic, research, and practitioner perspectives to establish a protocol for effectively gathering, analyzing, investigating, and disseminating criminal intelligence. The book demonstrates how to recognize the indicators of an impending act of terrorism or mass violence, how to deter an attack, and how to transform information into intelligence to meet community demands for safety and security. New chapters in this third edition focus on source development and their use in investigations, the role of fusion centers, terrorism financing, the handling of classified materials, and the National Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) Initiative. The book also discusses pre-incident indicators, the radicalization process, and behavioral traits associated with terrorism. A one-stop resource for the homeland security, intelligence analyst, and investigative professional, this volume arms those tasked with protecting the public with a solid blueprint for combating and investigating crimes associated with terrorism and hate.

Introduction to Intelligence Studies
Examining the Performance of Financial Intelligence Units
Carl J. Jensen, III, David McElreath, and Melissa Graves The University of Mississippi, University, USA
Since the attacks of 9/11, the United States Intelligence Community (IC) has undergone an extensive overhaul. Perhaps the greatest of these changes has been the formation of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. As a cabinet level official, the Director oversees the various agencies of the IC and reports directly to the President. The IC today faces challenges as it never has before; everything from terrorism to pandemics to economic stability has now become an intelligence issue. As a result, the IC finds itself shifting its focus from a bipolar world to one in which tech-savvy domestic and international terrorists, transnational criminal organizations, failing states, and economic instability are now a way of life. Introduction to Intelligence Studies provides a solid overview of intelligence and security issues, reviewing the history of intelligence as practiced in the United States and defining critical terms. It includes a comprehensive examination of the "pillars" of American intelligence systems—collection, analysis, counterintelligence and covert operations—and demonstrates how these work together to provide "decision advantage." The book also covers such vital issues as laws and ethics, writing and briefing for the IC, and emerging threats and challenges. Features: • Provides a working definition of intelligence and a history of intelligence as practiced in the United States • Covers intelligence writing, military intelligence, the intelligence cycle, and laws governing intelligence • Includes the latest developments in Homeland Security as related to Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the intelligence community as a whole • Examines collections, analysis, counterintelligence, and covert operations • Presents emerging threats and challenges Catalog no.

Mass Fatalities
Managing Emerging Risk
Managing the Community Response Peter R. Teahen
The Capstone of Preparedness
International Mass Fatalities Center, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA
Kevin D. Burton KDB Legacy Holdings, LLC., Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
From Main Street to Mumbai, Managing Emerging Risk: The Capstone of Preparedness considers the new global drivers behind threats and hazards facing all those tasked with protecting the public and private sector. The text delves into the global mindset of public and private sector emergency managers and presents a new risk landscape vastly different from the one existing ten years ago. The book begins by presenting a series of fictitious scenarios each resulting in mass destruction and fatalities. These are each followed by actual news stories that support the scenarios and demonstrate that the proposed events—seemingly unthinkable—have the potential to occur. Next, the author identifies two drivers in the practice of emergency management and general preparedness today that constitute our view of the future and the new face of risk. The first is the Disaster Halo Effect—the idea that modern threats exhibit more than one event. The second is the worldview of our nation as a Market State focused on the trading of goods, services, and ideas among the nation-states. The book also reviews the history of preparedness and discusses its relationship with large-scale threats, establishing that hindsight bias has hurt our ability to plan and respond to the unexpected. The chapters that follow explore what is needed to better cultivate, design, develop, and operate emerging management and preparedness thinking in the current environment. Each chapter begins with key terms and objectives and ends with thought-provoking questions. Introducing a new paradigm of thought that takes into account the chief influencers of global threats, the book arms emergency and business operations managers with the ammo needed to successfully confront emerging threats in the 21st century. Catalog no. K11272, December 2011, 287 pp. Soft Cover ISBN: 978-1-4398-2641-6, $59.95 / £38.99 Also available as an eBook
A mass fatalities response goes far beyond returning the remains of a loved one to surviving family members.

Managing Spontaneous Community Volunteers in Disasters A Field Manual Lisa Orloff World Cares Center, New York, USA
“Lisa Orloff has done an excellent job in both identifying a significant opportunity in emergency response and meticulously outlining how that opportunity can best be leveraged.” —Dr. Michael Chumer, New Jersey Institute of Technology
History has demonstrated that it is not only possible, but extremely cost effective, to organize and empower community volunteers to serve their own neighborhoods during times of crisis. Laying out the rationale and process by which emergency managers, community leaders, and non-governmental aid organizations can effectively harness volunteer resources, Managing Spontaneous Community Volunteers in Disasters: A Field Manual explains how to engage, train, and utilize spontaneous unaffiliated community volunteers (SUCVs). Complete with templates that can be modified to suit the needs of any community, this accessible manual provides the tools to: • Assess an agency’s needs and challenges • Develop internal and external protocols to manage SUCs • Establish effective spot screening and selection methods • Engage community members in information-sharing and outreach campaigns Designed to prepare leaders to handle any scale of emergency, the book supplies the skill set needed to enable volunteers to respond to hazards safely and effectively. Integrating Orloff’s on-the-ground experience with community organizing, a decade of research data on disaster management protocols, and recent psychosocial research, the book makes a strong case as to why community involvement in disaster response has such a positive impact on a community’s resilient recovery.

"… should be mandatory reading for any crisis negotiator who considers him/herself a professional." —Russ Moore, Sergeant, San Diego Sheriff’s Department
While there are many books on crisis negotiation, most of the current literature focuses on the history and mechanics of this dynamic process, leaving out critical elements that are required for a successful encounter with a hostage-taker or other malfeasant. Psychological Aspects of Crisis Negotiation, Second Edition explores the methods and strategies for confronting the nine types of subjects typically encountered in hostage/suicide sieges by correctional staff and law enforcement crisis negotiators. Drawn from articles published by Thomas Strentz while serving at the FBI Academy* along with written versions of lectures developed and delivered since his retirement, the book highlights psychological dynamics of negotiations as they apply to the negotiator, the hostage, and the subject. It discusses the predictors of surrender versus the need for a tactical intervention and examines the phases of a hostage crisis and the changing focus as the crisis develops. Referencing historical events such as The Bay of Pigs invasion and the Challenger and Columbia incidents, the book demonstrates how faulty group decision making can spell tragedy. Enhanced with case studies to put the material into context, this second edition also includes new chapters on the first responder, hostage survival, and the Islamic belief system and culture. Steeped in sage advice from a national expert, this volume arms those tasked with confronting dangerous offenders with the knowledge and tools they need to subvert disaster and ensure the preservation of human life.

Security ROI Security Program Value Creation and Demonstration Thomas L. Norman, CPP/PSP/CSC Protection Partners International, Houston, Texas, USA & Beirut, Lebanon
Tackling a notorious problem for C-level- and security executives, Security ROI: Security Program Value Creation and Demonstration explores how to determine the "right" budget for an organization's security program.
