​​Fusion Centers are a combined effort of law enforcement, public safety, and private entities.

What is a Fusion Center?

A fusion center is a collaborative effort of two or more agencies that provide resources, expertise, and information to the center with the goal of maximizing their ability to detect, prevent, investigate, and respond to criminal and terrorist activity.  Intelligence processes through which information is collected, integrated, evaluated, analyzed, and disseminated are a primary focus.

Data fusion involves the exchange of information from different sources including law enforcement, public safety, and the private sector. Relevant and actionable intelligence results from analysis and data fusion.  The fusion process helps agencies be proactive and protect communities.
