Well, perhaps not the creation of a 'new' group, but perhaps a tasking towards assignment of operating MTTs geared towards creating a capability for local law enforcement groups to task organize into a regional response team, when terrorism occurs on our soil.

Attacks will come in many forms in the future, either locally and to a lesser extent, into coordinated regional attacks. Gangs may or may not be part of it. For the most part, they are opportunists and could do so for financial gain. It's not like they care about the local populace.

While this may be a bit off-topic in terms of dealing with gangs, SF providing training on how law enforcement could militarily task organize for a strong regional response would be a beneficial. That is done partially with such things as incident command teams, however I don't know that LEOs have the mindset or organizational ability to setup and run operations against an organized enemy or one who attacked and was escaping the area.

Who would better teach these sorts of things to local law enforcement? Is it not necessary for them to have these skills? Do they have the ability to do these things already?
