The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently concluded a memorandum of cooperation (MOC) with several Caribbean nations under the umbrella of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Implementation Agency for Crime and Security (IMPACS). It is a biometric-sharing deal which lays out cooperation between the community and the United States on the exchange of biometric information for border control and vetting.
