System name:
    Joint Protection Enterprise Network.

System location:
    Booz-Allen Hamilton, Inc, 5201 Leesburg Pike, Suite 400, Falls 
Church, VA 22041-3203.

Categories of individuals covered by the system:
    Any individual, civilian or military, involved in, witnessing or 
suspected of being involved in or reporting possible criminal activity 
affecting the interests, property, and/or personnel on a DoD 
installation.

Categories of records in the system:
    Investigative information supporting known or suspected suspicious 
activity and incidents at DoD installations. Information includes 
subject's name, aliases, Social Security Number, address(es), telephone 
number, date of birth, driver's license number, passport number, 
license plate number, vehicle description, description of occupants, 
source of investigation, risk analysis, threat assessment, victim 
names, names of informants, names of law enforcement officers and 
investigators, and subject's group affiliations, if any.

Authority for maintenance of the system:
    10 U.S.C. 113, Secretary of Defense; 10 U.S.C. 3013, Secretary of 
the Army; 10 U.S.C. 8013, Secretary of the Air Force; 10 U.S.C. 5013,

L. 81-831); 40 U.S.C. 318, Special Police; and E.O. 9397 (SSN).

Purpose(s):
    To create an integrated, cross-domain, information sharing program 
on force protection and threat related events that potentially impact 
the security of DoD installations within the United States. The program 
will permit timely sharing of essential information among military, law 
enforcement, and intelligence organizations that, as part of their 
mission, collect and disseminate such information as a means of 
identifying and combating possible threats. The program can document, 
refer, track, monitor, and evaluate suspected criminal activity 
affecting the interests, property, and/or personnel on a DoD 
installation.

Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories 
of users and the purposes of such uses:
    In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 
552a(b) of the Privacy Act, these records or information contained 
therein may specifically be disclosed outside the DoD as a routine use 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as follows:
    To Federal, state, and local law enforcement, security, and 
intelligence agencies for the purpose of providing force protection and 
threat information impacting on the security of DoD installations 
within the United States when disclosure is authorized by statutory 
and/or regulatory authority and the information is required in order 
for the receiving agency to discharge its assigned responsibilities.
    The DoD ``Blanket Routine Uses'' published at the beginning of the 
Joint Staff's compilation of systems of records notices apply to this 
system.
