The evaluation designs for generalist practice are broken down into five parts that is discussed in this chapter. These techniques are helpful when working with client systems. The first one is the single-subject design. This design determines whether or not an intervention is successful. (Kirst-Ashman & Hull, 2015) It focuses on families, a group or a large system. Next is the goal-attainment scaling, it is a method used when achievement of the goal is sufficiently important to be used as the primary outcome criterion. (Kirst-Ashman & Hull, 2015) Next is the task-achievement scaling, it is a method of evaluating the degree to which an identified set of tasks has been accomplished. (Kirst-Ashman & Hull, 2015) Next is the client satisfaction

The September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center spawned the formation of different tactics and strategy on countering terrorism. One of the plans is to create a Fusion Center. There were plans and trainings in place prior to the attacks in 2001, however the information gathered were not shared or utilized properly. Fusion Centers were established across the country between 2003 to 2007 by local, state and federal law enforcement.

The main intention of fusion centers has been called into question, especially because it is being identified as violating people’s civil liberty. Fusion center where taking a preemptive approach to the response of intelligence gathered, meaning that law enforcement is conducting unlawful monitoring of proposed suspects without any reasonable cause (Taylor & Russell, 2012). According to Mike German and Jay Stanley (2008), Title 28, Part 23 of the Code of Federal Regulations, states that law enforcement agencies:

Fusion Center was established as the bridge between federal, state and local law enforcement. The need for information sharing among federal, state and local enforcement was established after September 11 attack. Fusion Centers " primary goals are maintaining situational awareness with the state and region, identifying and anticipating both criminal and non criminal threats, and facilitating interagency communication and coordination activities based on these assessment. The analysis and use of the information and intelligence lies at the heart of their activities or should enabling the organization to better define and achieve their varied goals"(Joyal, 2012). Fusion center plays a vital role in enabling effective communication of locally

SAMHSA works throughout the country, including localities, states, counties, and territories to deliver behavioral health services (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2017). The state’s role includes choosing and demanding what services are offered to the individuals in that area, promote and ensure rules and other demands for the delivery of mental health, substance abuse services, and work together with local governments to reduce these types of illnesses, and oversee the health care delivery overall within this service statewide (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2017).

The five-day SAV was very productive in establishing direct relationships and understanding the religious support in the AOR. We meet with the 1-228 and JTF-B Unit Ministry Teams (UMTs). We have the opportunity meet and welcome the incoming 1/228 AVN REG Chaplain and farewell the outgoing Chaplain.

I think the best way to utilized them is working together, like the Fusion Centers, whose goal is to fuse and share information at the federal, state, and local’s levels. According to the 2010 National Security Strategy, the federal government must continue to integrate and leverage fusion centers to enlist all of our intelligence, law enforcement, and homeland security capabilities to prevent acts of terrorism on American soil. Fusion centers provide a mechanism through which the federal government, SLTT, and private sector partners come together to accomplish this purpose. “Fusion centers, recommended by the 9/11 Act, are facilities owned by state and local governments where federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial governments as well as the owners of critical infrastructure come to share information about terrorists threats, criminal activities, and other hazards” (Logan, Gregory 2010).
