The activities of personnel assigned to this section include active investigations of international, domestic and biological terrorism with federal law enforcement partners, coordination of similar federal and local investigations, and involvement in domestic preparedness issues. The Counter-Terrorism Section includes the Arson and Explosives Units of the Oregon State Police.
The section provides law enforcement support and coordination to the Governor's Homeland Security Advisor and Oregon’s Adjutant General, Major General Raymond F. Rees.
Supervisors and Detectives assigned to this office must qualify for and receive appropriate national security clearances.
