Iowa Homeland Security Advisory Council
Following the 911 Event Iowa established an Advisory Council to enhance the State’s capability to coordinate the implementation of the Iowa Homeland Security Initiative.
Advisory Council – Information and Intelligence Sharing
Taskforce In the Spring of 2002, a number of agencies were
asked to participate in an Information and Intelligence Sharing task force. The purpose of the task force was to make recommendations for sharing intelligence and information between critical sectors of law enforcement, public and environmental health, agriculture, private enterprise, and emergency management.
Department of Homeland Security Grant Program FY-04
Three Parts• FY 2004 SHSGP ($22, 650,000) - The FY 2004 State
Homeland Security Grant Program is being provided to enhance the capability of State and local agencies to prevent and respond to incidents of terrorism.
• FY 2004 LETPP ($6,721,000) - The Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program (LETPP) is the result of a concerted effort to increase the level of funding available for prevention efforts, and the law enforcement communities to provide a conduit for terrorism intervention.
• FY 2004 CCP ($470,000) - provides funds to Citizen Corps Councils with planning, outreach, and management of Citizen Corps programs and activities.
Fusion Center System
The Fusion Center is a centrally focused system that is regionalized in function to serve as the “clearing house” for all potentially relevant domestically generated homeland security data and information to ensure interpretation, assessment and preventive actions.
Workgroup Key Tasks/Principles Ensure that Iowa’s Fusion Center Concept is a
solid strategic investment. Ensure that Iowa’s Fusion Center Concept builds
upon current capabilities. Ensure that Iowa’s Fusion Center Concept
contributes to the sustainability of Iowa’s homeland security strategies.
Ensure to the maximum extent possible that Iowa’s Fusion Center Concept contributes to the prevention of terrorist attacks.
Workgroup Observations Most pressing resource needs are
related to personnel and professional services
Law enforcement has the existing backbone and capability to build from (LEIN and ODCP)
