What is the purpose of the ITTF?
The mission of the Illinois Terrorism Task Force is to implement a comprehensive, coordinated strategy for domestic preparedness in the state of Illinois, bringing together agencies, organizations and associations representing all disciplines in the war against terrorism. Serving as an advisory body to the Governor, the Illinois Terrorism Task Force provides statutory recommendations and guidance on homeland security laws, policies, protocol and procedures. Members of the task force maintain an all-hazard approach to preparedness. The task force continues to build upon a strong foundation of established working partnerships among federal, state, and local entities, their private and non-governmental partners, and the general public toward the facilitation and coordination of resources.
