GSN 2014 Digital Yearbook of Homeland Security Awards Recipients Government Agency Awards Center for Homeland Defense & Securit y – 2014 Platinum Winner Awards Category: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Most Notable Federal Government Security Program/ Project or Initiative Name of Nominated Product, Service, or Program: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Center for Homeland Defense & Security (CHDS) Reason this entry deserves to win: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– The Center for Homeland Defense and Security (CHDS) is located at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey, California. Since 2002, CHDS has conducted a wide range of graduate-level educational programs focused on assisting homeland security leaders to address current and emerging threats to the nation’s security. The programs are developed in partnership with and are sponsored by the National Preparedness Directorate, FEMA. CHDS consistently develops critical thinkers who implement their education within their agencies. Unlike other graduate institutions, CHDS only accepts applicants who are in a position to impart change and are capable of forming new partnerships and reevaluating their organization’s strategies and policies. The success of CHDS is realized through the student, alumni, and program involvement in national events such as the Oso, Washington, landslide, the Washington, D.C., Navy Yard shooting, and the Boston Marathon bombing. The CHDS fingerprint is seen in the response to these types of events through critical thinking, cross-disciplinary knowledge, and multi-agency relationships cultivated by CHDS. The CHDS Master’s degree program is the first of its kind, having been established as the first accredited homeland security degree program in the U.S. Students are selected from a pool of highly qualified candidates representing a diversified group of homeland security disciplines. Courses are taught by faculty and SMEs who administer a constantly evolving curriculum in the form of classroom discussions, projects, and network-based learning. Students develop theses that are directly applicable to the problems and challenges of their respective organizations. As the definition of homeland security has expanded, so too has CHDS course offerings. The Executive Leaders Program (ELP) connects senior local, state, tribal, territorial, federal, and private sector leaders to create 96
elationships across jurisdictional and disciplinary lines. An outgrowth of the ELP program called the Pacific Executive Leaders Program (PELP) was designed to meet homeland security challenges in the Pacific region. Lastly, the Fusion Center Leaders Program (FCLP) was created to enhance practices of fusion center leaders to collect, analyze and distribute information pertaining to crime and terrorism related activities. CHDS has led homeland security education through numerous additional initiatives. The University and Agency Partnership Initiative Program (UAPI) freely shares the Center’s programs and resources with educational institutions nationwide. This “multiplier effect” has created a network of over 300 partner institutions and expands the Center’s academic programs beyond the institution and across the nation. Additionally, CHDS has conducted 280 Mobile Education Team (MET) seminars, which are tailored to senior leadership at state and local levels to address homeland security challenges unique to their jurisdictions. While not a large institution, CHDS has a profound national influence on homeland security education with minimal operational overhead. Its overall reach includes 700 Master’s alumni, 450 ELP alumni, 10,500 MET program participants, 12,000 Self Study program participants, 338 UAPI partners, and 136,000 Homeland Security Digital Library documents to date. 97 Link to Web Page of Nominated Organization: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– http://www.chds.us/ Link to additional information on product, service or program, with brief description: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6TbDti- FacQ Link to Web page or Document with independent media coverage, with brief description: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2005/05/01/in_war_on_terrorism_ us_government_finds_allies_on_campus/ Name and organization of nominating contact for this entry, including name, title, organization: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Heather Issvoran, Director of Strategic Communications CHDS Nominating contact’s office telephone and cell phone: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– office: (831) 656-2003 cell: (831) 402-4672 Nominating contact’s email address: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– hissvora@nps.edu Address of nominating contact’s organization: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 1 University Circle Building 220, Room 64 Monterey, CA 93943
