The summit was attended by law enforcement executives and intelligence experts from across the country. Participants discussed the capacities for and barriers to intelligence sharing, the standards and guidelines that direct intelligence sharing, technology and training related to intelligence sharing, and important legal and civil rights that must guide all criminal intelligence gathering and sharing processes. Discussions also focused on the unique potential for community-oriented policing initiatives to aid in the collecting of locally driven intelligence. Summit participants called upon Federal leaders to recognize the need for all law enforcement agencies at every level to cooperate in the creation of a National Intelligence Plan. The proposed plan would establish a coordinating council composed of local, State, tribal, and Federal law enforcement executives, to be called The Criminal Intelligence Coordinating Council, which would oversee and implement the National Intelligence Plan. The plan also addresses the legal obstacles to the effective transfer of criminal intelligence among authorized enforcement agencies. In issuing this call for a National Intelligence Plan, Summit participants noted that the details of the plan and the mandate of the Criminal Intelligence Coordinating Council must be sufficient to overcome the substantial barriers that hinder intelligence sharing. Some of the most significant barriers identified include the absence of a nationally coordinated process for intelligence generation and sharing; the "hierarchy" within the law enforcement and intelligence communities; Federal, State, local, and tribal laws and policies that prevent intelligence sharing; the inaccessibility and/or disaggregation of technologies to support intelligence sharing; and deficits in intelligence analysis. This report outlines the core recommendations for achieving the National Intelligence Plan. 26 notes and a list of Summit participants
