“…Unlike the United Kingdom or Canada, there is not a national intelligence strategy for the whole of law enforcement (J. G. Carter & Phillips, 2015; Walsh, 2015). The two versions of the NCISP, the National Strategy for Information Sharing and Safeguarding, the Fusion Center Core Operational Capabilities, and the DHS Target Capabilities List (TCL) (U.S.…”

“…Beyond the strategic issues discussed above, police organizational culture presents other information sharing challenges (Chermak et al, 2013; Desai, 2005; Joyal, 2012; Lewandowski et al, 2017a; Ratcliffe, 2007; Sanders & Henderson, 2013; Sheptycki, 2004; Walker & Katz, 2001; Walsh, 2015). Traditional, functionally structured police departments often create information silos where information in one division or unit is not shared with another division or unit (Ratcliffe, 2007; Ratcliffe & Guidetti, 2008).…”

“…Intelligence is an underutilized function in policing due to a number of factors. First, there is a perceived lack of utility to everyday police work (Sanders & Henderson, 2013; Walsh, 2015). Collecting information and intelligence that benefits homeland security is not a normal part of maintaining order or conducting police investigations.…”

The sharing of homeland security information is a crucial aspect of modern policing in the United States. This article outlines some of the obstacles to information sharing at the state and local levels, including interagency and intra-agency issues that arise for police agencies. It explores the complexities of information sharing across a highly decentralized policing system. Many police departments lack a formal intelligence function that limits their ability to share information. This article offers an organizational change model using John Kotter’s Leading Change principles that police agencies of any size can follow. It outlines Kotter’s eight-stage process from establishing a sense of urgency through anchoring new approaches in the culture to create a framework for police departments to integrate homeland security information sharing. Its intent is to provide a framework for police agencies to incrementally implement some of the recommendations of the various strategic documents that guide information sharing.

“…Collection of this intelligence calls for skilled and committed ground officers, able to think fast and trace the very simple patterns in culture and changes in behavior for those within their designated areas. Surprises and initiatives are only attained when there is effective tactical intelligence (Walsh, 2015). Every potential assessed source needs to be used to its maximum potential inclusive of the ones often ignored (Bruneau, 2008).…”

“…Another one is the Club de Berne, an IG & S alliance for the European Union (EU) member states. Moreover, EUROPOL -EU's law enforcement agency further facilitates IG & S among members of EU (Walsh, 2010). Another notable intelligence sharing arrangement is the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), an IG & S alliance comprising of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and China (Albert, 2015).…”

The central objective of this study was to identify major issues and dilemmas in intelligence gathering and sharing as a counterterrorism strategy. The research covered diverse categories of informants from various institutions and agencies cross cut by intelligence gathering and sharing in Kenya. These included: security officers from the national police service, members of civil society organizations working in areas of security and human rights, academicians and members of the public. Government officers, members of community policing department and former police reservists were also included. Exploratory research design was applied. Based on the design, a historical interrogation approach was applied to interrogate various facets of IG & S and terrorism in Kenya whereby they were chronologically documented, and the changes that have occurred over time analyzed. Data analysis was done through mixed analysis method. The study found out that diverse security reforms that have been implemented in the country since independence which have helped to improve IG & S. Major improvements were highlighted to have been streamlined in technology used, training and the information shared. Among the different forms of intelligence, human intelligence and signals intelligence were found to have played the greatest role in containing TT. The study concluded that the question of intelligence being effective or ineffective in curbing transnational terrorism is dependent on the reaction of all security agencies who receive it. The study recommended that the ability of terrorists to morph should be met with equal efforts by security forces changing their strategies in gathering and sharing information on terrorism from members of the public. All agencies should continuously go through retooling and capacity building on early warnings. Furthermore, there is need for interagency cooperation in sharing intelligence. Both domestic and foreign agencies involved in intelligence sharing should work together to boost their confidence with each other to enhance their readiness and commitment to share security intelligence.
