The Center for Public Protection focuses on enhancing the capabilities and readiness of state
and local public safety agencies to handle both traditional and emerging threats, including acts
of terrorism, mass casualty incidents, natural disasters, cyber crime, and threats to
infrastructure security.
We focus on building strong, successful partnerships among all levels of government to protect the
American public from natural and man-made threats. The Center staff has assessed major incidents
for “lessons learned” and developed strategic task forces to improve public safety and disaster
response. Experience in this field is invaluable in studies dealing with unified command,
technology insertion and communications interoperability. Experience in both the public and the
private sectors allow us to provide systems architecture for civilian agency and DoD interface.
We also provide risk assessment and mitigation planning for a wide range of clients as well as
support for homeland security policy development.
