  • State, local, Tribal, and territorial governments and private-sector partners: Would get prioritized, actionable intelligence and a formal channel for sending information to I&A and receiving timely analysis back.
  • DHS I&A and departmental leaders: Would be required to balance intelligence support to the Secretary with ongoing operational support for field and private partners and to maintain robust work with fusion centers.
  • Congress and oversight: The Under Secretary must report within 180 days to four congressional committees on steps taken, progress on two-way sharing, metrics used, and any resource or organizational changes needed.

More Homeland Security intelligence for local and private partners

This bill would refocus the Department of Homeland Security’s intelligence office to prioritize support for State, local, Tribal, and territorial governments and private sector partners. It would require forward-deployed capabilities, two-way information sharing, and steady engagement with fusion centers. Support for the Secretary would not be allowed to crowd out service to those partners. Within 180 days of enactment, the Under Secretary would have to report to four congressional committees. The report would cover steps taken, progress on two-way sharing, metrics to judge results, and needed resource or organization changes. It would not change the office’s watchlisting work. These changes would take effect upon enactment and would not create new funding or taxes.
