Kentucky Intelligence Fusion Center
What is a Fusion Center?
• A teamwork effort among agencies that provides resources,
expertise, and information with the goal of maximizing the
ability to detect, prevent, apprehend, and respond to criminal
and terrorist activity.
• The principal role is to compile, blend, analyze, and
disseminate criminal intelligence and other information
(including but not limited to threat assessment, public safety,
law enforcement, public health, and public works information) to
support these efforts.
• Fusion Centers are threat-driven and act as an effective
framework for prevention, while providing traditional intelligence
services specific to investigative case support. As opposed to
Emergency Operations Centers- focus on disaster
response/recovery efforts (both natural and man-made).
• A Fusion Center is not merely a “data warehouse” of federal,
state and local law enforcement information. It is a
collaboration of agencies providing access to differing levels of
information/data, when linked together and analyzed produces
actionable intelligence for law enforcement/public safety
personnel at all levels.
• The Fusion Center “maximizes resources”, the benefit is the
collective experience/expertise of all member participants.
