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.
