Fusion Center Concept Evolves with Streamlined Data Sharing Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, a consensus in federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial government and law enforcement formed around the need for better information sharing. The result was the creation of a network of information clearinghouses called fusion centers and the organization of the US Department of Homeland Security. Today, 80 fusion centers across the US and its territories use high-tech technology to integrate and share data. 138 Fusion centers connect information from federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies.
