The City of Xenia has been registered with that group since its inception. The program is not restricted to just Police and Fire; in fact, they heavily encouraged Public Service Department personnel to have a registry. Maintenance and street workers have firsthand observation capabilities. They shared what signs to look for that might indicate potential terrorist activities. He will register one or two more people on the website. The State of Ohio initiated a confidential citizen hotline to report suspicious activities. The number is 1-877-OHSINTEL (467-4683). They would like the City to be a part of disseminating information on the type of suspicious behaviors so it is specifically targeted to real threats rather than reporting someone who is simply disliked.

Texas Intelligence Fusion Center In November 2005, Texas Intelligence Fusion Center incorporated the existing Texas Security Alert and Analysis Center (TSAAC). DPS' Criminal Law Enforcement section established TSAAC in 2003 to coordinate the state's intelligence, response and warning systems.

The Intelligence Fusion Center collects, analyzes and resolves reports of suspicious activity using the ERN's suspicious incident management capability. Homeland Security Information Network The Fusion Center's "SENTRY" report uses YHD's suspicious activity report and management feature to collect the "dots" so they may be connected. The Fusion Center can immediately initiate 24/7 alert and notification to the 1,200 Texas Police Chiefs and 254 County Sheriffs within minutes through a one-stop interface.

The Utah Fusion Center is not part of the pilot project but has launched the “Intelligence Liaison Officer Program” that will train local law enforcement throughout the state. Reporting to the Legislature’s interim Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice committee about the project in May 2008, Jeff Carr, the Utah Fusion Center’s supervisor at the Utah Department of Public Safety, noted that a similar program in Colorado already had nearly 200 officers “feeding information to the center.” The Colorado program uses utility workers and employees of private companies in addition to law enforcement.

The private sector, which owns about 80 percent of critical infrastructure, needs to have real-time access to information from the fusion centers. At the same time, the fusion centers need access to "mature intelligence capabilities" in private companies, Hovel said.
