    Homeland Security
    Purpose
    This paper will afford you the opportunity to research 3 agencies involved in Homeland
    Security. If you follow the required format and write a well-researched paper, you will
    learn a great deal about 3 agencies of your choice, and attain a good grade.
    General Instructions
    The completed research paper should be typed in MS Word only, 12 point font, doublespaced format, approximately 2000 – 3000 in length (not counting the bibliography page).
    Additionally, this paper will be at least 85% original thought (according to Turnitin
    evaluation). It is expected that you will devote a great deal of initiative toward producing
    a quality product worthy of the high academic standards established at Saint Leo
    University. This research paper will represent 25% of the final course grade. You may
    NOT use a paper you have previously submitted to Saint Leo or elsewhere, even if it is
    your own work. This is to be an original paper. Hang in there, you will really learn about
    three agencies if you research conscientiously!
    Citation Format
    You will utilize exclusively the APA style (and NO Wikipedia!). You can find many
    resources for APA, including our university’s Library. Go to www.saintleo.edu/Library,
    click on Research & Writing Help, then Citation Help and choose APA. There is also an
    APA Guide under Resources in the Course Menu. Topic
    “National Security” and “Homeland Defense” are topics that saturate the media, consume
    much of our intelligence and investigative resources, and concern all Americans. One of
    the keys to effective Homeland Defense is the integration of our law enforcement and
    intelligence assets at all levels: federal, state, and local.
    Your assignment is to comprehensively research three (3) agencies involved in Homeland
    Defense, and write your paper on these agencies, following the format described in
    Section 2 below. The agencies are to be:
    1 Federal (but NOT the FBI)
    1 State
    1 Local (as follows)
    A. Federal: Any law enforcement or intelligence or military agency (BUT NOT
    THE FBI) involved in Homeland Security.
    B. A State Law Enforcement Agency: State Police agency (e.g. New Jersey State
    Police, Florida Department of Law Enforcement), or National Guard
    C. Local: Municipal or County Police (Tampa P.D., Pasco County Sheriff, Seattle
    Police, etc.).
    Research Paper Structure
    Your paper is to be structured as follows for each of the 3 agencies (mandatory):
    1. NAME of AGENCY (e.g. LAPD)
    a. Jurisdiction (What area does it police?)
    b. Size (How many members? Sworn and unsworn?)
    c. Missions (What does the agency say are its responsibilities?)
    2. ROLE IN HOMELAND DEFENSE (a review of the agency’s web site is a good
    place to start)
    a. What does the agency itself say about its own role in Homeland Defense? 3
    b. What do other sources say? (For example, news articles)
    3. SUMMARIZE AND DISCUSS at least 3 cases in which Homeland Defense issues
    have arisen in one or more of your selected agencies (obtain from news media research,
    agency web site, or direct contact with agency public affairs office.). Examples include:
    a. Arrests of terrorists
    b. Interdiction of terrorist plans
    c. Seizure of terrorist supplies or materials
    d. Successful cooperation with other U.S. or foreign agencies
    NOTE: You only need 3 stories from any combination of your agencies; not 3 stories for
    each.
    4. CORE VALUES OF EACH AGENCY What are the CVs of each of your agencies?
    (Some agencies have Mission Statements instead.)
    a. List the Core Values. (or similar statement that the agency has chosen about
    itself)
    b. Discuss how the Core Values of each of the three agencies compare with the
    SLU Core Values.
    c. How do the Core Values affect the balancing of the agencies’ missions to
    safeguard our nation with America’s traditional and constitutional respect for
    individual liberties?
    Reminder: The Core Value discussion is not to be an after-thought at the end of the
    paper. I want to see thoughtful insight applied to the application of Core Values to your
    topic.
