Not Fallujah, Not Ferguson, Not Mayberry: Reconciling Community Policing, Police Militarization, and the Trans-National Terror Threat
Abstract
The terrorist attack on 11 September, 2001 initiated numerous changes in American law enforcement and military forces. One such change has been the provision of federal funding and acquisition assistance to equip local police with military equipment in anticipation of its use in combating terrorism. The current national dialogue on police militarization primarily focuses on these tangible signs of changes to police forces while neglecting the more important doctrinal implications. Specifically, no nationally agreed upon standard or doctrine exists for a local police forces responsibilities in combating terrorism.
