MIAC • Fusion centers operate as state and major urban area focal points for the receipt, analysis, gathering, and sharing of threat-related information between federal, state, local, tribal, territorial (SLTT) and private sector partners.

(The 911 Commission Report, 13.3 Unity of Effort in Sharing Information)#4Information Maine Analysis and An Center Fusion Center Continued MIAC Created in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Fusion Centers¹ are state- owned and operated centers that serve as focal points in states and major urban areas for the receipt, analysis, gathering and sharing of threat-related information between State, Local, Tribal and Territorial (SLTT), federal and private sector partners. The centers are organized into the National Network of Fusion Centers which brings critical context and value to Homeland Security and Law Enforcement that no other federal or local organization can replicate. Fusion Centers utilize this network to share information on emerging threats, providing partners with a unique perspective on threats to their state or locality. The National Network of Fusion Centers is the hub of much of the two-way intelligence and information flow between the federal government and our SLTT and private sector partners. The fusion centers represent a shared commitment between the federal government and the state and local governments who own and operate them. Individually, each is a vital resource for integrating information from national and local sources to prevent and respond to all threats and hazards. The enhanced collaboration between the federal government, SLTT and private sector partners represents the new standard through which we view homeland security.#5Information Maine Analysis and An Center Fusion Centers MIAC There are 80 fusion centers in the network. Each state has at least one Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sponsored fusion center. Some states have multiple fusion centers (e.g. Massachusetts) which has a State owned and operated fusion center run by the Massachusetts's State Police and the Boston Regional Intelligence Center which supports the greater metropolitan Boston area. Maine only has one fusion center. Fusion centers contribute to the information sharing process so that critical information impacting public safety does not "slip through the cracks". Our nation faces an evolving threat environment, in which threats not only emanate from outside our borders, but also from within our communities. Centers receive threat information from the federal government; analyze that information within the context of their local environment; and disseminate that information to state and local agencies. Centers receive, analyze and - when appropriate - share tips, leads, and suspicious activity reports (SAR) from local agencies and the public with the federal government. Integrating and connecting these state and local resources creates a national capacity to gather, process, analyze, and share information in support of efforts to protect the country and the State of Maine. Finally, the MIAC functions to support all law enforcement agencies by providing analytical support for major or complex criminal investigations. This support frees law enforcement agencies and investigators to focus on the investigation while MIAC staff perform analytical and research functions.#6Analysis and An Information Maine MIAC Center National Fusion Center Network Seattle - Washington State Fusion Center (WSFC) Salem-Oregon Terrorism Information Threat Assessment Network (TITAN) Fusion Center (OTFC) Sacramento- Central California Intelligence Center (CCIC) Sacramento - California State Threat Assessment Center (STAC) San Francisco Northern California Regional Intelligence Center (NCRIC) Los Angeles - Joint Regional Intelligence Center (JRIIC) Map of State & Major Urban Area Fusion Centers Carson City- Newada Threat Analysis Center (NTAC) Helena - Montana Analysis and Technical Information Center (MATIC) Bismarck - North Dakota State and Locall Information Center (NDSLIC) Meridian - Idaho Criminal Intelligence Center (IC) Sandy- Utah Statewide Information & Analysis Center (SIAC) Las Vegas - Southern Nevada Counter Terrorism Center (SNCTC) Cheyenne - Wyoming Information and Analysis Team (WIAT) Lakewood - Colorado Information Analysis Center (CIAC) Sioux Falls - South Dakota Fusion Center (SDFC) Lincoln Nebraska Information Analysis Center (NIAC) Saint Paul - Minnesota Fusion Center (MNFC) Milwaukee - Southeastern Wisconsin Threat Analysis Center (STAC) Madison - Wisconsin Statewide Intelligence Center (WSIC) Des Moines - Division of Intelligence and Fusion Center (DOVFC) Topeka - Kansas Intelligence Fusion Center (KIFC) Kansas City - Kansas City Regional Terrorism Early Warning Group (KCTEW) Oklahoma City-Oklahoma Information Fusion Center (OIFC) Orange Orange County lintelligence Assessment Center (OCIAC) San Diego - San Diego Law Enforcement Coordination Center (SD-LECC) Phoenix-Arizona Counter Terrorism Information Center (ACTIC) Santa Fe New Mexico All Source Intelligence Center (NMASIC) McKinney North Texas Fusion Cente (NTFC) Springfield-Statewide Terrorism Intelligence Center (STIC)) Saint Louis Saint Louis Fusion Center (STLFC) Jefferson City - Missouri Information and Analysis Center (MIAC) Little Rock Arkansas State Fusion Center (ASFC) • Williston Vermont Intelligence Center (VIC) Chicago - Crime Prevention Detroit Detroit Southeast and Information Center (CPIC) East Lansing- Michigan Intelligence Operations Center (MIOC) Cleveland - Northeast Ohio Regional Fusion Center (NEOR.FC) Indianapolis Indiana Intelligence Fusion Center (IFC) Cincinnati- Greater Cincinnati Fusion Center (GCFC) Michigan Information and Intelligence Center (DSEMIIC) East Greenbush - New York State Intelligence Center (NYSIC) Harrisburg Pennsylvania Criminal Intelligence Center (PaCIC) Pittsburgh - Western Pennsylvania All Hazards Fusion Center (WPAHFC) Columbus-Strategic Analysis and Information O Center (SAIC) Charleston - West Virginia Intelligence Frankfort-Kentucky Fusion Center Intelligence Fusion (WVIFC) Center (KIFC) Nashville Tennessee Fusion Center (TFC) Augusta - Maine Information and Analysis Center (MIAC) Concord - New Hampshire Information and Analysis Center (NHIAC) Maynard-Commonwealth Fusion Center (CFC) Boston Boston Regional Intelligence Center (BRIC) Providence Rhode Island State Fusion Center (RISFC) Hartford - Connecticut Intelligence Center (CTIC) West Trenton - Office of the Regional Operations Intelligence Center (OROIC) Philadelphia Delaware Valley Intelligence Center (DVIC) Dover - Delaware Information and Analysis Center (DIA.C) Woodlawn - Maryland Coordination and Analysis Center (MCAC) Washington, D.C. - Washington Regionall Threat Analysis Center (WRTAC) Fairfax - Northem: Virginia Regional Intelligence Center (NVRIC) Alaston Anchorage Alaska Information Analysis Center (AKIAC) Hall Honolulu - Hawaii State Fusion Center (HSFC) Curim Agana Heights - Mariana Regional Fusion Center (MRFC) El Paso El Paso Multi-Agency Tactical Response Information exchange (MATRIX) Austin - Austin Regional Intelligence Center (ARIC) Austin - Texas Joint Crime Information Center (JCIC) Pearl - Mississippi Analysis and Information Center (MSAIC) Dallas Dallas Fusion Center (DFC) Montgomery- Alabama Fusion Center (AFC) San Antonio - Southwest Texas Fusion Center (SWTFC) Houston - Houston Regional Intelligence Service Center (HRISC) Baton Rouge Louisiana State Analytical and Fusion Exchange (LA-SAFE) Tallahassee Florida Fusion Center (FFC) Richmond-Virginia Fusion Center (VFC) Raleigh - North Carolina Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAAC) Columbia South Carolina Information and Intelligence Center (SCIIC) Atlanta Georgia Information Sharing and Analysis Center (GISAC) Orlando - Central Florida Intelligence Exchange (CFIX) Miami - Southeast Florida Fusion Center (SEFFC) Hato Rey -National Security State Information.

This resource also supports the Fusion Center Performance Program (FCPP), which includes an annual assessment process facilitated by the DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis and is designed to capture objective, standardized data for the purpose of evaluating the value and impact of the National Network of Fusion Centers.3 The MIAC is subjected to periodic physical and policy inspections by DHS regarding the storage of classified and sensitive security information. In August of 2018 MIAC was physically inspected as part of a security performance audit by DHS. It was determined that MIAC has established and implement a program that meets federal regulations and directives for the protection of classified national security information.#11Information Maine Analysis and An Center Privacy · MIAC MIAC has a privacy policy that governs its operations. After an extensive review and update to reflect best practices it was certified by the Department of Homeland Security in 2018. MIAC Advisory Board- meets to review policies and procedures and to advise on matters pertaining to the protection of civil liberties by the Maine Information and Analysis Center in its day to day operations, particularly regarding the collection and handling of information that comes into the MIAC. MIAC Advisory Board also reviews privacy audits conducted by MIAC.#12Information Maine and An Analysis MIAC Center Characteristics of a Fusion Center • A fusion center is substantively and fundamentally different from a criminal intelligence unit. • • • • A fusion center is composed of staff from multiple agencies; federal, State, county and local partners. Analytical and support versus operational- not a primary investigative unit but serve to assist other agencies in their investigations. Focused on strong partnership with federal partners - specifically with DHS and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) - along with private sector and critical infrastructure agencies. The MIAC does not initiate criminal investigations based on information they receive. Instead the center serves in a support role, facilitating when appropriate the exchange of information with law enforcement agencies who ultimately evaluate and make the determination as to whether additional action is needed or required. We are often the bridge between federal officials and state and locals. Leveraging technology and collaboration, the MIAC serves as the conduit for the exchange of intelligence and information between Maine law enforcement and Federal Homeland Security agencies. MIAC personnel do not handle or deal with judicial process (we do not engage in activity that implicates the 4th amendment or that would require a search warrant, court order or grand jury subpoena). The MIAC works with private sector entities with an emphasis on the protection of critical infrastructure. The MIAC does not have an operational (field) mechanism for the collection of information and intelligence either through covert means such as surveillance or other technological applications. Instead, MIAC personnel rely on information being submitted from law enforcement, public and private sector or through open-source research or approved law enforcement databases.#13Information Maine Analysis and An MIAC Center MIAC Organization Employed by outside Agency Grant funded Major Christopher Grotton Lt.

Once information or intelligence is received, it is documented in a 'records management system' or 'Activity Reporting System'. This system is used to document details about the information that was received, what (if any) action was taken, to whom the information was forwarded, and the final disposition of the activity or 'case'.#17Information Maine and An Analysis MIAC Center Information Process Cont.

This initiative establishes a national capacity for gathering, documenting, processing, analyzing, and sharing — SAR information through the "See Something Say Something" campaign to encourage the reporting of suspicious activity by the public and private sectors. The program uses a standardized process — including stakeholder outreach, privacy protections, training, and technology assistance to identify and report suspicious activity in jurisdictions across the country to a single focal point for sharing SAR information.5 The SAR process is critical to sharing information about suspicious activity with a potential nexus to terrorism, which can help prevent terrorist attacks and other related criminal activity from occurring. The National Suspicious Activity Report Initiative (NSI) defines suspicious activity as "observed behavior reasonably indicative of pre-operational planning associated with terrorism or other criminal activity." This definition was developed after critical input from several privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties advocacy groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).#22Information Maine Analysis and An Center Evidentiary Standard for SAR Reporting MIAC SAR e-learning - Internet Explorer https://learn.dhs.gov/llu3b17e0fe/?refresh-parent=true&OWASP CSRFTOKEN=a173adae4fa9588c) H HOMELAND 376cafa04654bc5 28 CFR, Part 23 & Functional Standard TIPS AND LEADS Mere Suspicion 28 CFR, PART 23 (CII) Reasonable Suspicion NSI INITIATIVE Fact Reliability Spectrum Preponderance of Evidence Clear and Convincing Start لممما 0% Certainty Reasonably Indicative Probable Cause SAR 50% Certainty Unclassified//Law Enforcement Sensitive R& W Beyond a Reasonable Doubt 100% Certainty +100% 2 1:25 PM 10/16/2019#23Information Maine Analysis and An MIAC Center QUESTIONS?
