Welcome to the National Security Division. Created by the reauthorization of the USA PATRIOT Act in March 2006, the Division merges the primary national security elements of the Department of Justice, fulfilling a key recommendation of the March 2005 report of the Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD Commission). The Division consists of the Counterterrorism and Counterespionage Sections; the Office of Intelligence, which consists of three sections (i.e., Operations Section, Oversight Section, and Litigation Section); a new Law and Policy Office; the Office of Justice for Victims of Overseas Terrorism; and an Executive Office.
