PAD 668 - Role of Intelligence in Homeland Security

3 Credits

The intelligence failures of 9/11 and the Global War on Terrorism that followed increased national attention on the Homeland. Terrorism events in the United States and around the world have only heightened scrutiny of intelligence operations as they relate to and support homeland security measures. Large-scale natural and manmade disasters have further demonstrated the need for integration of the intelligence function into emergency management and response. This course will examine critical aspects of the Intelligence Community and its role in both homeland security and emergency management. The focus will be on the Emergency Manager's decision making process and the integration of intelligence support to that process.
Prerequisites: PAD 601, PAD 610, PAD 616, PAD 625, PAD 634, PAD 645, PAD 656, and BUS 530.
