What is the Counter-Terrorism Section
The Oregon State Police's Counter-Terrorism Section began as the "Office of Public Safety and Security," following its creation by former Superintendent Ronald C. Ruecker after the events of September 11, 2001.

The activities of personnel assigned to this section include active investigations of international, domestic and biological terrorism with federal law enforcement partners, coordination of similar federal and local investigations, and involvement in domestic preparedness issues. The section works closely with the Arson/Explosives Section of the Oregon State Police.

Homeland Security Advisory
The Homeland Security Advisory System provides a comprehensive and effective means to disseminate information regarding the risk of terrorist attacks to State, and local authorities and to the people of Oregon. It corresponds with the Federal Homeland Security Advisory System.

As part of a series of initiatives to improve coordination and communication among all levels of government and the American public in the fight against terrorism, President Bush signed Homeland Security Presidential Directive 3, creating the Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS). The Advisory System will be the foundation for building a comprehensive and effective communications structure for the dissemination of information regarding the risk of terrorist attacks to all levels of government and the American people.
