1. Domestic Intelligence
What are the capabilities and limitations of domestic intelligence efforts in supporting the
homeland security enterprise? Do you feel that the U.S. is appropriately structured and
resourced to adequately provide timely, accurate and actionable domestic intelligence to
support the entire spectrum of intelligence users (customers) from the Federal government
down to state and local agencies (both now and into the future)? This paper should provide
an examination of the various elements that comprise U.S. domestic intelligence efforts
(from local law enforcement to national intelligence agencies) and how those entities
contribute to the supporting the homeland security enterprise in collaboratively protecting
American Citizens. In crafting your paper, it would be good to remember the lessons
learned from the 9/11 Commission on the difficulties of getting various agencies from all
three levels of government to collaborate as well as intelligence sharing
lessons/recommendations. Also, address the capability of the homeland security enterprise
to adequately identify and address future challenges. In developing your response, you
should address challenges of providing for homeland security while maintaining civil
liberties as well as emerging trends and patterns such as homegrown terrorism and the
proliferation of communication encryption technologies.#Domestic #Intelligence
