Why does a city police department even have a "homeland security" department? Isn't this just finding what they are looking for?
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> Why does a city police department even have a "homeland security" department? It looks like it's mimicking the NYPD's counterterrorism group [1]. The point of that group is to interface internationally. (It presumably also gets more leeway with surveillance.) Maybe this is the team that interfaces with the DHS's fusion centers [2]?
