Learn More about Counterterrorism Jobs at the State and Local Level at Henley-Putnam University
With the threat of global terrorism targeted against US citizens and interests at home and abroad, national efforts to buttress counterterrorism solutions at the federal, state, and local level have expanded dramatically since 9/11. For example, all 50 states have some variation or another of an Office of Emergency Management/Services (or Office of Homeland Security) where local law enforcement, emergency responders and other state officials work with federal counterterrorism officers from agencies like the FBI, DEA, and DHS to coordinate all-hazards mitigation, prevention, and response strategies. These state offices also work with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), DOD, DHS and other agencies to coordinate multi-regional exercises to test preparedness and readiness in case of terrorist attack.
In addition, major metropolitan police departments around the country either have dedicated 24/7 intelligence and counterterrorism divisions and police officers that receive special counterterrorism training where they learn invaluable counterterrorism skills. For example, Law Enforcement Intelligence Units (LEIU) and now so-called Fusion Centers are in operation in every major jurisdiction across the country. Because sophisticated terrorist groups operate in disaggregated cells, local police officers are in the unique position to detect anomalies and identify suspicious activity from within their local communities, providing an effective and essential form of counterterrorism human intelligence (HUMINT). Advanced counterterrorism skills developed through training, experience and an advanced education, for these reasons, are likely to remain in high demand for the foreseeable future.
