How does HSI collaborate with international agencies?

HSI collaborates with international agencies primarily through sharing intelligence and participating in joint investigations. This approach enables both HSI and its international partners to leverage their unique capabilities and insights in combating transnational crime effectively. By sharing intelligence, HSI fosters a cooperative environment where vital information regarding criminal activities, patterns, and suspects can flow seamlessly between agencies. This exchange enhances the ability to track and apprehend individuals involved in international crime.

Participating in joint investigations allows HSI to work alongside foreign law enforcement agencies in real-time, combining resources and expertise to address complex issues such as human trafficking, drug smuggling, and cybercrime, which often span multiple jurisdictions. This cooperative model not only strengthens global law enforcement efforts but also builds trust and ensures a more coordinated response to criminal threats.
