Terrorist Threat Integration Center recently created by President Bush:
Justice Intelligence Coordinating Council
The success of the nation's efforts to combat terrorism and other criminal
threats requires the intelligence components of the Department of Justice
to coordinate their collection, production and dissemination of
intelligence, as well as efforts to recruit, develop and retain
intelligence professionals. To that end, the Attorney General today
announced the establishment of a Justice Intelligence Coordinating Council
(JICC). By coordinating our intelligence collection, the JICC will provide
better support and information to the Terrorist Threat Integration Center
recently created by President Bush, and will additionally aid the functions
of the new Terrorist Screening Center as well.
The JICC Will Be the Senior Level Coordination Mechanism for All
Intelligence Related Activities Conducted by the Department and Its
Subordinate Organizations.
*It will improve the integration of the Department's intelligence related
activities conducted for national security, homeland security, and criminal
law enforcement purposes.
*It also will provide the Department a unified voice in the Intelligence
Community and in federal coordination with state, local, and tribal law
enforcement.
The Department Is Committed to Exercising Its Intelligence Functions within
the Bounds of the Constitution, Laws and Guidelines that Protect the
Privacy of Law-Abiding Americans.
*In coordinating the Department's intelligence activities, the JICC will
ensure adherence to these laws and guidelines and respect for civil
liberties. The performance of intelligence functions by the Department of
Justice integrates intelligence and law enforcement in order to combat
terrorism and other threats to our country without sacrificing the freedoms
that we cherish.
*Components of the Justice Department are subject to open Congressional
oversight and operate within a framework of judicial checks and balances
that protect civil liberties
The JICC Improves the Justice Department's Structure for Cooperating More
Closely with the Intelligence Community and the Department of Homeland
Security.
*The Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director
of Central Intelligence signed an agreement in 2003 to govern the sharing
of homeland security information.
*The JICC will give the Attorney General a more effective way to monitor
implementation of its provisions by the Justice Department components
covered by this agreement.
The Justice Department has Collaborated with the Global Justice Information
Sharing Initiative, Led By the International Association of Chiefs of
Police, to Develop a National Criminal Intelligence Sharing Plan.
*The Plan was approved by the IACP in October 2003 and endorsed by the
Attorney General in November 2003.
*The JICC will provide a more effective way for all the criminal law
enforcement components of the DOJ to continue this collaboration during
implementation of the National Criminal Intelligence Sharing Plan and the
Department's Law Enforcement Information Sharing strategy.
The JICC Will Strengthen the Process for Coordinating Department of Justice
Participation in the Intelligence-Related Work of the Homeland Security
Council, the National Security Council, and Other National-Level Bodies.
LEADERSHIP AND MEMBERS:
The Attorney General Intends to Appoint the FBI Executive Assistant
Director for Intelligence, Maureen A. Baginski, as the First JICC
Chair. She will have the responsibility to develop guidance and oversight
procedures and to coordinate with other intelligence coordination entities
to meet JICC requirements.
*A coordinating staff made up of representatives from all JICC member
organizations will support the activities of the JICC. They will work in
concert with each Department of Justice intelligence organization in
preparing material for the JICC and JICC Chair.
Membership on the JICC Will Include:
*Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives
*Bureau of Prisons
*Drug Enforcement Administration
*Federal Bureau of Investigation
*National Central Bureau (INTERPOL)
*Office of Intelligence Policy and Review
*Office of Tribal Justice
*U.S. Marshall's Service
