· Preventing terrorist incidents
Protecting the American people from terrorist threats is the reason why the Department of Homeland Security was created and remains the nation’s highest priority. Terrorist tactics continue to evolve, and we must keep pace with what is going on in the world today. Terrorists seek sophisticated means of attack, including chemical, biological, radio logical, nuclear and explosive weapons, and cyber-attacks. Threats may come from abroad or can be even homegrown. You can help reduce the chance of a terrorist attack by keeping an eye out for suspicious situations, such as an unattended suitcase or someone with a conspicuous level of interest in the security of a building. Always be vigilant in public areas and always know your surroundings. Be extra cautious in places with large numbers of people, especially in the metro and train stations, festivals, concert venues, and shopping centers. Always check the location of the emergency exits in every building you enter. Know your escape route. Never leave your belongings unattended. Always report suspicious situations to the proper authorities.
· Defining an Organizational Strategy
An organizational strategy is the sum of the actions a company intends to take to achieve long-term goals. Together, these actions make up a company's strategic plan. Strategic plans take at least a year to complete, requiring involvement from all company levels. You want to make sure that you have designated person to drive the strategy. Always educate your personnel make sure that they know their role in case of an attack. By creating an organizational strategy, you're establishing the priorities and setting the direction for your business. It defines your view of success and also prioritizes the types of activities that will make that view a reality.
· Responding to a critical incident
The key to developing an effective incident response plan is the understanding that it’s not a matter of “if” an incident occurs, it’s a matter of when. Employees should be trained on how to respond to workplace incidents so that they know what to do when the inevitable occurs. Proper training and incident response planning is very important on how to survive. An incident response plan is a set of written instructions that outline a method for responding to and limiting the damage from workplace incidents. Every company should have a written incident response plan and it should be accessible to all employees, either online or posted in a public area of the workplace. Incident response plans should be specific to different incident types. A Critical Incident Response (CIR) intervention can provide psychological support to people who have been directly or indirectly affected by the event. The intervention is designed to normalize responses and where possible prevent abnormal reactions such as Acute Stress Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. PeopleSense psychologists believe in supporting individuals to return to normal functioning as soon as practical after an incident.

.Defining an organizational strategy
Educated the community about its role and the departments initiatives.
. community policing principles can help law enforcement
.create a counterterrorism role within the department.
These three strategies seemed to be the best in this category because readiness is always the key to success when It comes to being prepared. These three bullets don’t only ensure that the department is ready in case something occurs but also the community.
Building Organizational abilities
.keep officers up to date with the information they receive
.Train officers
.conduct training in large groups
These three bullets ensure that officers not only have the information that they need but the training as well to always be in a ready status incase an attack occurs.
Preventing Terrorist Incidents
.regularly assess your community
Reach out to local businesses
Collaborate with other emergency response teams
This is training for everyone that could be involved if an attack was to occur having open communication with everyone can lead to a better readiness status.
Preparing for a Critical Incident,
Learn from other agencies
Develop strong relationship with other emergency response teams
Choose a lead agency
These points ensure that there is decency and order in the way we handle an attack in case one occurs. Training with other agencies ensures that the terrorist training we receive is the same across the counties and not just for one area.
Responding to a Critical Incident,
.create a method for easy identification
Create a system to keep officers updated
Check officers to prevent fatigue
These points not only ensure that the community is being taken care of but also the officers that are assigned to take care of this task at hand. Their health and awareness should be our number one priority so making sure they are rested and updated on the latest information is a must.
