DHS/ICE/PIA-004 ICE Pattern Analysis and Information Collection (ICEPIC)

ICE has established a system called the ICE Pattern Analysis and Information Collection (ICEPIC) system. ICEPIC is a toolset that assists ICE law enforcement agents and analysts in identifying suspect identities and discovering possible non-obvious relationships among individuals and organizations that are indicative of violations of the customs and immigration laws as well as possible terrorist threats and plots. The Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for ICEPIC was published in January 2008. This PIA Update is being completed to provide transparency related to the Law Enforcement Information Sharing Service (LEIS Service) that enables law enforcement agencies outside DHS to query certain information available through ICEPIC. Additionally, DHS law enforcement personnel are able to query external law enforcement agencies’ sensitive but unclassified law enforcement information.
