Professor Rascoff discusses the proper role of local law enforcement in domestic-intelligence gathering to combat “homegrown terrorism.”  Rascoff posits that relying exclusively or even extensively on federal modalities is a mistaken approach by the federal government.  He begins by examining the comparative strengths of local law enforcement, including area expertise, as well as the limitations, such as analytic capacity.  Rascoff concludes by proposing a collaborative structure that will emphasize shared roles between federal and local law enforcement agencies.
