Federal State Defense Plan Calls for Unified Police and Intelligence Network
A measure outlines integrating local and state police with FBI and military intelligence into a single system. Investigations remain with the FBI and armed forces while local police report into a vast field service. A new federal agency under the FBI would catalog propaganda from foreign nations for public access. Attorney General Jackson says no new legislation needed to create it. The plan also seeks expanded laws requiring registration and public accounting of foreign agents, excluding those with diplomatic immunity.
