What key provision of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 directly addresses information sharing between intelligence agencies and law enforcement?

Section 892 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, often referred to as the 'Information Sharing' section, is a key provision directly addressing information sharing between intelligence agencies and law enforcement. This section was intended to break down the 'wall' between intelligence and law enforcement that had previously hindered the flow of information relevant to national security. It authorized the sharing of foreign intelligence information with federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, as long as the information related to actual or potential threats to national security, including terrorism. This provision aimed to improve coordination and collaboration between intelligence and law enforcement communities, enabling them to more effectively prevent and respond to terrorist attacks and other threats.
