Mission Statement
I n response to national security directives , the non-profit Homeland Security Policy Institute Group will work to improve opportunities and methods for cooperative action between the Private and public sectors in Homeland Security applications.
As differentiated from National Security, the paradigm of Homeland Security cannot be accomplished by the federal government alone.
In the United States, more than 80% of the critical infrastructure is in the Private sector. Critical infrastructure provides the foundation for our national security, governance, and economic vitality, and way of life. Our protection from and response to terrorism requires coordination between public sector agencies and Private sector businesses. While the need for coordination between the public and Private sectors is powerfully stated in national strategy documents, few Private sector collaborative activities have occurred. The Private sector has not organized within itself nor coordinated with the public sector.
HSPIG has recognized that the lack of Private sector organization, preparation and training has limited this essential Private-public partnering necessary to counter and respond to terrorism.
As a privately funded non-profit organization, HSPIG retains a Private sector orientation including rapid response to change and sensitivity to resource and cost concerns.
