Intelligence Fusion Centers

We are very interested in Fusion Centers.
For now, let’s just leave it at that.
Some current information: there evidently are 72 state-based intelligence fusion centers, and Janet Napolitano just announced that DHS is creating a new office to support them.
Things this office will do, according to Matthew Harwood at Security Management, include the following:
“It will survey state, local, and tribal law enforcement to get feedback on what information these “first preventers” need to do their job. The office will also develop a mechanism to gather, analyze, and share both national, regional, and local threat information up and down the intelligence network. Third, the office will coordinate with fusion centers to continuously ensure they get the appropriate personnel and resources from DHS. Fourth, the JFC-PMO will provide training and exercises to build solid relationships between fusion center personnel and promote a sense of common mission. Finally, the office will train fusion center personnel to respect the civil liberties of American citizens.”
That last mission sounds great, doesn’t it?
