Homeland Security Intelligence: Perceptions, Statutory Definitions, and Approaches
-
This report provides a potential conceptual model of how to frame homeland security
intelligence (HSINT), including geographic, structural/statutory, and holistic approaches.
The report argues that there is, in effect, a Homeland Security Intelligence Community
(HSIC). The proliferation of intelligence and information fusion centers across
the country indicates that state and local leaders believe there is value to centralizing
intelligence gathering and analysis in a manner that assists them in preventing
and responding to local manifestations of terrorist threats to their people, infrastructure,
and other assets. At the policy and operational levels, the communication and integration
of federal HSINT efforts with these state and local fusion centers will likely remain
an important priority and future challenge.
