This report presents the results of a 2002 survey conducted one year after the 9/11 attacks and just prior to the formation of DHS, with the goal of assessing how prepared state and local law enforcement agencies currently are for terrorism. This report, addresses five key issues of interest to ODP and DHS: the response experience of law enforcement and threat perceptions; the steps law enforcement has undertaken to counter the threat and to shore up vulnerabilities; law enforcement's support needs; how law enforcement is resourcing preparedness activities; and the relationship between perception of risk, funding, and preparedness.
