Part I: What are the strengths of a distributed homeland security intelligence production; a
federal system with independent and largely “sovereign” state, local, and tribal
jurisdictions?Part II: Is there any way that this could be made even better/stronger?Part III:
Locate the nearest Fusion Center to you via the U.S. Homeland Security link. If you are
overseas, please pick one from where you are from or your last/next duty station. Once you
find your local Fusion Center, discuss in depth the specific role/mission of that Fusion
Center.Part IV: Lastly, do you believe, based on what you now know about Fusion Centers,
that this Fusion Center is clear to the public on its mission and that it can meet the
goals/objectives needed to ensure the region is under adequate protection?Do not include
quotes in your posting since if you were in a class talking aloud, you likely would not be
using direct quotes; instead, as necessary, paraphrase what you need to convey. You need to
show me good critical thinking skills and not quotes written by others. Formulating your
own thoughts from analyzing new information and studying established work is what we
need for successful experts of the future. You must include at least one source per
paragraph and thus include it in your reference section as best as you can (hint – not just a
URL).Discussion Participation Guidelines
