Introduction to Homeland Security is just the surface of the water when it comes to Homeland Security. Homeland Security is very vast and covers many aspects at the local, tribal, state, and federal levels. Each level will conduct different missions and tasks in their parts and roles in support the Homeland Security. Many of the local and state levels will see Homeland Security as the one roof concept in bringing Fire, EMS, Law Enforcement, and Emergency Management all under one roof. So concepts will vary from one jurisdiction to the next.
