I went to the Legislature this year to get funding for our fusion center.
State and local police departments provide both space and resources for the majority of fusion centers.
Perhaps they should consider starting a fusion center.
The fusion centers gather information not only from government sources, but also from their partners in the private sector.
If fusion centers were a theoretical entity slated to begin operating in a year or two, this might be adequate.
There are currently, as of 2011, 72 fusion centers in the U.S.
The fusion center is not an operational center but a support center driven by analysis.
The bill also authorized the creation of Fusion Centers.
A fusion center is typically organized by amalgamating representatives from different federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies into one physical location.
This vision is more accurately a watch center or an investigative support center - not an intelligence fusion center.
