This guidance helps ensure that sensitive information is shared appropriately, in compliance with laws and regulations, and with the necessary safeguards in place to protect privacy and confidentiality. It also aims to promote transparency, collaboration, and efficiency in information sharing processes.

The purpose of the information sharing guidance is to provide guidance to law enforcement agencies on how to share information effectively with other law enforcement agencies, government agencies, and private sector entities.
