This program prepares students to perform the duties of police and public security officers, including traffic control, patrol and investigative activities, crowd control, and public relations.

To become a State Patrol Trooper, one must complete an extensive hiring process – which can often take a year from the initial application to being offered employment - and that’s the easy part. After accepting the position of Cadet, one must complete a 22-week on-site academy. If one graduates, they earn the title Patrol Intern, and the 11-week Field Training begins. If one completes this to the satisfaction of their Field Training Officer, they then begin to patrol by themselves (working the road) and have earned the title of Trooper. But the training does not stop there. Each year, every uniformed and civilian (administrative staff and communication officers) attends a 40 hour in-service

This paper explores various published articles that report on results from research conducted on online and offline relationships and their relationship to terrorism training. Many aspects of terror threats have changed largely due to technology and cyberspace. New developments

Opening Paragraph, Thesis Statement: As the U.S is faced with the threat of terrorism, all branches of the government must contribute in order to ensure the safety of all American citizens; President Obama has a set of standards and procedures for handling terrorist threats, the Legislative Branch has agreed to these policies and addition, created an insurance program to protect those affected by terrorism, and the Supreme Court has heard cases in order to ensure the President’s standards are upheld and procedures are followed.

When I got to the Law Enforcement Center Officer Brookes let me know that he likes for people that are riding with him to be very hands on. I was excited to get the experienced to see what this career is all about. The next step was to get into the report room to see what went on in the day shift. They got report and then we were off to patrol the streets. Some of the objects that I was able to see and learn was the handcuffs and the proper way of putting them on someone. I had the chance to hold

Terrorist attacks generally take place on a larger scale given the political and ideological reasoning behind the attack. In most cases, state and federal law enforcement agencies take the lead on the investigation and response. However, with most attacks requiring detailed and thorough planning on all levels, local law enforcements agencies are essential to thwarting any potential acts of terror before they occur. The inclusion of these smaller agencies increases the level of preparedness and responsiveness to any potential threat while at the same time, benefiting both smaller and larger agencies.

As a result of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, most Americans have a general knowledge about terrorism. The U.S. military has been at war for around a decade, continuing the concentration of the media and politicians on Middle Eastern countries and terrorist groups. Consequently, the focus of the nation tends to remain on international terrorist groups rather than domestic terrorist groups. There is a vast amount of terrorism groups in America, including the Army of God, the Aryan Nations, and the Animal Liberation Front, who possess extreme ideals and exist for different reasons. The fact that there are numerous terrorist groups that are composed of American citizens performing tremendous acts of violence within the U.S. seems to go somewhat unnoticed by the general public.

Annotated bibliography Bellamy, Alex J., Security and the war on terror, 1975-, 2007 This author is a university lecturer in the University of Queensland. He is a professor of peace and conflict studies and seems like he has a very broad amount of knowledge in the area of different wars including war on terror. His book security and the war on terror are pushed towards readers who care about the security of their country and the war on terror. ‘This edited book recognises a fundamental issue: while major crises initially tend to reinforce old thinking and behavioural patterns, they also allow societies to challenge and overcome entrenched habits, thereby creating the foundations for a new and perhaps more peaceful future’ .

     A major area of training for the recruits is patrol procedures and operation. First, recruits would be trained in the history and importance of patrol. Next, would be orientation into pre-patrol and routine patrol procedures. Once the recruits have a good understanding of the patrol basics, then they would be introduced to patrol activities and incidents. Recruits would have practical application exercises where, under the direct supervision of instructors, they would encounter a variety of possible scenarios. Scenarios may include: traffic stops, felony traffic stops, driving into an ambush, DUI enforcement and procedures, and pursuits. Recruits

Do you ever have one of those moments in your life in which you will never forget where you were? I remember waking up early on September 11, 2001, getting ready for school and my dad telling me hurry up to watch the news with him. Being in 8th grade at the time, the news really wasn’t something I would watch in the mornings so I knew it had to be something important. Then I saw it. An airplane crashing into a tower, people panicking, and mayhem ensuing in a city very well known to me. When any tragic event like 9/11 occurs, the effect it will have on a nation is tremendous. It left America in shock, anger, and sadness just to name a few adjectives to describe the insurmountable amount of feelings that we felt on that day.

There are several terrorist groups throughout the world today. All the terrorist groups have one common goal and that is to rid the world of Americans and western influence from the Muslim world. There is one organization that has ties to most of all the terrorist groups in the world and is the most infamous group in the world today and that is the group called Al-Qaeda The word Al-Qaeda means “the base” in Muslim. As an international terrorist organization led by Osama bin Laden. The group seeks to rid Muslim countries of western influence and replace them with fundamentalist Islamic regimes. Al-Qaeda grew out of the of the ashes of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1988, after it helped expel the Soviet

In order for the United States of America and its allies to live a life free of terrorist threats, they need to counter violent extremism and terrorism with swift and deliberate prevention efforts world-wide.

The history of terrorism can be traced back as far as the French revolution. Some of these acts of terrorism only seem as distant reminders of our past, but at the same time, are not a far cry from today’s brutal acts; and although these acts seem distant, it doesn’t also mean they are no longer in the thoughts of individuals in today’s time.

If anything is clear, al-Qaeda has a tremendous insulating capability. It is like a fungus that germinates through spores, reaching ever remoter places, ready to bloom when the conditions are right. While in reality it is probably not so simple, this is the crux of Sageman’s argument. Sageman contends that the current breed of al-Qaeda, in its “third wave…consists mostly of would-be terrorists, who…aspire to join the movement and the men they hail as heroes (emphasis added).” This new generation, riding the wave of Muslim condemnation of the Iraq War, in contrast to the previous two has, apart from the Iraq rage, neither the Mujahidin casus belli of the first generation, nor the expatriate marginalization of the second. Rather, the “tolerant, virtual environment of the Internet offers them a semblance of unity and purpose. Theirs is a scattered, decentralized social structure—a leaderless jihad (emphasis added).” It is important to note the italics. The words are “social” and
