Components should contact the Privacy Officer (PO) immediately, through the Office
of the General Counsel, Office of Privacy and
Disclosure, for all requests for information involving national security or other ad hoc disclosure
situations.
Before referring the case to the PO, quickly find out as much as information as possible
about the crime or other activity prompting the request, the requester's position
in the law enforcement agency or other agency, and the information needed. You may
ask the requester to fax or email a written request. Notify your Regional Privacy
Act Coordinator if you contact the PO.
