Fusion centers must demonstrate, at a minimum, the following fundamental capabilities: • Receive: A written plan, policy, or SOP describing fusion center business processes for the receipt, handling, and storage of classified and unclassified information from Federal partners. • Analyze: A written plan, policy, or SOP describing fusion center business processes for assessing the local implications of threat-related information provided by Federal partners (DHS, FBI, etc.) through a formal risk analysis process. This process should determine what critical information needs to be provided to State, local, Tribal, and territorial (SLTT) and private sector partners to support prevention, protection, and other response- related operational planning efforts, and to inform these partners of behaviors and circumstances that may serve as pre - incident indicators of an emerging threat. • Disseminate: A written plan, policy, or SOP describing fusion center business processes for disseminating critical information to SLTT and private sector partners in the fusion center's area of responsibility. • Gather: A written plan, policy, or SOP describing fission center business processes for gathering locally generated information, participating in the NSI, and sharing pertinent information with local JTTF for investigation and DHS for further analysis. • Privacy, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties (P /CRCL) Protections: An approved P /CRCL policy to ensure that P /CRCL protections are in place that are at least as comprehensive as the ISE Privacy Guidelines, and that all staff receive training on both the center's P /CRCL policies and 28 CFR Part §23.
