What The National Criminal Intelligence
Sharing Plan Can Be—The Vision
• A model intelligence sharing plan
• A mechanism to promote intelligence-led policing
• A blueprint for law enforcement administrators to follow
when enhancing or building an intelligence system
• A model for intelligence process principles and policies
• A plan that respects and protects individuals’ privacy and
civil rights
www.it.ojp.gov/global
What The National Criminal Intelligence
Sharing Plan Can Be—The Vision (Continued)
• A technology architecture to provide secure, seamless sharing
of information among systems
• A national model for intelligence training
• An outreach plan to promote timely and credible intelligence
sharing
• A plan that leverages existing systems and networks, yet
allows flexibility for technology and process enhancements
www.it.ojp.gov/global
Key Components of the Plan
• Provide minimum standards for establishing and
managing an intelligence function. The standards
focus on the intelligence process and include the
following elements: mission of the function,
management and supervision, personnel selection,
training, security, privacy rights, development and
dissemination of intelligence products, and
accountability measures
www.it.ojp.gov/global
Key Components of the Plan (Continued)
• Provide model policies and guidelines for implementing or
reviewing an agency’s intelligence function
• Examples include
– 28 CFR Part 23
– International Association of Chiefs of Police’s Criminal
Intelligence Model Policy
– Law Enforcement Intelligence Unit’s Criminal
Intelligence File Guidelines
www.it.ojp.gov/global
Key Components of the Plan (Continued)
• Establish a Criminal Intelligence Coordinating
Council to provide a nationally coordinated process
for intelligence generation and sharing
• Offer the riss.net/Law Enforcement Online (LEO)
connection as the initial sensitive but unclassified
communications backbone for implementation of a
nationwide criminal intelligence sharing capability
www.it.ojp.gov/global
Key Components of the Plan (Continued)
• Recommend that existing systems at the local, state, tribal,
regional, and national levels promptly link to the
riss.net/LEO communications capability in order to leverage
information sharing systems and expand intelligence sharing
• Recommend that local, state, tribal, and federal law
enforcement agencies partner with the public and private
sectors in order to detect and prevent attacks to the nation’s
critical infrastructure
www.it.ojp.gov/global
Key Components of the Plan (Continued)
• Offer guidelines for protecting individuals’ privacy
and constitutional rights within the intelligence
process
• Recommend fingerprint-based background checks
for access to the intelligence systems accessible on
the nationwide communications capability
www.it.ojp.gov/global
Key Components of the Plan (Continued)
• Provide training standards for all levels of law
enforcement personnel
• Recommend methodologies for sharing classified
reports
• Promote the concepts of standards-based intelligence
sharing and intelligence-led policing through
education and outreach
www.it.ojp.gov/global
Key Components of the Plan (Continued)
• Encourage the use of existing, comprehensive reference
documents as resources for issues relating to information
sharing, system security practices, and privacy
• Examples include
– Justice Information Privacy Guideline-Developing, Drafting and
Assessing Privacy Policy for Justice Information Systems
– Applying Security Practices to Justice Information Sharing
– Global Justice Extensible Markup Language (XML) Data Model and
