To amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to provide for an Office of Intelligence and Analysis and an Office of Infrastructure Protection, and for other purposes.
Summary
H.R. 5004 proposes a structural reorganization of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to improve how the government identifies and responds to national threats. The bill would create two specialized offices—the Office of Intelligence and Analysis and the Office of Infrastructure Protection—to separate the tasks of gathering intelligence from the physical protection of critical assets like power grids and transportation hubs. For citizens, these changes are intended to streamline communication between federal and local law enforcement, ensuring that security information is shared more efficiently to prevent emergencies and protect public infrastructure.
