Greater Los Angeles

**Greater Los Angeles** is the second-largest metropolitan area in the United States (after New York's), with a population of 18.5 million in 2021, encompassing six counties in Southern California extending from Ventura County in the west to San Bernardino County and Riverside County in the east, with Los Angeles County in the center, Kern County in the north, and Orange County to the southeast. The Los Angeles–Anaheim–Riverside combined statistical area covers 33,954 square miles (87,940 km2), making it the largest metropolitan region in the United States by land area. The contiguous urban area is 2,281 square miles (5,910 km2), the remainder mostly consisting of mountain and desert areas.

In addition to being the nexus of the global entertainment industry, including films, television, and recorded music, Greater Los Angeles is also an important center of international trade, education, media, business, tourism, technology, and sports. It is the third-largest metropolitan area by nominal GDP in the world with an economy exceeding $1 trillion in output behind Tokyo and New York City.

There are four contiguous component metropolitan areas in Greater Los Angeles: the Golden Empire that makes up the city of Bakersfield within Kern County; the Inland Empire, which can be broadly defined as Riverside and San Bernardino counties; the Ventura/Oxnard metropolitan area (or Ventura County); and the **Los Angeles metropolitan area** (also known as **Metropolitan Los Angeles** or **Metro LA**) consisting of Los Angeles and Orange counties only. The Census Bureau designates the latter as the Los Angeles–Long Beach–Anaheim metropolitan statistical area, the fourth largestmetropolitan area in the western hemisphere and the second-largest metropolitan area in the United States, by population. It has a total area of 4,850 square miles (12,561 km2). San Diego–Tijuana, though contiguous with Greater Los Angeles at San Clemente and Temecula, is not part of it because of the fact that it is separated from Greater Los Angeles by Camp Pendleton north of Oceanside, California located in San Diego County all the way to San Ysidro, California at the American-Mexican border, together both form part of the Southern California Megalopolis while at the southern most point is Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico at the border south from San Ysidro, California.

Throughout the 20th century, Greater Los Angeles was one of the fastest-growing regions in the United States, but growth has slowed since 2000. At the 2010 U.S. census, the smaller Los Angeles metro area had a population of nearly 13 million residents. In 2015, the Greater Los Angeles population was estimated to be about 18.7 million, making it the second largest metropolitan region in the country, behind New York, as well as one of the largest megacities in the world. Over time, droughts and wildfires have increased in frequency and become less seasonal and more year-round, further straining the region's water security.
FBI Intelligence Branch

The Intelligence Branch (IB) division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) handles all intelligence functions, including information sharing policies and intelligence analysis for national security, homeland security, and law enforcement purposes. The IB operates through the use of embedded intelligence strategies.

The Intelligence Branch consists of language analysts, physical surveillance specialists, and FBI agents. The IB also oversees field intelligence operations through Field Intelligence Groups (FIGs), housed within various localized offices.

## History

The operations of the FBI have significantly expanded and streamlined in the 21st century. The Intelligence Branch, as a distinct entity, came about in the wake of the September 11 terror attacks in 2001. Intelligence analysis became a critical focus for national security efforts, and the FBI Counterterrorism Division (CTD) soon evolved to include an Office of Intelligence (within CTD) in 2002. The 9/11 Commission recommended strengthening efforts to recognize the role intelligence played within the FBI's structure. Following the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 being passed, United States Attorney General John Ashcroft ordered action on the development of an intelligence unit that would operate independently from the CTD. The Intelligence Branch was formally established in 2005. The IB, along with the CTD, the FBI Counterintelligence Division, and the FBI Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate, became part of the newly established FBI National Security Branch in 2006. As of 2014, the IB is no longer part of NSB and now operates as a department of the FBI.

Federal Bureau of Prisons

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is a United States federal law enforcement agency under the Department of Justice that is responsible for the care, custody, and control of incarcerated individuals who have committed federal crimes; that is, violations of the United States Code.

## Types of Federal Prisons

The BOP has five security levels:

* Federal Prison Camps (FPCs), the BOP minimum-security facilities, feature a lack of or a limited amount of perimeter fencing, and a relatively low staff-to-inmate ratio
* Low-security Federal Correctional Institutions (FCIs) have double-fenced perimeters, and inmates live in mostly cubicle or dormitory housing
* Medium-security FCIs and some United States Penitentiaries (USPs) are classified to hold medium-security inmates. The medium facilities have strengthened perimeters, which often consist of double fences with electronic detection systems. Medium-security facilities mostly have cell housing
* Most U.S. Penitentiaries are classified as high-security facilities. The perimeters, highly secured, often have reinforced fences or walls
* Federal Correctional Complexes (FCCs) are co-locations of BOP facilities with different security levels and/or genders.
* Administrative Security Facilities are prisons with special missions and capabilities. An example would be Federal Medical Centers, which house sick and injured inmates getting medical care that is beyond the capabilities of a normal institution

Some nits have small, adjacent, minimum-security "satellite camps". Twenty-eight institutions hold female inmates. As of 2010, about 15% of Bureau inmates are in facilities operated by third parties, mostly private companies, whilst others are in local and state facilities. Some are in privately operated Residential Reentry Centers (RRC) or Community Corrections Centers. The Bureau uses contract facilities to manage its own prison population because they are "especially useful" for housing low-security, specialized groups of people, such as sentenced criminal aliens.

## Correctional Officers

In the BOP, correctional officers are uniformed federal officers who protect and look after BOP prisons and inmates. The BOP has a Special Operations Response Team and Disturbance Control Team.
Androromantic

**Androromantic**, or **andromantic**, is a term with several possible definitions. First, is the romantic attraction to men. This means that heteroromantic women, gay men, and non-binary people attracted to men can be considered androromantics. The second possible definition is the romantic attraction to people who present masculinely, regardless of their actual gender. Thirdly, is the romantic attraction only to people with "male anatomy" regardless of whether that person identifies as male, however this definition is transphobic as it reduces people to their genitals.

The term was possibly made with non-binary or genderqueer people in mind. However, many non-binary people prefer other terms like minromantic, marsic, viramoric, or maromantic to describe this attraction, because androromantic has no consistent definition and can have unfavorable connotations. The term is based on androsexual, which is commonly used by transphobes as a reason to exclude trans men because they are only attracted to "male anatomy" or "real men".

The sexual equivalent is androsexual. The feminine equivalent is gyneromantic.
Androsexual

**Androsexual** is a sexual orientation with several possible definitions.

Androsexual may be synonymous with masexual. This definition describes exclusive attraction to men. This label does not specify the androsexual individual's own gender identity, which means that heterosexual women, gay men, and non-binary individuals attracted to men may be considered androsexual.

Androsexual may be synonymous with mascsexual. This definition describes attraction to individuals with masculine gender presentations, regardless of their gender identity.

Androsexual may describe attraction "male anatomy" regardless of the target individual's gender identity. This definition is often considered transphobic/genitalist as it reduces individuals to their genitals. Attraction that is influenced by anatomy is generally considered a sexual preference rather than a sexual orientation, and individuals who identify with this definition may find the label imprisexual to be a less transphobic alternative. This definition is sometimes referred to as "androphilia", however this term is outdated.

The femaric equivalent of androseuxal is gynesexual. The romantic equivalent is androromantic.

Phoenix, Arizona

**Phoenix** (/ˈfiːnɪks/ *FEE-niks*; Navajo: *Hoozdo*; O'odham: *S-ki:kigk*; Spanish: *Fénix* Walapai: *Banyà:nyuwá*) is the state capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Arizona, with 1,608,139 residents as of 2020. It is the fifth-most populous city in the United States and the most populous state capital in the country.

Phoenix is the largest city of the Phoenix metropolitan area, also known as the Valley of the Sun, which in turn is part of the Salt River Valley. The metropolitan area is the 10th-largest by population in the United States, with approximately 4.85 million people as of 2020, making it the largest in the Southwestern United States. Phoenix, the seat of Maricopa County, is the largest city by area in Arizona, with an area of 517.9 square miles (1,341 km2), and is also the 11th largest city by area in the United States. It is the largest metropolitan area of the Arizona Sun Corridor megaregion.

Phoenix was settled in 1867 as an agricultural community near the confluence of the Salt and Gila Rivers and was incorporated as a city in 1881. It became the capital of Arizona Territory in 1889. It is in the northeastern reaches of the Sonoran Desert and has a hot desert climate. Despite this, its canal system led to a thriving farming community with the original settlers' crops remaining important parts of the Phoenix economy for decades, such as alfalfa, cotton, citrus, and hay. Cotton, cattle, citrus, climate, and copper were known locally as the "Five C's" anchoring Phoenix's economy. These remained the driving forces of the city until after World War II, when high-tech companies began to move into the valley and air conditioning made Phoenix's hot summers more bearable.

The city averaged a four percent annual population growth rate over a 40-year period from the mid-1960s to the mid-2000s. This growth rate slowed during the Great Recession of 2007–09, and has rebounded slowly.Phoenix is the cultural center of the state of Arizona. Water insecurity and drought in conjunction with climate change have become a significant concern for the metropolitan area's future growth prospects.
MeToo movement

**#MeToo** is a social movement and awareness campaign against sexual abuse, sexual harassment, and rape culture, in which people publicize their experiences of sexual abuse or sexual harassment. The phrase "Me Too" was initially used in this context on social media in 2006, on Myspace, by sexual assault survivor and activist Tarana Burke. The hashtag *#MeToo* was used starting in 2017 as a way to draw attention to the magnitude of the problem. The purpose of "Me Too", as initially voiced by Burke as well as those who later adopted the tactic, is to empower sexually assaulted people (especially young and vulnerable women of color) through empathy, solidarity, and strength in numbers, by visibly demonstrating how many have experienced sexual assault and harassment, especially in the workplace.

Following the exposure of numerous sexual-abuse allegations against film producer Harvey Weinstein in October 2017, the movement began to spread virally as a hashtag on social media. On October 16, 2017, American actress Alyssa Milano posted on Twitter, "If all the women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote 'Me too' as a status, we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem," saying that she got the idea from a friend. A number of high-profile posts and responses from American celebrities Gwyneth Paltrow, Ashley Judd, Jennifer Lawrence, and Uma Thurman,among others, soon followed.

Widespread media coverage and discussion of sexual harassment, particularly in Hollywood, led to high-profile terminations from positions held, as well as criticism and backlash.

After millions of people started using the phrase and hashtag in this manner in English, the expression began to spread to dozens of other languages. The scope has become somewhat broader with this expansion, however, and Burke has more recently referred to it as an international movement for justice for marginalized people. After the hashtag #MeToo went viral in late 2017, Facebook reported that almost half of its American users were friends with someone who said they had been sexually assaulted or harassed.

Polyromantic

**Polyromantic**, also spelled **plyromantic** or **poliromantic**, refers to someone who is romantically attracted to many, but not all, genders. For example, a polyromantic individual could be attracted to all genders except men. Or, a polyromantic individual could be attracted only to non-binary individuals, genderfluid individuals, and male-aligned individuals.

Polyromantic generally implies that an individual is attracted to more than two genders, but they can be attracted to any number of genders anywhere from two genders to all genders besides one.

Polyromantic falls under the multiromantic umbrella. It can be similar to biromantic and other pluralian identities. The difference between these identities usually comes down to individual preference, particularly where individuals may feel that different terms communicate their individual experience of attraction with more accuracy.

The sexual counterpart is polysexual.
FBI Special Weapons and Tactics Teams

FBI Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Teams are specialized part-time tactical teams of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI maintains SWAT teams at each of its 56 field offices throughout the country. Each team is composed of a varying number of certified SWAT operators, dependent on office size and funding.

## Roles

SWAT teams are specially trained to serve warrants and intervene in high-risk incidents such as active shooters and barricaded suspects and provide protection of personnel or dignitaries. SWAT teams are trained to a national standard and utilize the same equipment which enables a team to provide assistance to another field office team. SWAT teams can be dispatched to aid local law enforcement with limited resources to manage large-scale high-risk incidents.

### Utilization

Several factors can determine the use for SWAT. Some of those factors are:

* The potential of violence
* The potential risk to law enforcement and the public
* The location of the warrant service and case requirements

## SWAT Operations Unit

The The SWAT Operations Unit (SOU), which is part of the Critical Incident Response Group, oversees the Bureau’s SWAT program. The The SOU is responsible for developing standardized training, procedures and tactics, and for research and development including equipment, for the SWAT teams to ensure interoperability for multiple-office deployments. During multiple-office deployments the SOU provides planning assistance and oversight. SWAT teams train on average 32 hours a month.

## Enhanced SWAT Teams

Nine SWAT teams are designated as "Enhanced" level SWAT and are specially trained to be able to assist/augment the full time national Hostage Rescue Team if needed. Enhanced SWAT teams are typically located at larger field offices and comprise a larger number of personnel than standard teams, in addition to having increased access to additional tactical equipment and methods.
