II.

Fusion Center Definition

The Department's Crime Prevention and Information Center is one of over seventy-five fusion centers in the United States. 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 terrorists 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, and relevant and actionable intelligence results from analysis and data fusion. The fusion process helps agencies be proactive and protect communities.

III.

Role of Fusion Centers

State and regional fusion centers enable local, state, and tribal governments to gather, process, analyze, and share information and intelligence relating to all crimes and hazards while protecting civil liberties and privacy interests of persons throughout the intelligence process. Fusion centers communicate, cooperate, and coordinate with each other and with the federal government. They disseminate federally generated alerts, warnings, and notifications regarding time-sensitive threats, situational awareness reports, and analytical products and they fulfill criminal-predicate-based requests for information from Chicago Police Department members and federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.
