THE IMPORTANCE OF CAREFUL INTELLIGENCE GATHERING, STORAGE, AND DISSEMINATION IS DISCUSSED. THE NEED FOR A FAMILIARITY WITH CURRENT JUDICIAL AND LEGISLATIVE GUIDELINES, IN ORDER TO AVOID VIOLATIONS OF CIVIL LIBERTIES IS STRESSED. IT IS ALSO SUGGESTED THAT URBAN POLICE DEPARTMENTS WHICH ARE CONFRONTED WITH TERRORISM OBTAIN FROM LOCAL OR REGIONAL UNIVERSITIES SPECIALIZED PERSONNEL WITH THE REQUIRED EXPERTISE AND CLEARANCE TO FUNCTION AS DESK ANALYSTS.
