As you may recall from the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, the role of the local Boston Police Department was far more extensive than the “getting coffee for federal agents” that TV police dramas sometimes portray. It was a true partnership between local and federal agencies, working hand-in-hand to protect the local community and potentially the entire country from initially unknown enemy. The police role in homeland security is comprised of four sectors or systems.
- Write a 700–1,050 word paper explaining these four sectors or systems of the police role in homeland security and apply them to what the Boston Police Department did in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing.
- Provide at least one example of how the Boston Police Department performed each of these four sectors or systems of the police role in homeland security during the investigation of the Boston Marathon bombing.
- Format your work consistent with APA guidelines.
- Include a title and reference page.
- Cite a minimum of two sources within the body of your paper using in-text citations where appropriate
