There is a large profit that can result from drug trafficking, which could be one of the reasons behind the crime not always being viewed under a zero tolerance policy. The global crimes that have become some of the largest issues previously mentioned always make the implication that some sort of organized crime has occurred or is occurring. A problem that arises when organized crimes occur is that there are often “crooked” police officers who handle the law unfairly among certain suspects or criminals. Another issue in drug trafficking is that sometimes, groups of organized crimes all link to a business or business people. One other issue for drug and human trafficking crimes is border security and safety.
SEC/400 – Threat and Vulnerability Management Instructor: Dale Pocklington Week Three - Individual Assignment: Role of Homeland Security By: University Of Phoenix May 18, 2009 In this paper the author will describe the Role of the Department of Homeland Security, and the duty of this department plays in protecting private-sector infrastructure facilities, such as transportation systems, laboratories, Utility power plant facilities, and food stock.

After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 President George Bush the establishment of the Office of Homeland Security to organize homeland security efforts. The United States Department of Homeland Security is a department of the Federal Government with the primary responsibility of protecting the territory of the U.S. and outside the borders from acts of terrorism, natural catastrophic disasters and other emergency events. DHS further reduces America’s vulnerability to terrorism, protecting critical infrastructures, property and the economy, and further reducing damage and recovery from attacks that do take place.
Unit 3 Assignment 1 The Security Policy Framework (SPF) represents a new and innovative approach to protective security and risk management in government. The SPF has a solid policy basis, taking and adapting much of the Manual of Protective Security (MPS) and the Counter-Terrorist Protective Security Manual (CTPSM). Whilst much of the existing policy within those manuals has found its way into the new framework, it must be noted that the SPF represents a new approach. It is vital that organizations understand that the SPF cannot simply be applied as their own departmental security policy, but that it must be used, adapted and applied in framing departmental security policies to meet the specific business needs of the organization and its delivery partners. In general terms the framework is aimed primarily at Government Departments and Agencies in supporting its protective security and counter-terrorism responsibilities; however, it does have wider application.
For example, the Office of Homeland Security (2007) defines homeland security as, "a concerted national effort to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States, reduce America's vulnerability to terrorism, and minimize the damage and recover from attacks that do occur". The National Strategy for Home-land Security (Office of Homeland Security, 2002) provides a framework for implementing homeland security. The National Strategy contains four basic

If these critical infrastructures are destroyed or incapacitated, it would have a debilitating effect on our national public health and safety, national economic security, and our overall security. How the DHS engage private enterprises in the protection of critical infrastructure and key resources (CIKR). The Department of Homeland Security is ready to help public, private, and government sectors prepare and recover from any catastrophic event that may occur across the United States. They conduct assessments within communities in regards to the infrastructure to help businesses and local government officials decide where the resources are needed to enhance security prior to events and recovery after an event.

While Madison supported a strong central government, he also helped implement what are common separations of power and checks and balances. Originally a Federalist and author of many of the Federalist Papers along with colleagues such as John Jay and Alexander Hamilton, Madison was not only a scholar but a statesman that saw the dangers of a hard, ridged stance for federal government. Madison feared the likelihood of each state in the Confederacy having its own monetary systems and laws. He feared that bankruptcy from one state might seep to the next with a catastrophic result. He held a firm stance against treason and sedition.
The Democratic-Republicans sought to limit federal control and preferred local power as the dominant force. Chiefly, the emergence of the American two-party system arose from strongly opposed political views, but also developed out of experience and a struggle for power. As previously stated, the main reason for the development of the party system in the United States, or any political party for that matter, is a difference in beliefs on how a government should be operated. The Federalists, formed by Alexander Hamilton – Washington’s Treasury Secretary – in 1794, favored federalism with government having the power to control commerce, tax, declare war, and make treaties among other powers.
