Abstract

Domestic terrorism continues to be a major concern for the United States. Despite the fact that County Sheriffs will have a critical role in dealing with public safety during and after a terrorist event, little is known regarding their confidence levels. The three main components that were identified as contributors to confidence of county law enforcement when dealing with terrorist events were satisfaction with funding for training, adequacy of equipment and funding for prevention and reaction. The results of this quantitative and descriptive study may become an important factor for law enforcement preparedness and for funding distribution in the future.
