Inland Waters Security Review Act

This bill directs the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to submit to Congress an inland waters threat analysis that includes current and potential terrorism and criminal threats, security challenges and mitigation efforts, vulnerabilities that hinder effective security, counterterrorism, anti-trafficking efforts, and trade flow in inland waters, and metrics and performance measures.

In preparing the threat analysis, DHS shall consider

  • technology and personnel needs and challenges;
  • the roles of state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement, as well as private sector partners and the public, relating to inland waters security;
  • the need for cooperation among federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, and international partner law enforcement, as well as private sector partners and the public, relating to such security; and
  • the challenges posed by geography with respect to such security.
