Unclassified Summary of Information Handling and Sharing Prior to the April 15, 2013 Boston Marathon Bombings
"As outlined in a May 21, 2013, memorandum from the participating Inspectors General, the objectives of this review were to determine: [1] The extent of the information available to the U.S. government concerning the relevant individuals and events preceding the Boston Marathon bombings; [2] Whether the sharing of this information was complete, accurate, and in compliance with U.S. counterterrorism and information sharing, policies, regulations, and U.S. laws; and [3] Whether there are weaknesses in protocols and procedures that impact the ability to detect potential threats to national security. In furtherance of these objectives, the Offices of Inspector General (OIGs) sought to develop a chronology of the events leading up to the bombings based on information that was known to the U.S. government prior to April 15, 2013. We also sought to identify what additional information existed and may have been available to the U.S. government before the bombings. In considering whether information that existed prior to the bombings was 'available' to the U.S. government, the OIGs took into account the limited facts known to U.S. government agencies prior to the bombings and the extent of the government's authority under prevailing legal standards to access that information. As a result, the scope of this review included not only information that was in the possession of the U.S. government prior to the bombings, but also information that existed during that time and that the federal government reasonably could have been expected to have known before the bombings."

FY 2013 Statistics Yearbook
This is the Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Statistics Yearbook, prepared by the Office of Planning, Analysis, and Technology of the Executive Office for Immigration Review. From the Director's introductory letter: "Each year, the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) adjudicates hundreds of thousands of cases. These adjudications happen in our immigration courts nationwide, at the Board of Immigration Appeals, and before the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer. The annual reporting of EOIR's statistics presents information on our case receipts and completions and looks at the characteristics of the cases before each adjudicative part of the agency. In September 2011, I convened a Data Working Group to assess how EOIR collects, tracks and disseminates data. In October 2012, the Department of Justice, Office of the Inspector General released a report consistent with EOIR's plans for an overhaul of our statistical methodology. Overall, we determined that we needed to expand the way in which we evaluate our workload so that the public could more easily receive comprehensible answers to their statistics questions. As such, we have developed a new methodology, which will be used for all future external statistical reports, and on which this Fiscal Year 2013 Statistics Yearbook is based."

Audit of the Community Oriented Policing Services Hiring Recovery Program Grant Administered by the City of Tulsa, Oklahoma
"The Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General, Audit Division, has completed an audit of the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Hiring Recovery Program (CHRP) grant, Grant No. 2009-RJ-WX-0073, awarded to the City of Tulsa, Oklahoma. This grant provided $3,505,446 in funding to the City of Tulsa to retain 18 sworn officers. The objective of our audit was to review performance in the following areas: (1) internal control environment; (2) drawdowns; (3) grant expenditures, including personnel; (4) budget management and control; (5) Financial, Progress, and Recovery Act Reports; (6) grant requirements; (7) program performance and accomplishments, including community policing; and (8) retention plan. […] The City of Tulsa was unable to provide supporting documentation for some responses; therefore, for those responses we conducted our own research and gathered data that we used to determine whether the application response was reasonable. Although we found supporting documentation for three of nine application responses, we ultimately found them to be inaccurately reported in the City of Tulsa's CHRP application. We also assessed the effect of the City of Tulsa's inaccurate application data and determined that it did not appear to have affected the suitability of the award."

"The OIG [Office of the Inspector General] is an independent entity within the DOJ [Department of Justice] that reports to both the Attorney General and Congress. The OIG's mission is to investigate allegations of waste, fraud, and abuse in DOJ programs and personnel, and to promote economy and efficiency in DOJ operations. The OIG has jurisdiction to review programs and personnel in all DOJ components, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), and the U.S. Attorneys' Offices."

Review of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces Fusion Center
"This review examined the operations of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) Fusion Center (OFC) and assessed its process for sharing its analytical products. The OFC is a multi-agency intelligence center that produces intelligence products in response to requests from federal investigators (requesters). The Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) Special Operations Division (SOD) supports the OFC in developing these products. […] Although we found that OFC products may provide information that is valued by the investigators and prosecutors who use them, the OIG [Office of the Inspector General] review identified deficiencies in the OFC's operations that could limit its contribution to the OCDETF Program's effectiveness."

Audit of the Executive Office for United States Attorneys' Laptop Computer and Electronic Tablet Encryption Program and Practices
"Ensuring the proper encryption of laptop computers (laptops) and electronic tablets used by United States Attorney's Office (USAO) employees, contractors, and subcontractors is essential to the security of the information that is processed on those machines. While each U.S. Attorney is the chief federal law enforcement officer for their jurisdiction, it is the Executive Office for the United States Attorneys (EOUSA) that provides general executive assistance, direction, policy development, and management oversight of encryption policies and practices. The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) performed this audit to determine whether EOUSA complies with Department of Justice (DOJ) policy regarding: (1) the use of whole disk encryption on employee, contractor, and subcontractor laptops processing sensitive and classified information; and (2) laptop encryption procedures for contractors and subcontractors. In the process, we also included electronic tablets because EOUSA received a waiver of certain encryption requirements from the Department to deploy this type of electronic tablet in a pilot program."

Audit of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Management of Terrorist Watchlist Nominations [Redacted]
From the Executive Summary: "The Terrorist Screening Center (TSC) was created to consolidate the U.S. government's approach to terrorism screening and to develop and maintain a Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) or terrorist watchlist. The TSC is administered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) with support from the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), the Intelligence Community, and law enforcement agencies. [...] The OIG [Office of the Inspector General] has performed five previous audits of watchlist-related activities and has made numerous recommendations to improve the watchlist. In addition to reviewing the impact of the December 25, 2009, failed terrorist attack, this audit also assessed the effectiveness of FBI initiatives, implemented between 2009 and 2012 that were intended to ensure the accuracy, timeliness, and completeness of the FBI's watchlisting practices, including watchlist nominations and removals."

Investigation of the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections' Use of Solitary Confinement on Prisoners with Serious Mental Illness and/or Intellectual Disabilities
"The Civil Rights Division has completed its investigation of the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections' ('PDOC') use of solitary confinement on prisoners with serious mental illness ('SMI') and intellectual disabilities ('ID'). The investigation was conducted pursuant to the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act ('CRIPA'), 42 U.S.C. § 1997. CRIPA authorizes the Department of Justice to seek equitable relief where conditions in state correctional facilities violate the rights of prisoners protected by the Constitution of laws of the United States. […] Or systemwide investigation found that the Commonwealth uses solitary confinement in ways that violate the rights of prisoners with SMI/ID. However, it is important to note that in the months since we issued our Cresson Findings Letter, the overall number of prisoners with SMI/ID that PDOC subjects to solitary confinement has gone down. Moreover, PDOC's leadership has been developing new policies, that if adopted and implemented, would further reduce the number of prisoners with SMI/ID in solitary and improve mental health services for prisoners with SMI. Nonetheless, much more needs to be done. Throughout the PDOC system, hundreds of prisoners with SMI/ID remain in solitary confinement for months and sometimes years, with devastating consequences to their mental health, in violation of their rights under the Eighth Amendment and the ADA [Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990].

The FY 2013 audit resulted in an unmodified opinion on the financial statements. For FY 2012, the FBI received an unqualified opinion on its financial statements (OIG Audit Report No. 13-11)."

Strengthening the Relationship Between Law Enforcement and Communities of Color
"On April 4, 2014, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) hosted a conference with law enforcement officials, civil rights activists, academic experts, community leaders, and policymakers at the Ford Foundation offices in New York City. This forum was the first in a series of forums focusing on building trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. The meeting built on the findings of an earlier conference--held on January 12, 2012, and hosted by the COPS Office in conjunction with the National Network for Safe Communities (NNSC)--that addressed 'Racial Reconciliation, Truth-Telling, and Police Legitimacy.'[…] This meeting focused on identifying an 'agenda for action' to provide a concrete plan for confronting this profound misunderstanding and breaking the cycle of mistrust and cynicism that for too long has fractured the relationship between the police and communities of color and subverted the power of their mutual cooperation."

Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative Annual Report 2014
"Never before has America's need for justice information sharing (JIS) been more compelling. The absence of this capability, however, has plagued practitioners for decades. While broadscale exchange has yet to be achieved, claims that the problem has gone unaddressed are unwarranted. The U.S. Department of Justice's (DOJ) Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global) Advisory Committee (hereafter, GAC or Committee) exists to make recommendations and support the chief law enforcement officer--the U.S. Attorney General-- on promising technical and policy JIS solutions. With the support and guidance of the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) and DOJ, the GAC has concentrated its diverse expertise on challenges and opportunities for justice and public safety information sharing. Since 1998, members of this Federal Advisory Committee--representing justice and public safety communities at all levels of government--have actively advocated information sharing while safeguarding citizens' constitutional rights. Global is aimed at facilitating the appropriate 'availability of information' and is truly a national effort."

Attorney General's Annual Report to Congress and Assessment of U.S. Government Activities to Combat Trafficking in Persons: Fiscal Year 2014
From the introduction: "Trafficking in persons, or human trafficking, is a widespread form of modern-day slavery. Human traffickers target all populations, around the world and right next door: women and men, adults and children, citizens and non-citizens, English speakers and non-English speakers, and people from all socioeconomic groups. Some populations--such as runaway children, undocumented immigrants, indigent people, and individuals with physical and mental disabilities--are particularly vulnerable to human trafficking. Victims are often lured by human traffickers with false promises of good jobs and better lives, and then forced to work under brutal and inhumane conditions. Due to the hidden nature of the crime--human trafficking victims may work in the open, but the coercion that ensnares them may be more subtle--it is difficult to accurately estimate the number of victims. Despite this challenge, the United States has led the world in the campaign against this terrible crime both at home and overseas."

Survey of State Criminal History Information Systems, 2012
"This is the twelfth survey of criminal history information systems conducted by SEARCH, The National Consortium for Justice Information and Statistics, since 1989. Some of the tables include data from previous surveys. Caution should be used in drawing comparisons between the results of earlier surveys and the data reported here. Over the course of the survey years, the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), has continued to administer assistance programs dedicated to improving criminal history records. As a result, some states focused new or additional resources on the condition of their records and, in many cases, know more about their records today than in the past. […]Given the dramatic advances in information technology, legislative and social trends that increase demand for criminal history record access, and the need for criminal record managers to respond to these developments, BJS and SEARCH conducted an in-depth review of the previous survey questions and developed a revised survey instrument for 2012. SEARCH updated formats for easier response and collection of data and also added new questions to collect information on new and emerging information sharing practices. Many of these changes were suggested by users and respondents during the review process. Comments and suggestions focused on-- 1)increasing data on wanted person and disposition reporting 2) charge tracking and the flagging of records 3) livescan usage and repository operations 4) rap back services 5) how information is disseminated and how it is used. SEARCH continues to use an online database system to collect more complete and comprehensive survey data. Features include online, password-protected reporting forms that allow respondents to complete and submit individual sections of the survey, as well as to examine/update previously submitted portions. The Survey of State Criminal History Information Systems, 2012 consists of 39 data tables of information, and reflects the evolving criminal record management environment."

Police Consolidation: Collaborating with Stakeholders
From the Document: "For those communities that have implemented or are considering options that would result in sharing, consolidating, or regionalizing public safety services with other public sector entities, the quality of solutions and the success of their implementation depend on the ability of leaders and citizens to gather and in good faith analyze relevant information, carry on careful and rational discussions of tough issues, and craft workable plans in a timely fashion with a minimum of divisive conflict. 'Police Consolidation: Collaborating with Stakeholders' aims to help those charged with exploring options for transforming an organization and for delivering public safety services by presenting a step-by-step process to constructively engage a group of stakeholders and formulate options for transformation."
