For this assignment, consider the role, responsibility, and perspective of the criminal justice administrator (i.e., police chief or sheriff) in your municipality. You are tasked with identifying the plan and budget for the agency that accounts for threats of domestic terrorism.

To accomplish this, you will need to research your local (i.e., city, county, or state) law enforcement agency and the applicable fusion center to determine the connection that exists between budget allocation and the threat of terrorism. Use this information to analyze the threats that your agency plans and prepares for, and determine how training and response to these threats are budgeted. Most law enforcement agency budgets and fusion center budgets are public record and are easily obtained online; however, you may need to do some deeper research to obtain all of the information needed for this assignment.

Your case study should address the items below.

Identify your location and the law enforcement agency that you selected.
Discuss the terrorist or homeland security threats that apply to your area and how they are specifically addressed through department policy, procedures, and training.
Examine the role of the law enforcement administrator or leader (e.g., sheriff, police chief) in protecting the community from a terrorist incident. Address his or her potential concerns regarding the safety of the community and his or her officers in a terrorist incident.
Identify the external resources (fusion center resources and others) that could be tapped by law enforcement leadership in the event of a terrorist incident.
Determine how terrorist incident response, preparation, and training are budgeted. Are these items specifically allocated, or do they fall under the general category line items such as overtime and training? What other factors must an administrator consider when creating the fiscal budget that could possibly interfere with terrorism budget allocation?
Finally, take into consideration everything you have learned in this course about the role and responsibilities of a criminal justice administrator, the value of community policing, and the importance of the agency leadership having a positive influence on personnel and policy. With this in mind, propose two changes to the current way in which the threat of terrorism is handled and budgeted for in your local agency. Support your recommendations with a strong argument and evidence.
Your case study must be a minimum of three pages in length, not counting the title page and references page. A minimum of three sources will be used and must be properly cited. The case study, including all references, should be formatted in APA Style.

PEP8 SIMULATOR ASSIGNMENT

GOAL: Write a PEP/8 machine language simulator that simulates the PEP/8 computer and instruction set for only the following instructions:

Instruction Specifier     Instruction     Addressing Modes     Status Bits
0000 0000     Stop execution               NA   
0001 100r     Bitwise invert r                 NA                    NZ
0001 110r     Arithmetic shift left r       NA                  NZVC
0001 111r     Arithmetic shift right r       NA                NZC
0010 000r     Rotate left r                       NA                    C
0010 001r     Rotate right r                       NA                    C
0011 0aaa     Decimal input trap                   d                NZV
0011 1aaa     Decimal output trap       d, i   
0100 1aaa     Character input                 d   
0101 0aaa     Character output               d, i   
0111 raaa     Add to r                                 d, i              NZVC
1000 raaa     Subtract from r                   d, i            NZVC
1001 raaa     Bitwise AND to r                 d, i              NZ
1010 raaa     Bitwise OR to r                 d, i            NZ
1100 raaa     Load r from memory           d, i            NZ
1101 raaa     Load byte from memory           d, i                      NZ
1110 raaa     Store r to memory                   d   
1111 raaa     Store byte r to memory             d   

Here are some specifics.

1.    Use an array to represent the memory.
2.    Use variables or arrays for the PEP8 registers. I recommend putting it all into a structure. I also recommend using an array of 16 bit values for A, X, PC, SP so that you can use the r bit from the instructions to point directly to A or X. You do NOT have to include the Status bits.
3.    Use unions of structures to break up the registers and instructions into the correct bits (for example, use a structure that can be unioned to break up the 8 bit specifier into the following bit combos (4, 1, 3), (5, 3), (7, 1), (8). This will allow you to instantly extract the instruction, register and addressing modes from each instruction. Also use a union to break up the 16 bit operand into two 8 bit values.
4.    Have the instructions be inputted either through the command line or better yet, through a file, in the following format for each instruction:
a.    6 Hexadecimal characters per instruction
5.    After each instruction in the program is executed, output the PEP8 machine register values.
