This executive summary and recommendations document addresses the need to report potential threat information to appropriate law enforcement entities via streamlined reporting methods and processes that comply with laws, regulations, and policies.
This document was developed through the efforts of the Criminal Intelligence Coordinating Council’s (CICC) Tips and Leads (TL) and Threat to Life (TTL) task team, which developed resources to support the efficient and timely sharing of TL and TTL information gained from tip lines and social media platforms. It provides a brief overview and summary of the task team’s work, presenting their recommendations for Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global) Advisory Committee and the Attorney General. The summary document provides a synopsis of the following recommendations: a framework for regional criminal intelligence sharing nodes should be developed and implemented to ensure that TTL are collected, triaged, analyzed, and disseminated to the appropriate law enforcement agencies; the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) should adopt a standard requirement that field offices participate in the National Threat Operations Center’s (NOTC’s) TTL dual routing initiative; and the privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties (P/CRCL) policy development templates for major state and urban area fusion centers and federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial (FSLTT) law enforcement entities should be revised.
