Historic Perspective► Pre 9/11
► Legal/procedural restrictions separated intelligence and criminal investigations
► Need for information sharing and interoperability not emphasized
► Policy Drivers For Interoperability► USA PATRIOT Act (Oct. 2001)► Homeland Security Information Act of 2002► U.S. Attorney General Directive (Apr. 2002)► Presidential Executive Order 13388 (Oct. 2005)► HSPD-6► HSPD-11► ISE► NIP
