Subrecipients and <br />Sectors are responsible to ensure that DARs are submitted in the proper format and in a timely <br />manner. DARs will be submitted using the CBP Stonegarden Data Management System. Friendly <br />forces receiving funding through a subrecipient will submit DARs within 48 hours. Border Patrol <br />Sectors and OPSG subrecipients will implement internal protocols to ensure operational data from <br />subrecipients and friendly force DARs are properly collected following the established guidelines. <br />In addition to the ongoing reporting of outputs, subrecipient participants will be required to submit <br />AARs to USBP sectors within 10 days of closing the operational POP for that funding year. The AAR <br />should carefully articulate outcomes and outputs as well as how the results of the operation <br />compare with the objectives identified during the pre-planning meeting. Failure to submit the AAR in <br />a timely manner may prevent the approval of future operations requests. All AARs and other OPSG <br />reporting requirements will be submitted through the CBP Stonegarden Data Management System. <br />Sectors are responsible for submitting AARs into Border Patrol Enforcement Tracking System <br />(BPETS) as applicable. <br />8.11.3. OPERATION STONEGARDEN COORDINATION <br />OPSG supports enhanced cooperation and coordination among CBP, USBP, and federal and SLTT <br />law enforcement agencies to improve overall border security. OPSG provides funding to support joint <br />efforts to secure the United States’ borders along routes of ingress/egress of international borders <br />including travel corridors in states bordering Mexico and Canada along with states and territories <br />with international water borders. OPSG also further enhances the sharing of threat information and <br />intelligence between federal and SLTT law enforcement agencies through the development and <br />sustainment of a capable workforce of analysts that have the necessary experience and training, <br />access to open source, unclassified and classified information, products, data, SAR, tips/leads, and <br />online/social media-based threats as well as necessary services and technology to facilitate analytic <br />capabilities and collaboration. <br />SLTT law enforcement agencies will utilize their own law enforcement authorities to support the CBP <br />and USBP border security mission and will not receive any additional authority as a result of <br />participation in the grant. An OPSG award does not provide any additional authority to SLTT law <br />enforcement agencies. More specifically, SLTT law enforcement agencies are not empowered <br />through OPSG to enforce immigration authorities under Title 8 of the U.S. Code (i.e., the INA). <br />SLTT law enforcement agencies are expected utilize their own jurisdictional authority in support of <br />enhanced border security unless some other agreement applies. SLTT law enforcement agencies are <br />further expected to operate within the bounds of all applicable laws, to include federal laws, state <br />statutes, and local laws, policies, and procedures. <br />OPSG is intended to support border states and territories of the United States in accomplishing the <br />following objectives: <br />.Increase intelligence and operational capabilities to prevent, protect against, and respond to <br />border security issues; <br />. <br />. <br />Increase coordination and collaboration among federal and SLTT law enforcement agencies; <br />Continue the distinct capability enhancements required for border security and border <br />protection; <br />74
