Fusion centers serve as focal points within the State and local environment for the receipt, analysis, gathering, and sharing of threat - related information between the Federal government and State, local, Tribal, territorial'(SLTT) and private sector partners. Building a National Network of Fusion Centers (National Network) empowers law enforcement and homeland security personnel by helping them understand local implications of national intelligence, thus enabling them to better protect their communities. A National Network also provides a mechanism for the Federal government to receive information from SLTT partners, which helps create a more complete intelligence picture at the National level. With timely, accurate information on potential terrorist threats, fusion centers can also directly contribute to and inform investigations initiated and conducted by Federal entities, such as the Joint Terrorism Task Forces led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The 2010 National Security Strategy identifies fusion centers as critical in enlisting all of our intelligence, law enforcement, and homeland security capabilities to prevent acts of terrorism on American soil. In support of this strategic vision, the Department is requiring recognized State and Major Urban Area fusion centers to participate in an annual assessment of their achievement of baseline capabilities, as outlined in the Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative's (Global) Baseline Capabilities for State and Major Urban Area Fusion VA
