Law Enforcement

Description:

This course provides an overview of the various weapons available to terrorists that threaten America and the rest of the nations of the world. Modern applications of technologies by current foreign terrorist organizations will be included. Utilization of such weapons (chemical and/or biological) will likely require a multi-jurisdictional response capability from incident site first responders and possible U.S. military specialty response units. Cyber-terrorism has come of age requiring public and private coordination of responses to such attacks. Other weapon platforms of terrorism to be examined include radiological and explosives (dirty bombs) designed to create mass contamination of the population and surroundings. Resulting decontamination issues will be discussed as well as new tactics the instructor deems appropriate. All shall be covered with students learning about the various means used by terrorist to create fear and death. This is a writing intensive course. Offered Spring
