Threat Assessment

The mission of many Fusion Centers is to provide threat assessment to leadership, so that law enforcement resources can be focused on high-priority threats. For example, gangs, organized crime, terrorism, and other threats all vie for the same resources, and without credible threat assessment, it is difficult to see what areas need the most attention.

Often, it is easy for Fusion Center leadership to be overwhelmed with the need to respond to more tactical day-to-day concerns, and personnel can find themselves doing DMV license lookups rather than the work supporting the true mission of the center, like threat analysis.

The Memex platform is the best threat analysis solution available. Workflows provide structure and process, advanced search, geospatial analysis, visual link charts, SAS data analytics and data management, and automation to make sure that executives at the center are notified at times necessary to review or approve a product. Additionally, by improving efficiencies on many day-to-day tasks, analysts and key personnel find they have more time to focus on strategic responsibilities, do a better job with these kinds of analysis, and thereby better inform leadership. In total, these capabilities increase the value of the Fusion Center and help achieve its strategic mission.
