PANEL SESSIONS
Wednesday, February 25
"Security - DHS Component Entities"
10:00 a.m. - 11:15 a.m.
Panel 1: Customs and Border Protection (CBP): Leveraging Information-Sharing to Enhance Operations Between and at Ports of Entry
This panel will provide insight into the many ways in which CBP operational components are working together to utilize operational intelligence, information and data to anticipate, plan, prepare, interdict and respond to the continuous - and changing - stream of threats at and between Ports of Entry. The panelists will explore CBP projects, programs, task forces and investments, with emphasis on lessons-learned and the way ahead for information-sharing and collaboration across the organization. Each member of the panel will address their individual area of responsibility within CBP. This dynamic discussion will include a look at the unique threats entering the US through its ports; special challenges along the northern border; the changing relationship between Intelligence and Targeting; and "What next?" for CBP in its continuing evolution within the Department of Homeland Security.

Panel 2: "Emerging Ideas in Interior Enforcement"
ICE is working on a multi prong approach in the area of Interior Enforcement: Identification and Removal of Criminal Aliens (Secure Communities; Detention and Removal Operations; Office of State and Local Coordination), Identify Leads from Law Enforcement and other Federal Partners (Suspicious Activity Reporting/Information Sharing, Gang Task Force), Efficiently Managing available bed space capacity (Detention and Removal Operations) and prosecuting smuggling rings/unfair employment practices (Work site Enforcement). We feel that by managing the current mission with these key initiatives, ICE will be able to more readily support the State and Local demand to assist with the removal of our most dangerous criminal aliens.

Panel 3: DoD/Coast Guard/National Guard
Today’s complex security environment places increased demands on the capabilities and resources of departments and agencies across the U.S. Government. Individually, departments and agencies are not as effective as when we unify our actions toward achieving a common vision. DoD strongly supports initiatives to increase unity of effort across the government for addressing our common national security problems. The panel will discuss the significant progress toward this end that has been made over the past five years. The panel will also discuss the need for continued improvement and sustained focus in developing whole-of-government strategies and plans, as well as addressing operational seams between military and civilian agencies. For homeland security, the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security are establishing a pilot Task Force for Emergency Readiness consisting of a small group of interagency planners to develop plans that ensure a whole-of-government response to disasters. The task force will integrate local, state, and federal organizations, as well as the private sector. Moderator: Mr. Bruce Walker
