 | Paul Kurtz -- Washington D.C. USA, Contact for fee schedule
Since 9/11, federal, state and local governments and the private sector have struggled to define roles and responsibilities in protecting the homeland. At the federal level, the struggle has been complicated by new bureaucracies, clashing cultures, law and politics. At the state and local level, there is a search for federal leadership and funding, without unnecessary strings. The private sector—which owns and operates the vast majority of the critical infrastructure in the U.S—is prepared to help but needs a level playing field among peers and resists new regulation. Between all levels, information sharing is an agreed necessity, but progress has been limited.
