Historical Notes
After 9/11, the U.S. government mobilized intelligence and federal law enforcement agencies to share data and expertise with each other, U.S. military partners, international allies, and local informants to combat vast terrorist networks. The influx and analysis of recovered items increased dramatically.
The Metropolitan Police Service, which serves Her Majesty Elizabeth Regina, is also known as Scotland Yard.
