DHS: Reorganizing Law Enforcement Outreach
Legislative Progress
House
Key Points
- This bill, introduced by Representative Evans of Colorado, requires the Department of Homeland Security to reorganize its office that handles outreach to local police and other partners. The goal is to identify and remove jobs or programs that are doing the same work as other parts of the department to save money and effort.
- The office would be moved into a different division within the department's intelligence branch. This change is meant to make communication more efficient and ensure that different federal offices aren't all contacting the same local police departments for the same reasons.
- The department must create a single point of contact for law enforcement agencies and improve how they share information. Until this plan is finished and started, the department is not allowed to hire more staff or increase the budget for this specific outreach office.
- The bill also requires the government to make sure that state, local, and tribal partners continue to receive the intelligence reports and support they need during the transition.
