Protecting Americans in the 21st Century - Communicating Priorities for 2012 and Beyond
This resource has two purposes. First, the paper
will add to the continuing dialogue between the
member associations of the National Homeland
Security Consortium (the Consortium) and
leaders of national homeland security policy
and strategy efforts. This document builds
upon the findings and recommendations of
the Consortium’s 2008 and 2010 white papers,
which raised awareness of a number of policy
challenges and offered many potential solutions
and recommendations. This paper also highlights
the success, and future potential, of collaborative
policy discussions.
The second purpose of this paper is to illuminate
several growing and emerging areas of concern
that the Consortium believes require the focus
of the nation’s homeland security leaders and
influencers. Some of these issues are well known
while some are just beginning to rise on the
horizon of the nation’s policy and strategy
discourse.
