FBI's joint terrorism task forces and with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Both departments have assigned analysts to work full-time at the center, Rawlins said. http://albuquerque.bizjournals.com/columbus/stories/2007/05/14/focus2.html

investigation vs collection
- "The SAIC serves as a secure central fusion process for the collection, filtering, analysis and dissemination of terrorism-related information.
- "“We get people to relay information to us at the Fusion Center and push it on up. We’re not an investigative entity; we just get the intelligence where it needs to go.”"

CIMS[edit]

OHIO SAIC... contact information and a management system called CIMS Xenia.oh.us

"

It is a secure, web-based program that allows local agencies to report suspicious activities observed within the community. It is also a format where regular intelligence from the State can be shared with local governments informing about activities and groups involved in unsavory activities. The City of
Xenia has been registered with that group since its inception. The program is not restricted to just Police and Fire; in fact, they heavily encouraged Public Service Department personnel to have a registry. Maintenance and street workers have firsthand observation capabilities. They shared what signs to look for that might indicate potential terrorist activities. He will register one or two more people on the website. The State of Ohio initiated a confidential citizen hotline to report suspicious activities. The number is 1-877-OHSINTEL (467-4683). They would like the City to be a part of disseminating information on the type of suspicious behaviors so it is specifically targeted to real threats rather than reporting someone who is simply disliked.

Contact and Information Management System (CIMS). Implemented in 2003, CIMS
provides both private and public sector users with a secure “one-stop-shop” source for receiving relevant and timely homeland security and all-hazards information. CIMS allows alerts and/or messages to be sent to various jurisdictions and agencies simultaneously. In addition to the messaging function, CIMS provides other information, including time sensitive and high-priority alerts, intelligence and informational bulletins from local, state and federal agencies, grant information, training information, and online video intelligence and training briefings.

partial decision automation

“Information Fusion is the science behind Critical Infrastructure Protection, Homeland Security, ForceNet and Maritime Domain Awareness. Currently there are hundreds of rooms with hundreds of individuals all tracking 10’s of thousands of aircraft, maritime vessels, ground vehicles and individuals with everyone looking for the needle in the haystack. Information Fusion reduces the rooms and individuals and finds the needle, pulls it out of the hay and puts it where it won’t hurt anybody.”

texas[edit]

Texas Intelligence Fusion Center In November 2005, Texas Intelligence Fusion Center incorporated the existing Texas Security Alert and Analysis Center (TSAAC). DPS' Criminal Law Enforcement section established TSAAC in 2003 to coordinate the state's intelligence, response and warning systems.

The Intelligence Fusion Center collects, analyzes and resolves reports of suspicious activity using the ERN's suspicious incident management capability. Homeland Security Information Network The Fusion Center's "SENTRY" report uses YHD's suspicious activity report and management feature to collect the "dots" so they may be connected. The Fusion Center can immediately initiate 24/7 alert and notification to the 1,200 Texas Police Chiefs and 254 County Sheriffs within minutes through a one-stop interface.

The Utah Fusion Center is not part of the pilot project but has launched the “Intelligence Liaison Officer Program” that will train local law enforcement throughout the state. Reporting to the Legislature’s interim Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice committee about the project in May 2008, Jeff Carr, the Utah Fusion Center’s supervisor at the Utah Department of Public Safety, noted that a similar program in Colorado already had nearly 200 officers “feeding information to the center.” The Colorado program uses utility workers and employees of private companies in addition to law enforcement.

Boeing and the fusion centers have similar goals, Hovel said. The private sector, which owns about 80 percent of critical infrastructure, needs to have real-time access to information from the fusion centers. At the same time, the fusion centers need access to "mature intelligence capabilities" in private companies, Hovel said.
