Overview: This paper features a discussion covering a wide range of homeland security issues related to law enforcement. It mainly focuses on interdiction of terrorists before they can commit terrorist acts which are among the most cost-effective means of dealing with terrorism. It also discusses why balancing the need to protect the country from attack and the need to protect citizens from unwarranted police attention is a difficult, ongoing undertaking. It explains why the appropriate roles of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies in addressing terrorism are still in a state of some flux, and why effective sharing of information and intelligence between law enforcement agencies remains a serious problem.
