Homeland Security Partnership

Assignment: Traditional and non-traditional partnerships have become the norm in the private and public sectors.  Intelligence is only as good as its sources, and sources are only as good as their access. Discuss the value of  DHS in working with high-valued partnerships  and the risk of poorly aligned partnerships.  Include:
Describe how collaboration and strategic partnerships are fundamental to benefiting homeland security such as information access, improved collection, innovative technology, greater regional and cultural knowledge, etc. Support with real-world examples.
Discuss the risks such as security, insider threats, inequities in exchange, loss of operational control, legal implications, etc.
Make recommendations on improving and expanding partnerships that can lead to bigger and more innovative opportunities.
Requirements: Your paper should be at least 8-10 pages double-spaced, not including the cover page, introduction, and references.
The paper must cite at least one (1) academic or professional reference for each page written, located through the UMGC library.Resources must be properly cited within the body of the text and reflected in the references using APA 7th edition format and citation rules.
Inform the reader. As with most Intelligence writing, shorter and focused is best.
