LM, Washington, D.C. 20548. 520 $a Following the September 11 terrorist attacks, state and local governments formed fusion centers, collaborative efforts to detect, prevent, investigate, and respond to criminal or terrorist activity. Recognizing that the centers are a critical mechanism for sharing information, the federal government -- including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Program Manager for the Information Sharing Environment (PM-ISE), which has primary responsibility for governmentwide information sharing -- is taking steps to partner with fusion centers. This testimony focuses on (1) the characteristics of fusion centers as of September 2007 and (2) federal efforts to help alleviate challenges centers identified. This testimony is based on GAO's October 2007 report on 58 fusion centers and related federal efforts to support them as well as updated information GAO obtained in March 2008 by reviewing plans describing selected federal efforts and attending the second annual National Fusion Center Conference. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 $a Terrorism $z United States $x Prevention. 650 0 $a Information networks $z United States. 650 0 $a Intergovernmental cooperation $z United States. 650 0 $a Interagency coordination $z United States. 710 1 $a United States. $b Ad Hoc Subcommittee on State, Local, and Private Sector Preparedness and Integration $b Senate. $b Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. $b Ad Hoc Subcommittee on State, Local, and Private Sector Preparedness and Integration 710 1 $a United States. $b Government Accountability Office 856 40 $u http://purl.access.gpo.gov/GPO/LPS94716 856 40 $z CLICK HERE TO VIEW: $u http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d08636t.pdf 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160824061100.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2242E32AFE5F11E2B6A414D3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
