Whitepaper: U.S./Canada Border Security Post Summit Report

The U.S./Canada Border Security Summit, held on April 3-4, 2012 in Dearborn, Michigan, focused on how the Beyond the Border vision of a multi-layered, intelligence-driven approach can be operationalized and driven forward by the agencies and programs responsible for protecting the borders. The Summit brought together thought leaders and key policy-makers across U.S. and Canadian local, state, provincial and federal law enforcement for actionable discussion and debate on several of the key focus areas of the Action Plan.

In combination with the U.S./Canada Border Security Summit, DSI partnered with Deloitte Federal, to produce this Post Summit / After Action Report.

The report highlights the key themes discussed by leaders in the border security mission, including a view of the collaborative work already underway to enhance individual and shared border security efforts, an analysis of the challenges faced by both countries in order to implement the Beyond the Border strategy, and a look forward to the future of a risk-based, intelligence-driven joint vision for supply chain security at the U.S./Canada border.

DSI is proud to offer this After Action Report Complimentary to the Border and Homeland Security Community.
