  1. Preventing Terrorism: What Role for Local Police?Ronald V. Clarke Graeme Newman

  2. Background • Guide commissioned by COPS office • Local police role in terrorism • Three components: • Protecting targets • Take them out • First responders • Purpose of this workshop • What would be useful for local police

  3. Our Focus • NOT taking them out • Limited role for local police • Principally for FBI/CIA etc • NOT first response - already well covered • Protecting vulnerable targets • Identifying them • Prioritizing them for protection • Protecting them

  4. Questions for discussion • Agree with our focus – protecting targets? • How have you set about this task? • What kinds of targets have you identified? • With whom have you partnered? • What measures have you considered? • What assistance have you sought? • What changes have you made? • What are your plans and what timeframe?

  5. Our approach • Book: “Outsmarting Terrorists” • Not the COPS funded guide • National level strategy for protecting targets • Outside attackers vs. home grown • Analyzing characteristics of attractive targets (buildings and structures) • Similar to identifying “hot products” (CRAVED) • EVIL DONE

  6. EVIL DONE • Exposed • Vital • Iconic • Legitimate • Destructible • Occupied • Near • Easy

  7. EXPOSED • Any target that sticks out, attracts attention • Twin Towers World Trade Center compared with chemical factory in an industrial suburb

  8. VITAL • Infrastructure • Electricity grids, water supply, air traffic systems, telecommunications

  9. ICONIC • Symbolic of America • White House, Statue of liberty, • Represents government • Federal building Oklahoma City

  10. LEGITIMATE • Will the attack invite moral condemnation? • Very difficult judgment for terrorists

  11. DESTRUCTIBLE • Twin towers – took two attempts • Truck bombing • Airplanes as missiles

  12. OCCUPIED • Small targets packed with people • Suicide bombers seek crowded busses, cafes or subway systems • Large targets with many people • Twin Towers, office buildings

  13. NEAR • Criminals operate close to home, so do terrorists • IRA mounted many thousands more attacks in Northern Ireland than on British mainland

  14. EASY • No barriers, lax security • Truck bomb parked 8 feet from Murah building

  15. Questions for discussion • Agree with our focus – protecting targets? • How have you set about this task? • What kinds of targets have you identified? • With whom have you partnered? • What measures have you considered? • What assistance have you sought? • What changes have you made? • What are your plans and what timeframe? • How useful is EVIL DONE?
