Terrorism and Public Safety Policing

A Pragmatic Answer to the Systematic Change Already Underway

The trends, data, and battle-tested logic do not lie. A "perfect storm" of extremist ideologies is on the horizon that threatens to challenge the current state of public safety—forcing police chiefs, public administrators, and security professionals to rethink their approach to policing the streets of America. Professor James Pastor, a recognized authority on policing and security, draws on three decades of experience fighting on the front lines against domestic terrorism to identify key indicators that point to an increase in extremist violence and terrorist threats right here at home.

Merging public policy analysis with an understanding of human nature, Terrorism and Public Safety Policing: Implications for the Obama Presidency provides a unique and thorough examination of the current state of policing and reviews recent events to identify troublesome trends and potential vulnerabilities that must be addressed. This forward-looking guide introduces a new model of policing—Public Safety Policing—that accounts for the changes already underway and offers an organized and proactive response to the new breed of problems on the horizon.

Complete with supporting statistics, graphics, and photos, this book provides a realistic look into the future of law enforcement, public safety, and private security. By providing a narrative of the important decisions that need to be made, the author guides policymakers, police administrators, and security professionals with the vision needed to anticipate predicaments on the horizon and the tools needed to address them effectively.

Security Management Reviews Dr. Pastor's new Book:

Pastor posits that one consequence of the changes is that the traditional law enforcement and security missions are becoming intertwined. He envisions and advocates a new model of public-safety policing in which private security forces carry out certain community security and safety functions in partnership with public law enforcement personnel. This approach, he argues, would allow sworn government officers to focus on more pressing requirements. Pastor shows that an increasing number of larger agencies are already engaged in developing and implementing private security and policing functions as part of their operations...

Security professionals would do well to read and heed the message Pastor is sending. The future of security depends on how well it is integrated into public policy. Public-safety policing will be an increasingly major part of that integration. Read Security Management Review
