HLS 460 Intelligence and Law Enforcement
Intelligence gathering and law enforcement elements play a critical role as first responders. This course will analyze the fundamentals of how information is collected from all unclassified sources such as public media, digital electronic systems, individuals, and satellites, and how such information is analyzed into intelligence or counterintelligence data and proactively shared by the various intelligence agencies domestic and foreign, in order to respond to natural or man-made catastrophic emergencies/disasters in the United States. The course will provide disaster management crises scenarios and simulation exercises to demonstrate law enforcement jurisdiction and actions at the federal, state, and local levels.
