“...we have also a large number of arrests and deportations that we have to meet ... Well, if you do the simple back-of-the-napkin math, it’s not going to be possible with the number of officers and agents that we have, even when we hire them,” he said.

The agency’s tech shop intends to further “exploit” the Cyber Talent Management System, a special hiring program launched by DHS in 2021 to target skilled cyber professionals for hiring, he said.

The measure would have also capped the office at 250 employees. But one source familiar says I&A is sitting at around 500 employees now, down from around 1,000 earlier this year. Law enforcement groups also had misgivings about the proposed measure.

The statute — ultimately yanked from the final House draft of the Intelligence Authorization Act — would have prohibited I&A from both collecting and analyzing intelligence, turning it into a clearinghouse for intelligence gathered by other spy agencies.
