Assume you are the police chief of a small town in central Florida. Orlando, FL is just 50 miles away providing many tourist attractions such as Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World, bringing millions of visitors to the region. This presents a possible target for terrorists.
Based on the rising threat of terrorism from ISIS and other terrorist groups, you re-evaluated your readiness for a possible terrorist attack. Your evaluation resulted in the need for additional equipment to ensure safety for your citizens; however, budget cuts do not allow additional spending for updated communication devices. You decide to address the city council asking for assistance.
Prepare a Power Point presentation for the city council meeting answering the following questions:
What is terrorism?
Has the frequency of terrorism increased over the last several years or is this a perception based on media reports?
Does illegal immigration through our southern borders create a threat for increased terrorism in the United States? Why or why not?
Do you think ISIS is a greater threat for the United Stated than Al Quaeda or Hezbollah?
In your opinion, do you believe local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies are prepared to prevent future terrorist attacks in the United States?
What kind of improvements in counter terrorism would you recommend? Base your answer on the need for additional resources and equipment.
In your analysis, assess the relationships among law enforcement agencies. Evaluate the use of weapons of mass destruction and analyze the actions of public safety and health agencies.
Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as "speaker notes" for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists.
Support your presentation with at least three scholarly or professional resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included.
Length: 12-15slides (with a separate reference slide)
Notes Length: 100-150 words for each slide
