This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Intelligence and Analysis to create and run standardized training for its workforce. It sets a required entry-level curriculum that new hires must begin within 90 days and before starting official duties. The entry training must include civil rights, civil liberties, and Privacy Act topics. The bill also requires additional training for analysts (covering the Office’s role, intelligence community analytic standards, and writing and sourcing) and for open‑source collectors (covering collection techniques, privacy rules, and data management). The Secretary must develop specialized and advanced courses, including training on raw intelligence release authority, and publish a quarterly list of outside training available to employees. DHS must track employee completion of training and report to Congress starting two years after enactment and annually for five years. The bill takes effect one year after enactment and includes a Comptroller General review to compare DHS training with other intelligence community and Department of Defense training.
No publicly available information on costs or funding is included in the bill text provided.
The bill text itself directs development of specialized and advanced training “to improve the activities and operations of the Office of Intelligence and Analysis and promote professional development among employees.” It also requires tracking and regular reporting to Congress and a comparison review by the Comptroller General.
