SEC. 701. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) The intelligence component of a State, local, 
or regional fusion center (in this title referred to 
generally as ‘‘fusion centers’’) focuses on the intel-
ligence process, in which information is collected, in-
tegrated, evaluated, analyzed, and disseminated. The 
Federal Government and nontraditional sources of 
intelligence information—such as public safety enti-
ties at the State, local, and tribal levels, and private 
sector organizations—all possess valuable informa-
tion that when ‘‘fused’’ with law enforcement data 
and properly analyzed at fusion centers can provide 
law enforcement officers with specific and actionable 
intelligence about terrorist and related criminal ac-
tivity.
(2) Participation by local and tribal law en-
forcement officers and intelligence analysts in fusion 
centers helps secure the homeland by involving such 
officers and analysts in the intelligence process on a 
daily basis, by helping them build professional rela-
tionships across every level and discipline of govern-
ment and the private sector, and by ensuring that 
intelligence and other information, including threat 
assessment, public safety, law enforcement, public 
health, social service, and public works, is shared 
throughout and among relevant communities. Such 
local and tribal participation in fusion centers sup-
ports the efforts of all law enforcement agencies and 
departments to anticipate, identify, monitor, and 
prevent terrorist and related criminal activity. 
(3) Some local and tribal law enforcement agen-
cies and departments, however, lack resources to 
participate fully in fusion centers. 
(4) Needs-based grant funding will maximize 
the participation of local and tribal law enforcement 
agencies and departments in fusion centers by re-
ducing the costs associated with detailing officers 
and intelligence analysts to fusion centers. Con-
sequently, such grant funding will not only promote 
the development of more effective, resourceful, and
situationally aware fusion centers, but will also ad-
vance the cause of homeland security. 
SEC. 702. FLEET GRANT PROGRAM. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—Subtitle A of title II of the Home-
land Security Act of 2002 is further amended by adding 
at the end the following new section: 
‘‘SEC. 203. FLEET GRANT PROGRAM. 
‘‘(a) IMPLEMENTATION
PLAN
AND
ESTABLISH-
MENT.—
‘‘(1) IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.—Not later than 
90 days after the date of the enactment of the Im-
plementing the 9/11 Commission Recommendations 
Act of 2007, the Secretary shall develop a Fusion 
and Law Enforcement Education and Teaming 
Grant Program (in this section referred to as the 
‘FLEET Grant program’) implementation plan and 
submit to the appropriate congressional committees 
a copy of such plan. In developing such plan, the 
Secretary shall consult with the Attorney General, 
the Bureau of Justice Assistance, and the Office of 
Community Oriented Policing of the Department of 
Justice and shall encourage the participation of fu-
sion centers and local and tribal law enforcement 
agencies and departments in the development of 
such plan. Such plan shall include—
‘‘(A) a clear articulation of the purposes, 
goals, and specific objectives for which the pro-
gram is being developed; 
‘‘(B) an identification of program stake-
holders and an assessment of their interests in 
and expectations for the program; 
‘‘(C) a developed set of quantitative 
metrics to measure, to the extent possible, pro-
gram output; and 
‘‘(D) a developed set of qualitative instru-
ments (e.g., surveys and expert interviews) to 
assess the extent to which stakeholders believe 
their needs and expectations are being met by 
the program. 
‘‘(2) ESTABLISHMENT.—Not later than 180 
days after the enactment of the Implementing the 9/
11 Commission Recommendations Act of 2007, the 
Secretary shall implement and carry out a FLEET 
Grant program under which the Secretary, in con-
sultation with the Attorney General, shall make 
grants to local and tribal law enforcement agencies 
and departments specified by the Secretary, in con-
sultation with the Attorney General, for the pur-
poses described in subsection (b). Subject to sub-
section (g), each such grant shall be made for a two-
year period. 
‘‘(b) USE OF GRANT AMOUNTS.—
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—A grant made to a local or 
tribal law enforcement agency or department under 
subsection (a) shall be used to enable such agency 
or department to detail eligible law enforcement per-
sonnel to participate in a fusion center that serves 
the geographic area in which such agency or depart-
ment is located, and may be used for the following 
purposes: 
‘‘(A) To hire new personnel, or to pay ex-
isting personnel, to perform the duties of eligi-
ble law enforcement personnel who are detailed 
to a fusion center during the absence of such 
detailed personnel. 
‘‘(B) To provide appropriate training, as 
determined and required by the Secretary, in 
consultation with the Attorney General, for eli-
gible law enforcement personnel who are de-
tailed to a fusion center. 
‘‘(C) 
To 
establish 
communications 
connectivity between eligible law enforcement 
personnel who are detailed to a fusion center 
and the home agency or department of such
personnel in accordance with all applicable laws 
and regulations. 
‘‘(2) MANDATORY
PRIVACY
AND
CIVIL
LIB-
ERTIES TRAINING.—All eligible law enforcement per-
sonnel detailed to a fusion center under the FLEET 
Grant Program shall undergo appropriate privacy 
and civil liberties training that is developed, sup-
ported, or sponsored by the Privacy Officer and the 
Officer for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties in part-
nership with the Privacy and Civil Liberties Over-
sight Board. 
‘‘(3) LIMITATION.—A local or tribal law en-
forcement agency or department participating in the 
FLEET Grant program shall continue to provide a 
salary and benefits to any eligible law enforcement 
personnel detailed to a fusion center, in the same 
amounts and under the same conditions that such 
agency or department provides a salary and benefits 
to such personnel when not detailed to a fusion cen-
ter. None of the funds provided by the FLEET 
grant program may be used to carry out this para-
graph. 
‘‘(4) 
ELIGIBLE
LAW
ENFORCEMENT
PER-
SONNEL
DEFINED.—For purposes of this section, 
the term ‘eligible law enforcement personnel’ means
any local or tribal law enforcement officer or intel-
ligence analyst who meets each eligibility require-
ment specified by the Secretary. Such eligibility re-
quirements shall include a requirement that the offi-
cer or analyst has at least two years of experience 
as a law enforcement officer or intelligence analyst 
with the local or tribal law enforcement agency or 
department selected to participate in the FLEET 
Grant program. 
‘‘(c) APPLICATIONS.—
‘‘(1) IN
GENERAL.—No grant may be made 
under subsection (a) unless an application for such 
grant has been submitted to, and approved by, the 
Secretary, in consultation with the Attorney General. 
Such an application shall be submitted in such form, 
manner, and time, and shall contain such informa-
tion, as the Secretary, in consultation with the At-
torney General, may prescribe by regulation or 
guidelines. 
‘‘(2) JOINT APPLICATIONS.—A local or tribal 
law enforcement agency or department may file a 
joint grant application to detail eligible law enforce-
ment personnel to a fusion center. Such application 
shall be—
‘‘(A) for a single detailed officer or intel-
ligence analyst, who shall be detailed to work at 
a fusion center on a full-time basis; or 
‘‘(B) in the case of participating local and 
tribal law enforcement agencies or departments 
for which a detail arrangement described in 
subparagraph (A) is likely to result in hardship 
due to a staffing shortage (as determined by 
the Secretary, in consultation with the Attorney 
General), for several eligible law enforcement 
personnel from multiple local or tribal law en-
forcement agencies or departments in the same 
geographic area, who shall be detailed to a fu-
sion center, each on a part-time basis, as part 
of a shared detail arrangement, as long as—
‘‘(i) any hours worked by a detailed 
officer or analyst at a fusion center in a 
shared detail arrangement shall be counted 
toward the hourly shift obligations of such 
officer or analyst at his or her local or 
tribal law enforcement agency or depart-
ment; and 
‘‘(ii) no detailed officer or analyst 
working at a fusion center in a shared de-
tail arrangement shall be required to regu-
larly work more hours than the officer or 
analyst would otherwise work if the officer 
or analyst was not participating in the 
shared detail arrangement. 
‘‘(d) DISTRIBUTION OF GRANTS.—In considering ap-
plications for grants under subsection (a), the Secretary, 
in consultation with the Attorney General, shall ensure 
that, to the extent practicable—
‘‘(1) entities that receive such grants are rep-
resentative of a broad cross-section of local and trib-
al law enforcement agencies and departments; 
‘‘(2) an appropriate geographic distribution of 
grants is made among urban, suburban, and rural 
communities; and 
‘‘(3) such grants are awarded based on consid-
eration of any assessments of risk by the Depart-
ment of Homeland Security. 
‘‘(e) PRIORITY.—The Secretary, in consultation with 
the Attorney General, shall issue regulations regarding the 
use of a sliding scale based on financial need to ensure 
that a local or tribal law enforcement agency or depart-
ment that is eligible to receive a grant under subsection 
(a) and that demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Sec-
retary, in consultation with the Attorney General, that it 
is in financial need (as determined by the Secretary, in
consultation with the Attorney General) receives priority 
in receiving funds under this section. 
‘‘(f) MATCHING FUNDS.—
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—Subject to paragraph (2), 
the portion of the costs of a program, project, or ac-
tivity funded by a grant made to an entity under 
subsection (a) may not exceed 80 percent. 
‘‘(2) EXCEPTION.—The Secretary, in consulta-
tion with the Attorney General, may waive, wholly or 
in part, the requirement under paragraph (1) of a 
non-Federal contribution to the costs of a program, 
project, or activity if the entity receiving the grant 
for such program, project, or activity can dem-
onstrate to the satisfaction of the Secretary, in con-
sultation with the Attorney General, that it would be 
a hardship for such entity to satisfy such require-
ment. 
‘‘(g) RENEWAL OF GRANTS.—A grant made to a local 
or tribal law enforcement agency or department under 
subsection (a) may be renewed on an annual basis for an 
additional year after the first two-year period during 
which the entity receives its initial grant, if—
‘‘(1) the entity can demonstrate to the satisfac-
tion of the Secretary, in consultation with the Attor-
ney General, significant progress in achieving the
objectives of the application for the initial grant in-
volved; and 
‘‘(2) such renewal would not prevent another 
local or tribal law enforcement agency or department 
that has applied for a grant under subsection (a), 
has not previously received such a grant, and that 
would otherwise qualify for such a grant, from re-
ceiving such a grant, as determined by the Sec-
retary, in consultation with the Attorney General. 
‘‘(h) REVOCATION OR SUSPENSION OF FUNDING.—
If the Secretary, in consultation with the Attorney Gen-
eral, determines that a grant recipient under this section 
is not in substantial compliance with the terms and re-
quirements of an approved grant application submitted 
under subsection (c), the Secretary, in consultation with 
the Attorney General, may revoke or suspend funding of 
that grant, in whole or in part. In the case of a revocation 
or suspension of funds under this subsection based on a 
determination of fraud, waste, or abuse, with respect to 
a grant recipient, such grant recipient shall be required 
to refund the grant funds received under subsection (a) 
that are related to such fraud, waste, or abuse, respec-
tively.
