News release: “A report released today by the International Association of Chief of Police (IACP) finds that in the years since the September 11, 2001, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies have made great strides in their ability to share intelligence, which is a critical factor in our continuing effort to prevent terrorist attacks. However, the full benefits of intelligence sharing has not yet been realized because the process itself remains a mystery to many police officers, and some law enforcement executives consider their agencies too small or too remote to participate in criminal intelligence sharing. These obstacles to full participation could result in alarming gaps in the intelligence that guides our homeland security and crime fighting efforts. These findings, along with recommendations designed to assist law enforcement agencies in overcoming challenges, are contained in the IACP’s report: National Summit on Intelligence: Gathering, Sharing, Analysis, and Use after 9-11.”
