“For the first time the Government would have under one roof the capability to identify and assess threats to the Homeland, map
those threats against our vulnerabilities, issue timely warnings and take action to help secure the Homeland… The Department would
integrate its own and others’ threat analyses with its comprehensive vulnerability assessment to identify protective priorities and
support protective steps to be taken by the Department, other federal departments and agencies, state and local agencies, and the
private sector.”
--President G.W. Bush at the signing of the Homeland Security Act 2002

“The local police, more than the federal government, have their finger on the pulse of the local community from which a domestic terrorist may come.” –
Testimony of Secretary Jeh Johnson before the House Committee on Homeland Security on September 17, 2014
As focal points for the receipt, analysis, gathering, and dissemination of threat-related information between state, local, tribal, and territorial governments
and the private sector, fusion centers are uniquely situated to enhance the national threat picture and enable local officials to better protect their
communities from a variety of threats.
!
The success of fusion centers depends on the quality and timeliness of the information they receive.! I&A has a special responsibility to support fusion
center efforts, collaborate on threat analysis, and support the two-way flow of information, leveraging unique Suspicious Activity Reporting data and
