Study on the Development of National Security Policies through the Analysis of the Terrorist Incidents Involving President Trump in the United States

The purpose of this study is to derive the direction of security policies that our country should aim for in the future through a case analysis of the 2024 terrorist incidents involving President Trump in the United States. The research method involved a literature review of key documents, including the US Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs' report on the Trump assassination attempts. First, the study analyzed the recent trends in high-profile terrorism in the United States, focusing on the key security measures and issues of the Secret Service (SS) and related agencies in the Trump terrorist incidents. Major issues identified included the lack of established command systems and collaboration among agencies, communication gaps, failure of the C-UAS (Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems) system, inadequate initial response measures, allocation and shortage of security assets, and insufficient control of search and security zones. Based on these findings, the study derived four main implications for our country's security policies: establishing an integrated hybrid command and control system centered on the Presidential Security Service, strengthening the capabilities of the intelligence community and counter-terrorism joint investigation teams to prepare for new terrorist threats, building a governance response system (public-private-military-police) for counter-drone measures, and enhancing counter-surveillance capabilities for monitoring and responding to high-risk individuals.
