(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following: (1) The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) currently operates a centralized model for the Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) of the Department, with a significant concentration of analytic functions based in Washington, DC. (2) DHS already maintains a robust ten-region field structure utilized by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), I&A, and other DHS components that should continue to be leveraged to improve intelligence integration. (3) Effective homeland security intelligence requires closer collaboration between Federal partners and State, local, Tribal, and territorial (SLTT) partners, including fusion centers, and joint or interagency task forces. (4) Decentralizing analytic functions will improve operational relevance, responsiveness, and coordination, while generating efficiencies across DHS components and with SLTT partners.
