Introduction Terrorism is one aspect that poses the greatest risk to global security today (Pastor, 2009, p.27). In fact, even the world’s highly rated destinations security-wise i.e. the United States have not been spared either. The most recent and the worst terrorism attack on the United States of America; and which perhaps caught the nation by surprise were the September 11 terrorism attack on the world trading sector. The latter posed as a great challenge to the United States preparedness and effectiveness in handling such eventualities. Following the attack, federal law enforcement has taken center stage particularly for risk assessment in relation to terrorism for early intervention and preparedness to handle future such eventualities. They also introduced the office of state and local government corporations and preparedness. The fundamental responsibilities of these departments were to coordinate the first-responders. The main objective in this case was to enhance preparedness in relation to terrorism attacks as well as work in close relations with state and local first responders with an objective of fostering terrorism preparedness in matters of training, exercises, and equipment aid (Pelfrey, 2007, p.314). Consequently, the main objective of law enforcement as part of terrorism risk management is enhancing federal preparedness in terms of effectiveness of the first responders, equipment availability & appropriateness for such responses, as well as enhancing terrorism risk assessment to be safe. Ideally, it can be argued with a great degree of confidence that law enforcement regarding terrorism became more expressive after the 9/11 terrorism attack. This paper therefore looks at the various aspects of law enforcement as part of terrorism risk management. Response by fire, police, medical personnel Ideally, both biological and biochemical or terrorism attacks in any form poses a fatal danger to the target. As a result, both the terrorism risk assessment and the absolute preparedness in terms of attack eventualities are essential across all departments and institutions both in terms of psychological alert and adequacy of equipment (Corona, 2005, Para. 3). The greatest test of such preparedness particularly in the United States of America was the attack of the world trading center on September 11 2001. Irrespective of above average ability in response to the attack particularly by the fire, metropolitan police departments, and the medical personnel during the attack, the federal authorities recognized the need for better preparedness pertaining critical departments across the United States, so as to ensure even better response in cases of such eventualities in the future. Consequently, both the state and local law enforcers have responded by instituting legal provisions aimed at ensuring adequacy by the fire department police and medical first responder for effective responses to eventualities such as terrorism attacks. In cases of terrorism attacks the latter recognizes that the role of the three departments mainly the fire, police, and medical care services is critical since they are the very important first responders in such a case. Therefore, law enforcement in this regard ensures beyond reasonable doubt that the departments are best prepared in terms of personnel capabilities and appropriateness and adequacy of equipment to present the best response ever in cases of terr
