Homeland Security Information Network Law and Legal Definition
The Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN) is a computer based network that provides law enforcement officials at local, state, tribal, and federal level with a means to securely collaborate with partners across geographic and jurisdictional boundaries. The HSIN is run by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Commonly, the HSIN is used during operations focused on weapons smuggling, narcotics trafficking, and gang mitigation. Law enforcement professionals also use HSIN to share information including Be on the Lookouts (BOLOs), Requests for Information (RFIs), For Your Information (FYIs), Intelligence Reports, and other Law Enforcement Sensitive documents.
1HSIN helps in sharing "Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU)" information among the various government agencies.Legal Definition list
