Future of Fused Intelligence - UK

The future of “fused intelligence” in the fight against terrorism. Peter Ship, Intelligence Specialist at crime and intelligence software provider Memex, discusses the benefits of Data Fusion Centres in the ongoing fight against terrorism. In the wake of the recent Mumbai bombings and previous national disasters in the UK,  there is a greater need for analytical-driven policing and an improvement in the way information is shared among police and law enforcement agencies in the battle against crime and terrorism. In any terror emergency, there are three simple objectives – prevention, detection and managing the aftermath – and the key to reaching all of these is relevant and timely information.
