SEC 315 Strayer University Role of Private Security & Homeland Security Officers Research Paper
Description
-
Private Security and Homeland Security
- In its National Strategy for Homeland Security (2007), the Homeland Security Council stated that private agencies and organizations own 85% of the nations critical infrastructure. One conclusion is irrefutable: No one is in a better position to be a first preventer than the private security officer in America.
- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) in 2006 to protect the nations critical infrastructure and key resources (CIKR). Using Chapter 9 in your Introduction to Security text and other authoritative sources, such as the DHS, research how partnerships between the public and private sectors effectively assist the DHS in prevention and crisis management.
