Interagency Border Security
Abstract
The primary current venue for exploring/developing interagency capabilities centers on a collaborative effort with Joint Task Force-North (JTF-N) to explore and develop multiple types of sensors designed to improve information gathering and sharing across numerous agencies. JTF-N will be conducting multiple border security operations throughout the year designed to identify, interdict, disrupt, and prosecute organized criminal elements operating along the United States borders. These operations will typically involve numerous partner organizations including the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, the US Coast Guard, Customs and Border Patrol as well as state and local law enforcement agencies. Beginning in FY 2010, participating organizations will conduct operational evaluation of multiple new sensors provided under the umbrella of Project Overwatch in order to enhance situational awareness, planning ability and intelligence gathering capability. The multi-sensor technology applications will facilitate synchronization of interagency operations, and enable better sharing of information and intelligence.
