How Prepared Are State and Local Law Enforcement for Terrorism?

How Prepared Are State and Local Law Enforcement for Terrorism?

Quote from this RAND Research Brief:

"For many local law enforcement agencies, investing departmental resources in terrorism preparedness was a low priority compared with other agency needs. Still, after 9/11, about a quarter of local agencies (particularly those in large counties) increased agency spending or internally reallocated resources to focus on terrorism preparedness. But only about one-fifth received external funding to do this, raising concerns about what public safety trade-offs are being made at the local level to focus on terrorism preparedness."
