The 9/11 commission report begins by explaining what happened on September 11, 2001 and explores the history of modern terrorism, with an emphasis on the roots of al-Qaeda and its leader, Osama bin Laden, the perpetrators of the 9/11 plot. It is impossible to watch the unfolding of dramatic crimes without seeing the hourly reports by a stable of law enforcement commanders around the media outlets while several differing agency personnel give updates. The investigations are usually those that cross jurisdictions and statutory authorities and, by their very nature, extremely complex. Back in the day, it was not unusual for a telephone call to be exchanged and often “turf battles” were conducted as citizens waited for results. The backstory of …show more content…
Law Enforcement is making increases in technology use and each agency has their own expertise, budget, equipment and information that another agency may not have available to them. That is why it is imperative that there be little to no ambiguity when working with other agencies. Some issues that may arise are jurisdiction and who has the authority to make final decisions. I see interagency cooperation as one of the most valuable tools administrators and anyone working in an area of dual jurisdiction can have. The necessity of each agency to maintain its own identity is high, because each agency will have its own SOPs they need to follow, along with specific legal guidelines. If the agencies loose their own identity, and operate under cooperating agencies protocols rather than their own; particularly in law enforcement, due process could be violated and the entirety of what they are attempting to achieve could be compromised. The construct of good interagency cooperation is similar to the construct of federalism: each …show more content…
It is important that each agency has an open communication with the other one, especially now when there is so much crime and terrorism. Inter agency cooperation is extremely important. It can prevent duplication of work, provide expertise in areas that one agency may possess over another, and foster a common goal and support system for individuals involved. Agencies working together to support and enhance one another, fostering open and consistent communication, allows for a better delivery of services. Another concern that law enforcement agencies may encounter when addressing the issue of information sharing the thought of to many people having access and exposure to classified information. Some agencies may feel that there is a certain standard and clearance that must be met before information can be shared which could hinder an investigation but is also a precaution that we must take. There must be a balance and trust that must be established, which is very difficult but ultimately the security of our nation and the public should subside any of those notions especially in the event of an emergency such as a terrorist attack. Interagency cooperation can only be successful if the leaders involved can play nice with one another and focus on provided the best

Why 9/11 Happened Essay

The attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001 were the direct result of the failure of US agencies, ranging from the White House to airport security, to recognize vulnerabilities present in the various symptoms.
