BRIC Technical Assistance: IIR staff members met with members of the BRIC to discuss IIR proposed edits and to finalize recommendations to the BRIC policies and procedures. This project was completed during this reporting period.
Intelligence Summit: The 2022 Intelligence Summit was hosted on August 17-18, 2022, by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the International Association of Chiefs of Police, in coordination with law enforcement, intelligence, and homeland security partners. Senior leaders from stakeholders across federal, SLTT, and campus communities participated to discuss existing intelligence and information sharing issues and gaps, as well as focus areas requiring action and resolution to address the evolving threat environment. The summit served as a forum to galvanize and unify collaboration, with senior leaders reaffirming commitments to discovering new opportunities and improving existing avenues to enhance information sharing between and across all levels of government, while ensuring the protection of privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties of U.S. citizens.
The 2022 Summit was organized into six focus areas with opportunities for participants to provide insight and feedback. IIR personnel gathered and documented the key findings and recommendations identified in the six sessions and summarized these in a Post-Event Report. The report was provided to DHS and vetted through DHS components. The final version was not published until the next reporting period but included a letter from the DHS Secretary, Alejandro N. Mayorkas, as a call to action to advance information sharing priorities. IIR also provided travel support and reimbursements for 29 DHS-approved attendees, as well as 4 IIR personnel.
