counterterrorism

During this reporting period, IIR, at the direction of the PM-ISE and in partnership with DHS and the FBI, began the development of the Enhanced Engagement Initiative. This resource is designed to identify elements and practices that are designed to build and enhance engagement among FBI field offices, fusion centers, and other field-based information sharing partners to address terrorist threats. As a part of this effort, a task team meeting was held on April 6, 2017, in McKinney, Texas. It is anticipated that the EEI resource will be finalized in the next reporting period.

IIR provides logistical and travel reimbursement support for certain participants to attend specific events. On November 17 through November 19, 2016, such support was provided for state law enforcement personnel to attend the Louisiana Counterterrorism Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana.
