Three U.S. national strategies, developed in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, directed U.S. law enforcement agencies (LEA) to focus on the prevention of terrorist attacks. The strategies called for LEAs to intensify their efforts to help foreign nations identify, disrupt, and prosecute terrorists. This testimony addresses (1) the guidance for LEAs to assist foreign nations to identify, disrupt, and prosecute terrorists and (2) the extent to which LEAs have implemented this guidance. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-144T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-144T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-144T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-144T.pdf GAO-08-144T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-144T Testimony GAO-08-144T; Combating Terrorism: Law Enforcement Agencies Lack Directives to Assist Foreign Nations; Combating terrorism Counterterrorism Federal aid to foreign countries International relations Law enforcement Law enforcement agencies Law enforcement personnel Police training Strategic planning Terrorism Training utilization Program implementation Title 50 Section 404o 50 U.S.C. 404o Public Law 108-458
