Homeland Security Intelligence
Description
Homeland security intelligence is complex and challenging. The task of identifying key pieces of
intelligence and formulating an accurate threat assessment takes place every day. Discuss and
identify what specific factors should be included in devising useful homeland security
intelligence. Consider for example the following aspects: What mechanisms and systems should we
rely on, and how should we weigh and blend overseas and domestic intelligence? What mix of domestic
and overseas intelligence should be combined to form a better picture of homeland security threats?
What role should state and local governments and state-level fusion centers play in this system?
