Federal law enforcement agents and intelligence analysts from the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice met with their supporting active duty and reserve component military counterparts during the annual 2011 Joint Task Force North Intelligence Conference, held 8-10 March, at Fort Bliss, Texas. The JTF North conference, co-sponsored by DHS’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis, served as a forum for the development and planning of future intelligence initiatives to counter transnational criminal organizations and threats directed against the nation. Using both small and large group information exchange methodologies, the law enforcement agents, intelligence professionals, and supporting military personnel focused on drug trafficking, alien smuggling, aerial and maritime smuggling, terrorism, tunnels, cross-border gangs, weapons smuggling, threat finance, and information sharing and collaboration. JTF North incorporates the lessons learned and intelligence requirements that evolved from the conference into its future intelligence support operations provided to the federal law enforcement agencies.
