Prior to 9/11, the intelligence community operated in silos and did not share information effectively. Each agency focused on their particular area of responsibility and provided intelligence information to their specific constituency, resulting in missed opportunities to prevent the 9/11 attacks.

Question 5

What agencies serve as primary focal points within the state and local environment for the receipt, analysis, gathering, and sharing of threat-related information among federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial partners?

A) Military agencies
B) State and local police departments
C) Private sector organizations
D) Fusion centers

Accepted Answer

Fusion centers serve as primary focal points within the state and local environment for the receipt, analysis, gathering, and sharing of threat-related information among federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial partners. Military agencies may also have a role in sharing threat-related information, but they are not the primary focal point. State and local police departments may receive and analyze threat-related information, but they may not have the same level of connectivity with federal, tribal, and territorial partners as fusion centers. Private sector organizations may share threat-related information with law enforcement agencies and fusion centers, but they are not considered primary focal points.
