Legal and Policy Approach for Responsible Information Sharing: The Role of the Information Sharing Environment (ISE)
"Responsible information sharing requires policy mechanisms and legal authorities that encourage sharing, with appropriate safeguards, as well as a proven way to resolve legal and policy issues that may impede such sharing. The Information Sharing Environment (ISE) established by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (IRTPA) offers a successful legal and policy approach for information sharing and safeguarding. That model could be adopted and used to support the Administration's broader information sharing goals. Information sharing and safeguarding challenges exist at all levels of government -- federal, state, local, tribal -- with our international partners, and in the private sector. Under the IRTPA, the role of the Program Manager for the Information Sharing Environment (PM-ISE) is to facilitate progress to resolve these challenges within the scope of the ISE -- i.e., to facilitate responsible information sharing to combat the threats of terrorism and Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), and to promote homeland security. PM-ISE has at its disposal a set of foundational legal authorities, contained in section 1016 of IRTPA. Using these authorities, PM-ISE has worked with an array of stakeholders to implement privacy guidelines, to help establish a national network of state-run fusion centers, to design and implement a system for sharing suspicious activity reports (SARs) with protections for privacy and civil liberties, and to use the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) to facilitate responsible information sharing."

Brief History of the Information Sharing Environment (ISE)
"As the nation enters the second decade following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, our information sharing challenges are maturing. Sharing cybersecurity information poses new opportunities. Safeguarding information has always been a critical component of responsible information sharing, but has taken on a new urgency in the wake of unauthorized disclosures of classified and sensitive information. In light of these developments, it is useful to review the recent history of information sharing policy, with a focus on the Information Sharing Environment (ISE) created by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (IRTPA). Section 1016 of the IRTPA established an Information Sharing Environment (ISE) for counterterrorism, weapons of mass destruction, and homeland security information. The ISE is a success because it is based on principles of sound information management. The ISE is grounded in initiatives led by the Departments and agencies at all levels of government, and it is informed by their needs and requirements. The ISE is supported by effective governance mechanisms, including integration with the budget process. The ISE also incorporates protections for privacy and civil liberties, which are critical to public confidence. These features provide a model for successful information sharing. […] This paper traces the evolution of the Information Sharing Environment (ISE) in the context of information sharing reforms and outlines goals for the future of responsible information sharing."

National Child Traumatic Stress Network: COVID-19 Resources [website]
From the Website: "Public health is the science of protecting and improving the health of people and their communities. This work is achieved by promoting healthy lifestyles, researching disease and injury prevention, and detecting, preventing and responding to infectious diseases. Overall, public health is concerned with protecting the health of entire populations. These populations can be as small as a local neighborhood, or as big as an entire country or region of the world (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2020). When public health emergencies occur, there is rapidly evolving information that may be confusing and lead to feelings of anxiety. In the event of an outbreak in your community, your first concern is about how to protect and take care of yourself, your children and your family. Knowing important information about the outbreak and learning how to be prepared can reduce your stress and help calm likely anxieties. These resources will help you think about how an infectious disease outbreak or pandemic might affect your family-- both physically and emotionally--and what you can do to help your family cope in times of public health emergencies."

Information for Law Enforcement Officials: Immigration Relief for Victims of Human Trafficking and Other Crimes
From the Document: "Human Trafficking is a heinous criminal activity that violates federal law and the laws of most states. Also known as trafficking in persons, human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery in which traffickers often lure individuals with false promises of employment and a better life. Under federal law, there are two categories of severe forms of trafficking: sex trafficking and labor trafficking. Severe forms of trafficking involve force, fraud, or coercion (with the exception of cases involving sex trafficking victims who are less than 18 years of age, which do not require force, fraud, or coercion). U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), play a significant role in combating human trafficking. [...] There are three forms of immigration relief available to victims of human trafficking - Continued Presence, T visas, and U visas. As a Federal, State, local, tribal, or territorial law enforcement official, it is important to understand the three forms of immigration relief available to victims of human trafficking and your role in each process."

Shared Responsibility: Counternarcotics And Citizen Security in the Americas, Hearing Before the, Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Peace Corps, and Global Narcotics Affairs of the Committee on Foreign Relations, United States Senate, One Hundred Twelfth Congress, First Session, March 31, 2011
From the opening statement of Robert Menendez: "Welcome to our hearing on shared responsibility, counternarcotics and citizen security in the Americas. Let me thank our panelists for coming today. We look forward to your insights. Let me begin by laying out the framework for our discussion today and some sobering statistics. Latin America and the Caribbean region has one of the highest crime rates of any region in the world. According to the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crimes, in 2003 the homicide rate in Latin America and the Caribbean was 19.9 per 100,000 people. By 2008, the rate had climbed to an astounding 32.6 per 100,000 people. In El Salvador, the rate is estimated to be as high as 71 per 100,000, despite President Funes's tremendous efforts to combat the maras, gangs that are largely responsible for violent crime. It is not a coincidence that cocaine seizures in Central America have also tripled during this time period. The problem is no longer limited to transit or trafficking in drugs, but has expanded into production and domestic consumption. Earlier this month, Honduran authorities found a cocaine processing laboratory in the remote northeastern mountains capable of producing 440 to 880 pounds of cocaine a week." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Robert Menendez, Cynthia Arnson, William R. Brownfield, Vanda Felbab-Brown, Stephen Johnson, R. Gil Kerlikowske, Eric Olson, and William F. Wechsler.

Supporting Innovation, Creativity & Enterprise: Charting a Path Ahead, U.S. Joint Strategic Plan on Intellectual Property Enforcement
From the Document: "The Joint Strategic Plan is a forward-looking document, concentrating almost exclusively on the nature of the impediments to effective enforcement and how best to overcome these challenges during the plan's three-year term. The Joint Strategic Plan does not provide a summary of all the progress made in the fulfilment of intellectual property enforcement initiatives over the past few years. There have been numerous accomplishments and initiatives to observe: from increased seizure and enforcement statistics to high-profile arrests and convictions; to the posting of Intellectual Property Law Enforcement Coordinators (IPLECs) and Intellectual Property Attachés around the world; to the bipartisan passage and enactment of the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Public Law 114-153 (May 11, 2016), to name a few. To learn more about these and many other important accomplishments, please refer to the Annual Report on Intellectual Property Enforcement issued by the Office of the Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator, and submitted to the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Appropriations of the U.S. Senate, and the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Appropriations of the U.S. House of Representatives, pursuant to Section 304 of the PRO-IP Act, 15 U.S.C. § 8814."

Immigration Options for Victims of Crimes
"Many immigrants are fearful of admitting that they have been a victim of a crime in part because they believe they will be removed (deported) from the United States if they report the crime. Officials such as police officers, healthcare providers, judges, and prosecutors are often the first to see the signs of violence and are therefore in a unique position to provide information and assistance to those who have been victims. This brochure is designed to assist front-line workers in this endeavor."
