ABOUT THE WISCONSIN FUSION CENTER

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.

NATIONAL SUPPORT FOR FUSION CENTERS

In 2006, the President approved the establishment of a national integrated
network of state and major urban area information fusion centers. The U.S.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI have deployed personnel to
work within fusion centers.

FUSION CENTER GUIDELINES

The Fusion Center Guidelines were developed to ensure that fusion centers are
established and operated consistently, resulting in enhanced coordination,
strengthened partnerships, and improved crime-fighting and anti-terrorism
capabilities. The 18 guidelines and their key elements – as well as additional
resources, model policies, and implementation tools – are included in this
publication from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and DHS.

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 all hazards. Fusion centers communicate, cooperate, and coordinate
with each other and with the federal government. These centers:

 * Contribute information to ongoing federal and national-level terrorist risk
   assessments and complete statewide, regional or site-specific and topical
   risk assessments. 
 * Disseminate federally generated alerts, warning and notifications regarding
   time-sensitive threats, situational awareness reports, and analytical
   products.
 * Gather, process, analyze and disseminate locally generated information such
   as Suspicious Activity Reports.
 * Produce or interpret intelligence products relevant to stakeholders
 * Protect civil liberties and privacy interests of American citizens throughout
   the intelligence process.

THE WISCONSIN STATEWIDE INTELLIGENCE CENTER (WSIC)

The Wisconsin Statewide Intelligence Center (WSIC), operated by the Wisconsin
Department of Justice-Division of Criminal Investigation, is one of two fusion
centers in Wisconsin. WSIC serves as the primary focal point for threat
information sharing among federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement,
emergency management, fire service, public health, corrections, military and
private sector partners for the state.

In order to deter, prevent and mitigate criminal or terrorist threats while
protecting the privacy and civil liberties of U.S. citizens, WSIC accomplishes
the following mission essential tasks:

 * Provides major case support to law enforcement
 * Gathers, receives, analyzes and disseminates intelligence at the national,
   state and local levels
 * Performs critical services for government and private sector partners
 * The Clearinghouse for Missing and Exploited Children and Adults
 * The AMBER Alert Program– The Clearinghouse for Missing and Exploited Children
   and Adults
 * The Silver Alert Program
 * The Wisconsin Crime Alert Network
 * Provides Training and Outreach
 * Threat Liaison Officer and Fusion Liaison Officer Programs
 * Continuing education for government and private sector partners
 * Protect civil liberties and privacy interests of American citizens throughout
   the intelligence process.

WSIC works in partnership with the Southeastern Wisconsin Threat Analysis Center
(STAC). The STAC is a fusion center that serves the eight counties of Milwaukee,
Racine, Washington, Waukesha, Ozaukee, Kenosha, Walworth and Jefferson. The WSIC
covers all other portions of the state.
