Social Media Policy Development |
Developing a Policy on the Use of Social Media in Intelligence and Investigative Activities: Guidance and Recommendations
With the increasing use of social media by law enforcement and the potential concerns for maintaining citizens’ privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties, it is important to develop and implement a policy on the use of social media in intelligence and investigative activities. To assist agencies in drafting a social media policy, the Bureau of Justice Assistance—with the support of the Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative Advisory Committee and the Criminal Intelligence Coordinating Council—has developed a resource for law enforcement leadership and policymakers on the use of information obtained from social media sites as a part of criminal intelligence and investigative activities.
The guidance document is available at http://it.ojp.gov/GIST/132/Developing-a-Policy-on-the-Use-of-Social-Media-in-Intelligence-and-Investigative-Activities--Guidance-and-Recommendations-.

DHS Turns the Page on HSIN Identity Management
The Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN) was designed as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) official information sharing platform. HSIN now has the ability to determine a user’s access to the network based on his or her attributes and job function. Essentially, HSIN—at the department level—recognizes the full spectrum of a user’s job, and it connects that user only to the data needed to do his or her job.
