The purpose of this assignment is to provide you with the opportunity to apply the knowledge you have gained toward mitigating the probability of a terrorist attack based on the information provided in the scenario list provided in Unit II. You will assume the position that you are an officer in charge of providing security in the scenario you have chosen. You will analyze the physical location of the scenario, mitigate probable areas of concern, and identify probable targets that may require special attention. It is up to you and your personnel to ensure that terrorists will have no opportunity to disrupt the event or unleash any form of attack. The lives of the participants in the event depend on your ability to predict every given situation and provide security to prevent such attacks. Please identify all weak areas, and provide your analysis of how to protect property and personnel during the event as well as before and after the event. The paper must address the following areas of concern: How does the terroristic act in your paper impact future prospects of terrorism whether by genetic engineering, cyberterrorism, biological warfare, or any other weapons of mass destruction (WMD)? Evaluate the moral and ethical implications of the use of this type of WMD destruction. Assess the capabilities of the WMD portrayed in your scenario, and mitigate counteraction strategies. Please use the scenario you chose in the Unit II assignment that was approved by the instructor. Complete a research paper that must be a minimum of five pages in length, not including the title page and the reference page.

Introduction: Provide a brief review of the scenario you have chosen that was submitted and approved by the instructor in Unit II. Intermediate headings: Intermediate headings help the reader transition from one subject to the next. This is the focus of your research and analysis on the scenario you have chosen, where you identify the risks and mitigate solutions that will provide the appropriate protection as well as provide reactive measures in case terrorists manage to complete an attack regardless of your preventive measures. The content must center on the three areas of concern identified above. Conclusion: Provide a summary of your findings and solutions based on best practices. Reference page: You must include the heading (References) centered above the reference list on a separate last page. You must include the three references selected in the Unit II assignment.

Abstract
Because terror groups are targeting areas with a mass number of people, there is a high
probability of experiencing an attack during the event of debate in Atlanta Chastain Park. The
paper, therefore, seeks to address various issues concerning the security during the said day.
Therefore, the federal government, as well as the state government, should play an important role
in security matters during the event to ensure that the people are secure. There are various
federal government agencies that can be used to provide security. They are central intelligence
agency (CIA), the Department of Defense (DOD) that includes the army, air force, marines, navy
and National Guard. The federal can manage the security by the use of national special security
event which is under the arm of United States Department of Homeland Security
(Matthews, 2010). Through the use of all those agencies, the federal and the state government
can ensure the safety as well as the security of those who are planning to attend the debate event
since it is a national event.

National Guard and the Department of Defense (DOD) among others in the event of an attack. I
recommended that participants should be made aware of the likelihood of a potential attack and
the various means of evacuation available in the facility. I also suggested that a risk analysis
should be conducted on security personnel and the tools of the trade to improve their
preparedness and a thorough investigation of the park should be conducted before the event
begins to reduce the chances associated with planted explosives. I also addressed security plans
to counter terrorism strategy and the various pillars that should be addressed by the United
Nations to curb terrorism. In this paper, being the officer in charge of security issues, I am going
to carry out a scenario analysis of the location an...
