In the field addressing some of our great law enforcement partners of the “Interstate 95 Working Group” — a group of over 150 major city police chiefs, state police superintendents, and federal partner agencies — as well as some of our Canadian law enforcement partners.
This group was founded in 2004 in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks to improve intelligence sharing among these agencies. Today, in 2026, as we approach the 25th anniversary of 9/11, the FBI’s partnerships with these leaders are stronger than they have ever been — working together on the changing threat landscape, using new technology like AI, increasing intelligence sharing between federal and local agencies, advancing the FBI’s Joint Mission Center under NSPM-7, supporting our 59 Homeland Security Task Forces across the country, and so much more.
This was also where we announced the historic signing of the new CICC charter — giving the FBI and our local partners the resources we need to better share intelligence, thanks to
@AGToddBlanche and President Trump backing the blue.
