Dan Darpa, director of homeland security for the City of Centervale, has returned from a recent conference at which one of the presenters referenced a study by Strom, Hollywood, and Pope (2009) that explored how 911 calls might be early indicators of potential terrorist threats.
Thinking that this information might have direct relevance to homeland security efforts for Centervale, Darpa has asked for your assistance in finding and interpreting this particular study and other similar research.
Access the Strom, Hollywood, and Pope (2009) study from the National Institute of Justice and review this specific article.
Locate two other similar research sources from either the National Institute of Justice Data Collections or the National Criminal Justice Reference Service Databases.
