Domestic Safety and Security

CNA merges its objective, data-driven approach with deep expertise in policing, corrections, domestic terrorism and emergency management. We have decades of experience working with hundreds of state and local agencies, as well as the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Federal Aviation Administration and Department of Justice.

The Advancing 21st Century Policing and Precision Policing initiatives were founded on CNA analysis, and we have been a leader in police racial bias audits and research on the effective use of body-worn cameras. Our emergency management experts have been asked to evaluate the response to every major U.S. hurricane since Katrina. And we have helped leaders prepare safely for national political conventions and presidential inaugurations.
