Department of Homeland Security Intelligence and Analysis Training Act

H.R. 4429, the Department of Homeland Security Intelligence and Analysis Training Act, would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to establish a standardized training program for personnel within its Office of Intelligence and Analysis. This program is designed to ensure that officials responsible for identifying and sharing information about domestic and foreign threats are properly trained in intelligence collection, analysis, and the protection of civil liberties. For the public, this bill aims to improve national security by ensuring that the government’s intelligence professionals have the consistent skills and legal oversight necessary to identify safety threats while respecting the constitutional rights of citizens.
