About the Course/Eligibility
Local, state, tribal and federal
government agencies and the private sector are at the forefront of our
nation's homeland security mission. Being at the forefront in a rapidly
changing environment requires continuous education for our nation's homeland
security leaders. All require a deeper understanding of the current and
emerging homeland security issues, public policy debates, the terrorist
threat and evolving best practices. The Naval Postgraduate School's Center
for Homeland Defense and Security in partnership with the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security's National Preparedness Directorate, FEMA provides the
educational opportunity for our nation's homeland security leaders to
develop the strategies, policies and organizational elements needed to
defeat terrorism in the United States.
NOTE: Candidates are to apply directly to the college
the school will make the final determination.
This program consists of four modules
beginning with foundational aspects of homeland security and the threats,
proceeding to describe the nature of the threats, legal and cultural aspects
of preventing and preparing for the threats, the collaborations necessary to
effectively manage the information sharing, threat recognition, protection
measures, and plans in preparation for action.
Each of the one-week seminars will
offer presentations on selected topics around leading in networks, and the
nature and scope of the Homeland Security issues which are used to assess
the strategic application of the resources of the local, state, tribal, and
federal jurisdictions to address those issues. Seminars will be conducted on
such topics as intelligence, critical infrastructure, border/immigration,
threat recognition, crisis and risk communications, incident management and
fear management as well as emerging homeland security issues. All of the
topics will be discussed on a strategic, policy, and organizational design
level with particular attention to intergovernmental planning challenges.
The participants will consider complex issues and case studies, and work
through problems that enable them to strengthen working relationships across
regions, agencies, and local-state-federal jurisdictional and private sector
lines.

Selection Procedures
The selection criteria look at the
relevancy and level of applicants' positions and homeland security
responsibilities and the homeland security experience and knowledge they
will bring to the program. This is very important since the sessions are
facilitated roundtable discussions and debates where participants learn from
one another. In addition, a major objective of the program is to establish
relationships between executives across disciplines, agencies and levels of
government so that they can utilize the network to develop new homeland
security policies, strategies and plans to solve problems. Therefore, the
selection criteria will also look at the potential benefit of relationship
building to the applicant.
Please note that submitting an application does not indicate acceptance into
the program. Each complete application will be reviewed and evaluated using
an objective, weighted system assessing the background, credentials, and
experiences against the knowledge, skills, and abilities associated with the
graduate coursework. Applicants will be notified of their status once the
admissions committee makes its recommendation.
Once a member has been
selected to go the member will need to forward the acceptance letter to
CG-133.
Selectees will be required to sign a
Continued Service Agreement
(pages 4 & 5).
