Homeland Secretary discusses security plans – washingtonpost.com

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano on Wednesday called for more public participation to guard against terrorist threats, part of the Obama administration’s strategy to keep the country safe.

The strategy involves cooperation of local law enforcement, the federal government and U.S. allies along with ordinary Americans in a collective fight, she said in a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations.

The country’s counter-terror approach needs to be “more layered, networked and resilient to make it smarter, and more adaptive,” her prepared text said.
