And it does this by conducting investigations and enforcing laws that deal with public health, order, and decency.
"Morals" and "decency" are not words one would expect to see in the core values of a secular institution like a police department, but they are definitely in line with the stated core beliefs of SLU. As stated previously, SLU has it basis in a strong Catholic ideology, which is permeated with morality and decency. Catholic teachings, which are at the center of the core values of SLU, teach a person to be a moral individual who acts with decency. While maintaining the core values of maintaining excellence, respecting the law, protecting communities, and acting with integrity, the Lubbock Police Department does not forget to maintain a code of moral conduct that also expects society to act within the norms of decency. In early 2011, the Lubbock Police Department uncovered a suspected terrorist who was involved in constructing an Improvised Explosive Devise. Through cooperation with state and federal law enforcement, the Lubbock Police Department apprehended the suspected terrorist and held him, foiling a major act of terrorism inside the United States. The multi-level, interagency approach taken by the United States after the attacks on 9-11, as well as the new focus of all law enforcement on homeland security seems to have had some successes.
One of the causes of the failure of the United States to detect and interdict the terrorists of 9-11 was its lack of cooperation between agencies, at all levels, as well as its inability to communicate between those agencies. Since that time the United States has completely redesigned its attitude toward homeland security, stressing the cooperation and communication between agencies, not only at the national level, but at all levels of government. There has also been a redirection in the focus of most government agencies, placing homeland security as one of their top priorities. For example, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, which one would think has little to do with stopping terrorism, actually engages in homeland security operations on a daily basis. Even individual states have engaged in preparations and operations involved in homeland security, especially through the state's police departments. The Michigan State Police recently conducted operations in cooperation with the FBI to stop a terrorist attack and apprehend the suspected terrorists. Because of the cooperation between state and federal law enforcement officers, the "Hutaree Militia" was prevented from staging devastating terrorist attacks.

Countermeasures After 911 Technology Without a doubt, September 11th changed a tremendous amount about how we live and about how safe (and unsafe) we feel. These attacks caused enormous changes and countermeasures regarding the way we travel and the way we interact with one another and the way in which we use technology. However, ever since the ten-year anniversary of 9/11 has come and gone, it begs to determine just how much
POST-9/11 Management OF U.S. AIRLINE INDUSTRY Strategic Management of the United States Airline Industry after the 9/11/2001 Terrorist Attacks Strategic Management of the United States Airline Industry after the 9/11/2001 Terrorist Attacks Airlines in the United States have a long, complicated history in terms of management strategy that includes alterations due to technological advances, bankruptcies, economic downturns, deregulation and even presidential intervention, but none of these forces had the power to both destroy and restructure
It is the harsh reality of life in post-9/11 America that the global terror continues to exact a high toll on American lives and interests at home and abroad, and the terrorist agenda continues to include attacks in the future that may involve weapons of mass destruction. Furthermore, these types of diminutions of basic constitutional rights are not unique in American history, and President Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas
Racial Profiling Since 911 The racial profiling implies the discrimination by police to detail a person as suspect basing on the racial manifestations. In the present days the process of racial profiling has changed to a great extent. (Harris, 58) The racial profiling, till the present period was indicated towards the practice of police dragging over the black male drivers discriminately on the empirically valid but morally denounced hypothesis that they
Terrorism Preparedness Since September 11, 2001, the United States has made a significant progress guiding against terrorist attacks using terrorism preparedness to forestall further terrorism attacks in the United States. Terrorism preparedness exercise is a broad range of response and preparedness program to support communities that might be affected by the terrorist attack. (National Commission on Terrorist Attacks, 2004). Typically, the U.S. government has implemented a range of program for terrorism preparedness
global terrorism since September 2011 needs to be based on hard facts and, unfortunately, September11 was so recent and so raw that much of our perspective on global terrorism as a result is skewed by pain and suspicion. Firstly, the essay, therefore, has to be based on facts as opposed to feelings. Secondly, one has to conceptualize 'terrorism' since it is a vague term and can refer to a myriad of
