National Criminal Intelligence Sharing Plan Version 1.0
iii
Executive Summary
The need for a National Criminal
Intelligence Sharing Plan (“Plan”) was
recognized as critical after the tragic
events of September 11, 2001, when
nearly 3,000 innocent lives were lost as a
result of terrorist attacks against the
United States. This event initiated a
concerted effort by American law
enforcement agencies to correct the
inadequacies and barriers that impede
information and intelligence
sharing―so that future tragedies could
be prevented.
In spring 2002, law enforcement
executives and intelligence experts
attending the International Association
of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Criminal
Intelligence Sharing Summit recognized
that local, state, tribal, and federal law
enforcement agencies and the
organizations that represent them
must work towards common
goals―gathering information and
producing intelligence within their
agency and sharing that intelligence
with other law enforcement and public
safety agencies. Summit participants
called for the creation of a nationally
coordinated criminal intelligence
council that would develop and oversee
a national intelligence plan.1 In response
1 Additional information on the IACP Summit can be located in
Recommendations from the IACP Intelligence Summit, Criminal
Intelligence Sharing: A National Plan for Intelligence-Led
Policing at the Local, State, and Federal Levels. This document is

port.pdf.
to this crucial need, the Global Justice
Information Sharing Initiative (Global)
Intelligence Working Group (GIWG)
was formed. Local, state, and tribal law
enforcement representatives were key
participants in the development of the
National Criminal Intelligence Sharing
Plan.
Many state law enforcement agencies
and all federal agencies tasked with
intelligence gathering and assessment
responsibilities have established
intelligence functions within their
organizations. However, approximately
75 percent of the law enforcement
agencies in the United States have less
than 24 sworn officers, and more often
than not, these agencies do not have
staff dedicated to intelligence functions.
Officers in these smaller, local agencies
interact with the public in the
communities they patrol on a daily
basis. Providing local agencies with the
tools and resources necessary for
developing, gathering, accessing,
receiving, and sharing intelligence
information is critically important to
improving public safety and homeland
security. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO
classification of criminals correctly &
SINCE THE DEPT OF CORRECTIONS HAS THE GREATEST
POTENTIAL TO TRULY FULFILL IT'S MISSION STATEMENT
OF PROTECTING THE PUBLIC PERHAPS THEY SHOULD STOP
TEACHING THAT UNIQUE FORM OF KUNG-FU "OSTRICH STYLE"
TO JUST STICK THEIR HEADS IN THE SAND OR ANY OTHER
CONVENIENT DARK QUIET HOLE & IGNORE INCIDENTS ,NOT REPORT OR DOCUMENT
POTENTIAL PREDATORIAL BEHAVIOR ETC.
LET THE OFFICERS DO THE JOBS THEY GET OVER 30$ AN HOUR FOR!
