A Study on Field Response Procedures for Reportingand Receiving Suspected Terrorism Situations

In modern society, the threat of terrorism has become a significant factor that seriously endangers national security and public safety. This study emphasizes the importance of swift and accurate response procedures during the reporting and receiving stages of suspected terrorism situations, particularly focusing on the systematic analysis of field response processes for suspicious materials such as unidentified mail. In this study, response types were categorized into four different types, considering various situations, and the response procedures and roles of each agency were clearly defined. This approach aims to minimize potential issues in the initial response phase, prevent the spread of incidents through coordinated responses among related agencies, and propose ways to minimize damage. Furthermore, the importance of inter-agency cooperation and the integration of a unified response team (TF) is emphasized, along with the necessity of strict adherence to safety guidelines and the use of protective gear to ensure the safety of responders. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to enhancing the efficiency and reliability of terrorism response procedures by improving current response strategies for suspected terrorism situations.
