The most important thing we build is trust

“The simple issue of building a
physical versus a smart barrier,
where 21st Century technologies are
used, is a battle that has just begun,”
Nelson Balido, CEO, Border Commerce & Security Council, said in an
interview with Institute for Defense
& Government Advancement (IDGA)
before its 2017 Homeland Security
Week conference.
“Local and state issues must be
taken into consideration, private
land owners will certainly have
skin in the game, as will various
other groups,” Balido said. “In the
end, we need solutions that give our
front-line agents a force-multiplier
effect to keep everyone safe and
accomplish the mission.”
Standardized processes
What border security authorities
also need are standardized processes for surveillance and reconnaissance, says Emily Keplar,
intelligence functional manager at
the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) in Washington, who
oversees intelligence collection
and reporting.
The DHS needs ways to establish
multi-layered intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR)
plans that align resources and command structures to synchronize
DHS activities, Keplar says.
“We have to provide timely intel-
ligence to our DHS components
and our federal, state, local, and
tribal partners, allowing a proactive
approach rather than strictly a reac-
tive approach to threats,” Keplar
says. “Infrastructure and archi-
tecture will be key to generating
actionable intelligence. Ensuring we
have proper connectivity to sensors,
customers, and decision-makers
is critical... Finding new solutions
and sharing existing resources is
becoming more necessary.”
The DHS Silicon Valley Innova-
tion Program — a partnership of
high-tech industry, DHS Science
& Technology (S&T), and Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) — is
working to enhance the situational
awareness of Border Patrol agents
who often operate in harsh terrain
under extreme physical conditions,
