Acknowledgments In the second edition of this text, we would like to thank Dr. Pam Collins (EKU Retired Professor of Homeland Security) for her work as a coauthor on the first edition. Additionally, we would like to thank Ms. Kayla E. Matola (Critical Infrastructure Analyst with the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security) for writing Chapter 14 from a practitioner’s perspective. Further, a task such as this is not possible without the support of a pro- fessional group of faculty and staff as we have at the Eastern Kentucky University Department of Safety and Security—Homeland Security Pro- gram (Dr. Chad Foster, Dr. Mike Collier, Dr. Bill Sullivan, Dr. Joanne McGlown, Dr. Tom Schneid, and Mrs. Elizabeth Mills). Your support and work throughout the years make these endeavors a reality. Last, but certainly not the least, we acknowledge our outstanding EKU Homeland Security students, past, present, and future. Your curiosity, hard work, and perseverance are awe-inspiring and make all our aca- demic endeavors worthwhile. Your success in life is central to our higher education calling.
