Law

This bill would move many intelligence workers from the Department of Homeland Security out of Washington, D.C., and into local communities. The goal is to get experts closer to the actual places where security issues happen so they can react faster and better understand local needs.
Every state and local 'fusion center'—which are hubs where different police and security agencies share information—would get at least one dedicated intelligence officer and one analyst. These experts would help local police understand national threats and share information more easily.
To protect the public, all staff moving to these local roles must be trained on privacy laws and civil rights. This ensures that while they are sharing more information, they are still following the rules that protect people's personal data and constitutional rights.
The Department of Homeland Security would have two years to finish moving these workers. They would also have to give Congress a report every year to prove that the move is helping local law enforcement and making the country safer.
