President Obama has assembled a feral partnership among law enforcement agencies to improve homeland security, Courthouse News Service reports.
The White House Homeland Security Partnership Council and Steering Committee will include the Justice Department, State Department and Homeland Security.
A total of 19 agencies will be represented, the Courthouse News Service wrote.
The idea is to “enhance our ability to address homeland security priorities, from responding to natural disasters to preventing terrorism, by utilizing diverse perspectives, skills, tools, and resources,” Obama said.
He added, “We must tap the ingenuity outside government through strategic partnerships with the private sector, nongovernmental organizations, foundations, and community-based organizations.”
