While that risk may be lower than risks on either coast, Iowa is in position as a key agricultural producer and home of numerous critical assets. Consequently, local response capacity to threats of all types calls for creation of adequate tactical response, and developing that capacity has been identified as a priority in Iowa. Also determined was that local capacity must be developed strategically so that there is little duplication in the specialized local capacity for WMD/Terrorism level tactical response. In keeping with the national priorities expressed by US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Iowa’s state and local homeland security, emergency management, and first responder leaders sought a process that would foster cooperation and collaboration to achieve the goal. Tactical response capacity, or Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) response capacity, in Iowa consists of a number of independent multi-jurisdictional teams, one multi-county Task Force, and several dozen county and municipal teams that cover their respective jurisdictions. The Iowa State Patrol has four tactical teams and has a statutory responsibility to respond to any tactical incident in any local jurisdiction if requested by that jurisdiction. (See Appendix for map.) No formal data exists regarding teams or trained officers, though estimates are that there are more than 60 teams and more than 600 officers serving on those teams. To further complicate the issue, there are no statewide or national guidelines, standards, or other requirements for unit composition, necessary equipment, or for the training or physical ability of officers serving on a tactical unit. The Iowa Department of Public Safety (IDPS), Iowa State Patrol retained State Public Policy Group to design and manage a decision process to meet timelines of the DHS Office for Domestic Preparedness (ODP) Grant requirements. Challenge The challenge of the Tactical Officer Task Force (TOTF) was to create local response capacity to WMD/Terrorism incidents anywhere in the state. The TOTF was established to review the issues, suggest solutions, and reach consensus on an implementation plan. Though there are more than 60 local tactical units across the state, the lack of standards and tracking of tactical teams mean it is difficult to determine the level of capacity of any team or all teams as a whole. It is known and generally Tactical Officers Task Force 5 accepted that jurisdictions’ tactical units are staffed, trained, and equipped based on the commitment of the local law enforcement leadership and the local budget. That said, while some of the larger existing teams train more than 16 hours a month in tactical operations, no team in Iowa, including the ISP teams, are equipped with specialized equipment needed for a WMD/Terrorism level response. The Tactical Officers Task Force faced making decisions to outline a mechanism to establish and maintain consistent tactical unit response capacity to a WMD/terrorist incident anywhere in the state. Issues to be resolved included, but were not limited to: • Composition of and standards for teams. • Designation of jurisdictions to meet WMD/terrorist criteria. • Triggers for “regional” team call-out. • Protocols for statewide tactical unit response. • Form and general contents of contractual document; 28E Agreement. The Task Force members began their responsibilities with the understanding that not every tactical unit in Iowa could benefit from the federal funding available for this initiative. With an approach of developing equitable access to WMD/Terrorism tactical response for all jurisdictions, the Task Force worked through the issues to be resolved, one by one, to achieve consensus. Cooperation and Collaboration – Tactical Officers Task Force and Chiefs and Sheriffs The TOTF is a group of tactical team commanders and other stakeholders charged with the responsibility to develop guidance and standards that will ensure available, appropriate and consistent local tactical unit response to WMD/terrorism incidents throughout the state of Iowa. Through a work group process facilitated by SPPG, the TOTF developed statewide standards for training levels, personnel requirements, protocols for unit activation, and other issues that directly affect tactical units and the communities to which they are responsible to protect in the event of a terrorist or WMD event. Earlier in 2004, the Iowa State Patrol convened an informal working group to begin to address this challenge. It provided a valuable background along with some preliminary positions on several of the key issues. The Tactical Officers Task Force was formed in October 2004 and included the members of the earlier group plus several additional stakeholders representing other resources and jurisdictions with no tactical units. The chiefs and sheriffs of the jurisdictions represented on the TOTF were also indirectly involved from the outset as their officers were responsible to keep them engaged and informed. Because a final plan would require consensus

    Page | 1 CBRNE-TERRORISM NEWSLETTER – October 2016 www.cbrne-terrorism-newsletter.com Page | 2 CBRNE-TERRORISM NEWSLETTER – October 2016 Two Afghan Soldiers Kill 12 Colleagues at Post Outside Kunduz Source: http://www.wsj.com/articles/two-afghan-soldiers-kill-12-colleagues-at-post-outside-kunduz- 1474995982 Sep 27 – Two Afghan soldiers shot and killed 12 colleagues at a post outside of Kunduz before defecting to the Taliban, the Defense Ministry said, in one of the country’s deadliest insider attacks this year. Both men fled the scene to join the insurgency, according to a provincial police commander. The militant group, which has been fighting to unseat the Afghan government since being ousted from power about 15 years ago, took responsibility for the attack. The ministry said the attack was under investigation. The northern city last year fell briefly to the Taliban, being the first to come under militant control since 2001. U.S. and Afghan special forces drove the insurgents from the city within days, but Afghan and foreign officials in the country are increasingly concerned it could be overrun again, as the militants control the city’s outskirts and most of Kunduz province. Security has deteriorated across Afghanistan since most foreign troops pulled out in 2014. Army and police casualties are at a record high in 2016, despite increased U.S. military efforts this year—including airstrikes—to support local forces on the ground. Still, insider attacks happen sporadically in Afghanistan. In January, a policeman in the country’s second-largest city, Kandahar, killed 10 colleagues before joining the Taliban.
