This is for PS 3004. New Public Safety Realities descriptions of the five driving forces, take notice of the consistent and dramatic transition from Public Safety Silo Operations to Public Safety Silo Interoperability.

Select two of the driving forces and consider your past experiences in the context of these changes.

Five Driving Forces Driving Forces Shaping Public Safety Twentieth Century (Public Safety Silo Operations) Twenty-First Century (Public Safety Interoperability) 1. Global Society: Worldwide Connections Local and municipal planning and process Nationwide and international planning and processes 2. Human Intervened: Catastrophes Managing corruption and threats locally Managing human intervened catastrophes interoperable beyond local level 3. Net Communications: Information Age Information controlled and not available to outside stakeholders Information readily available causing influx of information security measures 4. Natural Disasters: Predictable Inaccurate predictability and awareness of pending natural disasters Science and geology study former disasters and predict future disasters with increased accuracy 5. Technology: New Crimes Robberies and murders threaten local communities New threats are identity theft, Internet crimes, and fraudulent actions from inside and outside local community Global Society: Worldwide Connections Global society with worldwide and international connections is blurring local and country boundaries. New characteristics connect society and enhance threats globally driving increased public safety processes.
