"Executive Summary
A new institution is emerging in American life: Fusion Centers.
These state, local andregional institutions were originally created to improve the sharing of anti-terrorismintelligence among different state, local and federal law enforcement agencies. Thoughthey developed independently and remain quite different from one another, for many thescope of their mission has quickly expanded—with the support and encouragement ofthe federal government—to cover “all crimes and all hazards.” The types of informationthey seek for analysis has also broadened over time to include not just criminal intelli-gence, but public and private sector data, and participation in these centers has grown toinclude not just law enforcement, but other government entities, the military and evenselect members of the private sector.
These new fusion centers, over 40 of which have been established around the country,raise very serious privacy issues at a time when new technology, government powersand zeal in the “war on terrorism” are combining to threaten Americans’ privacy at anunprecedented level.
Moreover, there are serious questions about whether data fusion is an effective means ofpreventing terrorism in the first place, and whether funding the development of thesecenters is a wise investment of finite public safety resources. Yet federal, state and localgovernments are increasing their investment in fusion centers without properly assess-ing whether they serve a necessary purpose."
