Analysis for Decision Makers: Tools, Trends, and Dissemination Techniques

(Baseline Capability: I.A.9 and CIKR appendix)
13
Tuesday, March 10, 2009
Session Overview
This session will introduce a variety of analytic tools and techniques that can integrate fusion center analysis with
the collection and information sharing initiatives offered by the intelligence and law enforcement communities. 
The presenters will discuss different ways to organize and implement analytic tasks and products.  The session
will address the challenges and tradecraft of creating a strategic, long-term framework that enables fusion center
analysts to respond to their customers’ immediate needs while identifying and tracking systemic changes that
may require decision-maker attention in the future.  Themes will include dealing with the uncertainty inherent
in threat analysis and prioritization; organizing analytic efforts around issues and problems rather than sources
or organization; and communicating and disseminating key information, warnings, and insights across local,
regional, and national levels.  To anticipate and respond most effectively to the dangers facing our nation, fusion
center analysts must know how to apply critical thinking and analytic techniques to leverage their issue expertise
into assessments of how incoming data will affect the changing threat landscape.  Current trends demand critical
thinking by those who assess and warn about threats as well as those tasked to deter or mitigate their impact.

Session Overview
28 CFR Part 23 is a DOJ regulation that continues to serve as the “de facto” national standard for

33

criminal intelligence information sharing.  Yet there remains a significant level of misunderstanding about the
application of the regulation, including its impact on information gathering by information and intelligence source
agencies and fusion center information collection, analysis, storage, and sharing.  It is particularly important for
fusion centers to understand the context of 28 CFR Part 23 in the Information Sharing Environment (ISE) and its
relationship to current efforts to share suspicious activity report (SAR) and ISE-SAR information at all levels of
government.  This session explores these issues, recent developments in the DOJ proposal to amend the regulation,
and technical assistance and training resources available to fusion centers to further their understanding of and
compliance with the regulation.
