Intelligence Community Directive

Intelligence Community Directive 501 (ICD 501) outlines policies and procedures for sharing intelligence information across various agencies in the U.S. intelligence community. Its main goal is to enhance collaboration, ensure effective communication, and streamline the sharing of critical information while protecting sensitive data. This directive helps agencies work together more efficiently, ensuring they have access to the information needed for national security and informed decision-making, all while maintaining necessary privacy and security measures.
