The 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon brought a heightened awareness to the need for homeland security measures in law enforcement agencies. The attacks spurred the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and led to many changes in police practices, including increased intelligence gathering and sharing, enhanced airport and border security, and more rigorous training on responding to terrorist threats. While the Iraq war and Oklahoma City bombing also contributed to the focus on homeland security, the 9/11 attacks were the most significant event.
