Symposium on Police and Policing in the Age of Terrorism and Beyond

NIJ and the Israeli Ministry of Public Security have formed a partnership to build and share knowledge about the effects of global terrorism on law enforcement and policing methods. The partners are especially interested in understanding how terrorism affects the patrol officer on the street.

A two-day binational symposium took place in Jerusalem on October 23, 2007, jointly headed by the Chief Scientist’s Bureau in the Israeli Ministry of Public Security and the National Institute of Justice. The symposium, titled To Protect and to Serve: Police and Policing in the Age of Terrorism and Beyond, focused on the effects of global terrorism on police and policing.
