Full textAbstract:
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimitedThe U.S. has become increasingly involved with failed and failing states since the end of the Cold War in the 1990s. Further, failed and failing states are forecast to remain a national security issue well into the future. United States involvement with failed and failing states has primarily focused around reconstruction and stability operations, and crisis management efforts. Previous reconstruction and stability efforts have been wrought with inefficiency and agency stovepipes. The United States believes a whole government approach is the solution to effective reconstruction and stability operations. While most agree, interagency cooperation is imperative to the whole government approach, interagency cooperation is difficult to achieve in practice. The United States State Department has been placed in charge of reconstruction and stability operations but has limited resources available. The Department of Defense is the only agency with the resources available. The Department of State and Department of Defense resources, organizational structure, and capabilities are compared. Reconstruction and stabilization efforts of Provincial Reconstruction Teams in Afghanistan and Iraq are examined. An analysis utilizing Game Theory is performed to determine key mechanisms increasing interagency collaboration during reconstruction and stability operations.

Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, there was concern among maritime security experts that terrorist or criminal organizations that wanted to do harm to the United States could exploit gaps that existed between the various government agencies responsible for maritime security. These gaps resulted from a lack of clear roles and responsibilities between the agencies where no one organization could easily be identified as having the lead over the other agencies across the range of maritime threat response actions. The Maritime Operational Threat Response (MOTR) Plan, the topic of this thesis, is an attempt to close the gaps by providing an effective framework to coordinate and utilize the unparalleled capabilities of the U.S. Government and enhance the security of the American public. The MOTR Plan is a Federal interagency process to achieve coordinated action and desired national outcomes. Before the creation of the MOTR Plan there was no formal interagency process to address the broad spectrum of maritime threats. The Presidential Directive (PD-27) Process was used in a limited number of cases, but lacked detailed guidance and a clear framework to coordinate interagency planning and response operations. Since its implementation in October 2005, the MOTR Plan has been successfully employed for hundreds of routine maritime threats and a number of low-frequency/high risk threats. These cases include drug and migrant interdiction, fisheries violations, bomb threats, radiation/nuclear alarm resolution, and piracy. Senior government leaders have heralded the MOTR Plan as a model plan for interagency coordination and cooperation. This thesis focuses on the MOTR Plan and whether it is effective at providing a framework and process to coordinate and leverage the authorities, competencies, and capabilities of the federal government agencies responsible for maritime security. The thesis also provides contextual information, including the importance and complexities of the maritime domain, the primary types of threats that the United States faces in the maritime domain, and the maritime security capabilities that it has to address them. The thesis also discusses maritime security interagency coordination before the MOTR Plan, focusing on the PD-27 Process, and the inadequacies of this process.

Full textAbstract:
CHDS State/LocalInteragency conflict between police and fire departments throughout the country has existed for many years and is generally attributable to competition for limited municipal dollars and overlapping areas of responsibility. New York City (NYC) is frequently cited as the most egregious example of this rivalry. The relationship between NYCâ s emergency response agencies, and the lack of integrated strategic planning which results, has many parallels to the situation that existed within the DoD from the years after WW II until the passage the Goldwater-Nichols Act in 1986. That act is widely credited with changing the culture of the DoD from one of service parochialism to one of jointness and allowing the military to seamlessly coordinate and integrate its war-fighting activities across service lines. This thesis recommends that NYC adapt several provisions of the Goldwater-Nichols Act to change the underlying attitudes and cultures of its first responder agencies. By encouraging its personnel to focus their planning, training, and operational activites on what benefits the City as a whole, as opposed to the individual agency to which they belong, the City will profit from the improved coordination, communication, and cooperation necessary to effectively prepare for and respond to emergencies of any magnitude.

Full textAbstract:
Protecting U.S. transportation hubs against a wide variety of security threats, while avoiding undue interference with the normal operations of the hubs, is one of the greatest challenges facing security agencies. The problem addressed in this study was the limited information on the contributing factors to seaport security. The purpose of this case study was to explore issues that can inhibit efficiency of security agency operation and collaboration and to identify actions that have enhanced collaboration. Based on theories of organizational development, leadership, and security tradecraft, this study examined the activities related to maintenance of security at a large California seaport. Research questions focused on the types of relationships that exist among supervisors and employees, how these relationships were formed, types of conflicts among organizations, and methods of task allocation among agencies. Individuals who worked for security agencies were randomly selected for participation (n =20). Data gathering was primarily through face-to-face interviews in an open-ended format and augmented by observations of people working within the research environment. An inductive approach to data collection, with open and axial coding, was used to identify themes and patterns. Key findings included themes of trust among seaport security personnel and threats such as smuggling, sabotage, and terrorism. Conclusions and recommendations may help security officials improve the efficiency and effectiveness of security resources. Positive social change may result from enhanced measures that increase security while avoiding threats to commercial activity and individual civil liberties.

The respondents of all groups indicate a clean, safe and good-quality environment as the main condition for creating a healthy city (p<0.05). In the opinion of politicians and directors (80 %) interagency cooperation is only partiallty sufficient while solving public health problems and its implementation on the local level is even weaker. Respondents indicated joint projects and programmes for sharing practice and experience as the main form of cooperation (p<0.05). The opinion of the majority ( of around 90 %) of the respondents of all the groups was that it is necessary to strengthen interagency cooperation in addressing public health problems and implementing health policy. The situation in implementing the policy of public health in the city municipality is not good: knowledge of the heads of individual departments of the administration on the health policy, its priorities and key strategic implementation directions is insufficient, there is a lack of the legal base for interagency...

Full textAbstract:
The September 11 terrorist attacks pointed out the lack of information sharing between law enforcement agencies as a potential threat to sound law enforcement in the United States. Therefore, many law enforcement agencies as well as the federal government have been initiating information sharing systems among law enforcement agencies to eradicate the information sharing problem. One of the systems established by Homeland Security is the North Central Texas Fusion Center (NCTFC). This study evaluates the NCTFC by utilizing user acceptance methodology. The unified theory of acceptance and the use of technology is used as a theoretical framework for this study. Within the study, user acceptance literature is examined and various models and theories are discussed. Furthermore, a brief information regarding the intelligence work done by law enforcement agencies are explained. In addition to the NCTFC, several major law enforcement information systems are introduced. The data for this study comes from the users of the NCTFC across the north central Texas region. Surveys and interviews are used to triangulate data. It is found in this study that performance expectancy and effort expectancy are important indicators of system use. Furthermore, outreach and needs assessment are important factors in establishing systems. The results of the study offer valuable input for NCTFC administrators, law enforcement officials, and future researchers.

Full textAbstract:
Climate change has begun to affect the frequency, intensity, and duration of weather related disaster events. This trend may foster a greater probability of encountering 2 or more disaster events simultaneously, increasing the potential to deplete emergency resources. Using Canadian forest fire management as a focal point, this research has determined the extent to which forest fire resource sharing (resources being equipment, fire fighter teams, planes, etc.) has been able to mitigate the impacts of simultaneous forest fire events induced by climate change. Provincial and territorial forest fire management agencies are responsible for forest fire suppression within their jurisdictions, but when fires exceed their suppression capabilities they may request resources from other agencies using resource sharing agreements including: Compact agreements with American States, other international agreements and agreements initiated through the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Center (CIFFC). If the potential for simultaneous forest fires is neglected, excess fire activity may overwhelm the resource sharing structure.
A historical analysis, 2 case studies, and a survey were employed to uncover information regarding simultaneous forest fires. Moreover, an examination of other resource sharing disciplines was used to uncover new ways of approaching resource sharing issues. The results of this study show that simultaneous fire events have overwhelmed the resource sharing system (during at least two years 1998 and 2003) and that modifications are needed to prepare for the potential increase in forest fire frequency.

This research is aimed to get an understanding of collaboration between non-profit organizations. There are three purposes of this research, (1). To understand the perceptions of non-profits organizations on home-based early intervention services. (2). To discover the situation of cooperation between non-profits organizations to one another. (3). To understand how non-profit organization view interagency cooperation. Qualitative research method was employed in this research. Interviews with five head person from the non-profits organization who provide the home-based early intervention services were conducted in order to collect the data for this research. Interview data were analyzed along with related documentation The finding of this research has the conclusion as below: 1. Using self-raised fund on home-based service comes into existence as the situation requires: “Free of Charge” is the first reason for home-based service using self-raised fund induces the motivation of usage. Second, the government has excessive restriction on “identify”, “budget/allowance cancellation” and it happens too often “shortage of funding” which restrains the service of organizations. Last, private organizations support funding generously and without limitation on “budget/allowance cancellation” that allow Organizations more flexibility on the type of the services they provide. Therefore organizations not only use self-raised funding on home-based service but other types of services as well. As a result come into existence as the situation requires. 2. Interagency cooperation and coordination is inevitable: The needs of families’ of children with developmental delay is various, therefore a services model can’t fit all. The current situation in Taiwan , not only lack of interagency cooperation and coordination, but the regional resources of early intervention are often short and also insufficient for the needs. Therefore, for protecting services receivers rights and interests, and for more flexible use on the insufficient resources, interagency cooperation and coordination on the use of resources and types of the services that they provide to the children with special needs and their family were need. 3. Interagency cooperation and coordination does not depend on unilateral efforts: It is difficult to practices interagency cooperation and coordination, however in order to provide better services this move is a must do It is important for all agencies to be aware of the importance of cooperation and coordination , in addition, the services receivers need to voice out their needs and bring everyone to the table in order to solve the complex situation like what they have. The following are suggestions and recommendations for practitioners based on the research results: 1. The government should play the role of a coordinator by legislating trans-disciplinary legal regulations and setting up a platform for easier interaction in the organizations. 2. Practitioners should be more open-minded and communicate with others working in the same field. They should empowerment with family. 3. Lastly, the paper proposes potential directions that future research can explore, such as implementing theoretical resources theory on a family-centered.

Full textAbstract:
Currently responsible for policing over one million citizens, the Calgary Police Service (CPS) has earned its reputation as a progressive law enforcement organization in part by focusing on the early recognition and acknowledgement of evolving crime trends. To maintain essential public trust CPS remains attuned to the constant shifting of legal and moral public accountability, an issue highlighted by judicial inquiries that have illustrated a consistent lack of police interagency cooperation. Since police are restricted by geographic jurisdictional boundaries, the answer to inter-jurisdictional challenges appears to be the timely sharing of intelligence, something the CPS has proposed through its newly developed Real Time Operations Centre (RTOC). This study investigated the question of how CPS might best develop an Alberta law-enforcement collaborative based upon the paradigm of a central real-time operations centre (RTOC), feasibility of this model, and potential challenges to its implementation. This study conducted qualitative action research with the leaders of all major law enforcement organizations in the Province of Alberta. Research data generated by one-on-one interviews with each participant was thematically analyzed to produce knowledge sufficient to plant the seeds of change for both organizational transformation and future inquiry. Study findings suggest it will be incumbent upon police leaders to create and develop the organizational social awareness necessary to enhance and leverage social capital essential to inter-agency cooperation and collaboration. Identifying positive aspects of a strong organizational culture will create a culture of well-being able to address crucial communication issues and the critical alignment of resources.

A leader-follower system is developed for cooperative transportation in this work. The main advantages are that interagent communication is not required and the reference trajectory of the payload can be modified by the leader in realtime, so that it can be applied to dynamically changing environment. To track the modified reference trajectory in realtime under the communication-free condition, the motion pattern of the leader-follower system is modeled as a nonholonomic system such that the system can be considered as a car-like robot. Controller is developed for the leader so that asymptotic tracking of the payload can be achieved. To eliminate the installation of force sensor, UKFs (unscented Kalman filters) are developed to estimate the forces applied by the leader and follower. Stability analysis is conducted to prove the tracking error of the closed-loop system. Simulations are demonstrated to evaluate the performance of the tracking controller.
