BARLETTA’S BILL TO IMPROVE LAW ENFORCEMENT ACCESS TO INTELLIGENCE PASSES COMMITTEE

LEGISLATION REQUIRES INVENTORY OF FACILITIES CERTIFIED TO STORE CLASSIFIED INFORMATION

The House Homeland Security Committee yesterday passed legislation introduced by Congressman Lou Barletta (PA-11) to strengthen information sharing between local, state, and federal law enforcement. The DHS Classified Facility Inventory Act, H.R. 2443, requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to maintain an inventory of all “SCIFs,” or facilities that are certified to store information classified above the Secret level.
Law enforcement officials at all levels of government commonly share counterterrorism information. However, a recent report by the Inspectors General of the Intelligence Community, DHS, and Department of Justice found that, while counterterrorism information is usually classified at the Top Secret level, DHS personnel lack sufficient access to SCIFs where this information can be shared in the field.
Barletta’s bill addresses this issue by ensuring that the physical locations of all DHS-certified SCIF facilities will be known and accessible to DHS personnel.
“The importance of information sharing across the government cannot be overstated,” Barletta said. “As a former mayor, I understand that our local law enforcement officers are the first line of defense against terrorism. We need to make sure they are getting all of the information they need to keep us safe in a secure and timely manner. This bill eliminates unnecessary roadblocks that could prevent or delay efforts to protect our communities.”
