I think one of the most important things they did was they Identified many problems and prioritized what people where stating. They listened to the people’s demands and started to make changes for the better according to them by improving on the way they present themselves to the community and by adding better technology and making 911 emergency services better. They also are redirecting the police mission and roles by reinforcing a more successful policies and teaching the most affective methods . They also made becoming a part of the “leadership” (a captain) more difficult just to ensure that only the most hardworking and best people where leaders. All of these are just some of the things they did but they all contributed to the change after 9/11.

law enforcement had a huge impact on what happened on 9/11. The level of communication went up in so many ways , the technology cops used to use to communicate improved in their favor and the citezens .One of the other things that changed was improving their presence in public to let the people know they were there.They just improved the way they used to present themselves than the way they used to before. They had so many things improving as time went by. Better leadership , more communication , alertness and keeping their eyes all over their surroundings. Another things that helped was better policies and methods (trainings). In my opinion we still have some stuff to work on to increase and maintain the safety of our county and cities, but as time goes by im sure were going to keep improving on protecting the citizens and cities around the U.S.

I think one of the important things they did was that they saw many problems in response to terrorism. They started to make changes for the better according to them by improving on the way they present themselves to the community and by adding better technology making 911 emergency services more modern and efficient. They reinforced better policies and teaching the most effective methods. They also made becoming a leader (a captain) more difficult just to ensure that only the most hardworking and loyal people where leaders. they also started terrorism response and prevention in police departments.they also began to preserve public trust. All of these are just some of the things they did but they all contributed to the change after 9/11.

The Dominant Issues. Based upon the number and nature (content) of responses, the dominant post 9-11 issues, needs and priorities are: terrorism/homeland security; resources; recruitment and selection; intelligence and information sharing; communications technology/ interoperability. This is what changed, they basically made new rules Legally Mandated Change. Changes that have occurred and are occurring are CEO/agency-initiated. Almost 84 percent of survey respondents report that changes have not been or are not legally mandated. The 16 percent that do report legal mandates refer to new laws; funding/appropriations; training; and interagency cooperation. Training is most common, cited by 24 of the 36 agencies that report legal mandates. No patterns emerge with regard to type of agency. Of 24 agencies that report 9-11 generated training mandates, 11 are agencies with 1,000 or more sworn officers.a lot of changes have happened due to the cause that the community has been through this crisis. Five questions were fashioned to assess how American law enforcement agencies are responding to forces of change. CEOs were asked to cite policies, programs, and other actions initiated in response to the forces of change in their environments that they consider to be promising or effective – Objective 2 of the project. Responses indicate a substantial level of activity, with distinct patterns, dominated by homeland security responses/actions. The results were very effective as they show us here on the post if 911. By reading this i have learned that the leaders of the community like, law enforcement, fire department etc... all change or try ti change for the better of the community because they have seen that what and how they are working is maybe not functioning well or not working out.

I think one of the most important thing they did was changing the policies of law enforcement roles.Before the terrorism attack was happened, some people believed that sudden attack won't happened in such a rural country but after the attack had happened people understand how important was a homeland security for everybody.In order to made it strong,they've required the leaders of all law enforcement to be a smart person who had "plan game".They also started to cared more about the local because the terrorism attack always happened in the local street where many people were in there and the local police were the most important group since they were the one who had to decided what they should have done for the best of all the people in those dangerous situations.They never cared too much about the training of law enforcement in situation like this before but after the attack, they have train them more educated. Even though the had many plans, they were not succeed easily but by little by little they had form their country security into a more high homeland security.

Although a plethora of things have changed in police departments and law enforcement since post 9/11 but I believe that the major or the most drastic was the improvement of their image and the way they did things. For example the way they changed their leadership requirements making them more strict to allow for better community safety and preserving their core mission.they also started to focus more on their budget and resource management instead of public trust although it still being very important.

I think one of the most dramatic changes that police departments have made in the post 9/11 world was mainly with technology and security. Although such a tradegy happened 17 years ago, it helped shaped law enforcement into what it is today. Incidents like these help build trust and a better bond between law enforcement and citizens because we depend on them during rough times and they show us why we should. Before 9/11, having security in our every day life was not common, but now, we have them in most stores, schools, workplaces, etc. For example, we have TSA at the airport to make sure no contraband is being brought in or taken out from the airport. Since then, police officers have gotten better at the way they present themselves in public and at making their presence known. I wouldn’t say they didn’t care, more like they lacked knowledge and weren’t prepared for a situation like this, but they were lineant and didn’t stress how important training was back then. Thankfully, they learned new training tactics and reinforced better policies. They also became strict with leadership requirements to preserve their core mission so only those worthy of the position can be leaders. Better training led to better leadership skills, new technology led to better communication and 9/11 resulted in them having to become more alert and aware of their surroundings. Even though gaining the public’s trust is very crucial, learning how to focus on their budget and managing their resources was more beneficial. Although all these great changes have been made, we still have more to improve on in making this country a better and safer place to live in.

I think one of the most dramatic changes that police departments made was new technology and evolving in security. Before the event happened, in airport security people didn’t even have to take off their shoes. They also evolved by listening to the problems that the people were responding to the terrorism attack. In the police academy’s they taught them more effective methods for terrorism upcomings. Another way police are evolving is by communication, it is very important for people to communicate for the safety of others. Police today and other citizens are learning and preparing for who knows what else will happen.

I believe that the way of policing an area or county or state or even nationally has come from what happened seventeen years ago. The police have identified what they need to do to be able to protect the people of this country from the incident in 2001. They are able to make up for the lack of protection they had for those couple of hours. Yes there are a few things police don’t catch but they try their very hardest to catch as many criminals or people that need to be arrested. They are able to do that because of the extensive training each individual officer receives throughout the career of the officer/s. The extensive training also brings up a point to the public that the people protecting our country are really good at what they do and should keep striving to get better so that even less mistakes are made when the people are counting on them to do what they are supposed to do to keep them safe or the community around them safe from all harm. I also believe that the academies around the nation are giving the cadets information about protection where they might not stress the importance of keeping everyone safe including themselves. Every one wants to go home to their families after a long day of work at the end of the work day. The extensive training because of the terroist attacks can help better that protection among that kind of work. Now police can’t stop accidents from happening because that’s just unlucky and uncontrollable. But that’s why they have the training they do so they can be able to control the planned stuff and stop it from happening.

I believe that the most important changes that happened was the improvement in communication and advanced technology developed in order to help protect the safety of citizens such as Homeland Security. Homeland security programming should be incorporated into the totality of the police mission as seamlessly as is possible. Many, probably most, terrorism-engendered issues simply have not been dealt with before. Accordingly, state, county, municipal and special clientele law enforcement agencies have no choice but to develop and adapt new concepts and practices. Substantial infrastructure and a historical and contemporary body of intellectual property are in place in virtually every agency to meet development challenges. While first-time inventions seem required, existing crime prevention and control concepts and strategies, regional arrangements, intelligence-led policing, investigations and patrol capacities, and community policing and problem solving programming and skills are among the infrastructure capacities that should and will be exploited and fine-tuned to address domestic security issues successfully in coming years. The numbing and confusing immediate impact of 9-11 on the collective police psyche has lifted and responses are clarifying. Terrorism prevention and response planning and programming is surfacing in many law enforcement agencies. Much of it is regionally networked and information and intelligence focused. The field is poised for a more aggressive response. There is widespread concern that the monumental public trust accomplishments of the past decade or so will erode as homeland security priorities take center stage. This concern is linked to diminishing resources and erosion of federal funds for community policing officers, school resource officers, and other staples of policing.

One of the most dramatic changes that happened after the 9/11 attack was the way that Law enforcement improved their relationship with the people and the community. Before the attack, even though it should’ve been, Law Enforcement wasn’t expecting an attack as big as 9/11. Causing them to be in shock and baisically unprepaired for the outcome of the attack. They made their relationship stronger by having briefings and speaking to the public about the attack. They also dramatically changed Law enforcement and their roles by reinforcing stronger policies. By doing so, this helps police missions to be more efficient and prepared for future attacks and unexpected situations. Policies enforces more practices. Another important change are leadership requirements. Leadership advance new knowledge and maintains integrity. Going back to what I stated earlier, public trust is an important need. After the attack, crime rates went up. Society feels as if they cannot trust police because of this. They feel as if they weren’t protected enough and something could’ve been prevented. The police and Law Enforcement are trying to gain it back. Many people were worried that the lack of trust with Law enforcement will cause other priorities to fade away. Meaning they will only focus on the bond of society instead of things like terrorism attacks and riots. Another dramatic change I believe would be training through out the academy’s. Training got increasingly more difficult after the attack and they try to prepare their future police officers for outcomings like 9/11.

I believe that the biggest change in the police force post 9/11 was the inclusion of communication. The police considered the word of the public and listened to what it has to say. I think the tragedy of 9/11 brought the police and the public together and forced them to create more trust. Communication helps the police prevent and stop crimes in progress. The more communication between not only the public and the police, but the police force as a whole. The communication between police officers helps ensure the safety of the public along with the police force. Today’s technological developments have helped to police for to become more efficient. One example is body cams, now, it’s not just the officers word against the civilian, now there’s proof. Along with the proof comes trust because the police are pretty much forced to tell the truth due to the amount of surveillance they have in them their whole shift. Technology has also helped save officers lives through communications, like the radio, it makes calling for backup easier and more efficient. In conclusion, the biggest change the police have made due to 9/11 is the communication. The increase in communication, helps build trust between the public and the police force. Another good thing about better communication is how much it helps the police from dealing with criminals, to calling for backup.

The post 9/11 project was the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), the National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA), the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), the Major Cities Chiefs Association, and the Police Foundation and the pursed 4 main objectives.

I think policing has changed post 9/11 by a lot. Uniformed officers didn’t really think or have the thought in mind about terrorism. Post 9/11 really oitnthat thought theough there skulls. Terrorist can come from anywhere including inside the U.S. one change or improvement made to policing was they recruited more local police officers within a city. The more officers hired, the more officers present on a shift, the safer the citizens feel in a neighborhood or community. Since 9/11 was unexpected current officers on duty couldn’t prepared for the tragedy. Homeland security was also established at airports. Airport security doubled and was trained more for situations similar. Also the security procedures were changed as well. As off right now at most airports they’ve changed the way they check your ID. You have to pass through a screening get a card and you can only board your flight if you pass your screening. On the other hand main policing has changed drastically over the years from standard protocall to the changing of paint jobs on pt cruisers. Another change is the training. There are elected captains to make sure only the best of police officers are on the streets (leadership). Every police officer is trained on how to be a normal officer and for terroist attack’s. Worldwide policing is evolving one step at a time. I think America’s finest are doing a great job in keeping us safe right here in local towns. It takes a lot to ensure the safety of a community on the daily from traffic stops on the side of the road to searching houses for illegal drugs.

I think one of the most dramatic changes that police departments made was new technology, evolving in communication, and security. It is very important for people to communicate for the safety of others. Think about if someone breaks into your house and destroys multiple things in your home. What is the the first thing you do? You call the police, now think of it as America is the home and the planes broke in and destroyed the twin towers. The first thing everyone did was call for help the communication systems were overwhelmingly busy. But that was 17 years ago, technology has changed, back then the first iPhone wasn’t released yet. Now in 2018, we on the 10th IPhone and that is 10 new communication systems. Also the police have a new ways of security, 911 caused and eye opening experience for law enforcement. Think about it 20 years ago airports were a piece of cake to get through, but now it feels like you have to exposed your entire soul to airport security. You have to take off your shoes,belt, and take everything out of your pockets. All because of this awful tragedy in 2001, these are the most dramatic changes in police departments.

Since 9/11, law enforcement has changed and evolved. Officers are now making their presence more known to the public to try to prevent any crime and to be able to respond at a moments notice, and are watching their surroundings more for anything that might be suspicious. People stepping up in leadership roles helped by having a plan and a response to all the chaos that was happening. The amount of security in airports help by possibly preventing 9/11 to happen again. Communication helped so that people knew where first responders were. All of these changes helped deal with I think the most dramatic change was the change in leadership because without it things wouldn’t be organized and nobody would know what to do. By having leadership it helped in times of chaos by evaluating the problem at hand and finding a solution while staying calm.

One of the things that the police department made better since 9/11 is learning to be more productive during certain situations and training there officers better. They have also learned to deal with terrorist attacking and how to prevent a majority of people getting hurt during the attacks.
