 Arizona Counter Terrorism Information Center

The Arizona Fusion Center, also known as the Arizona Counter Terrorism Information Center (ACTIC), is a joint effort between the Arizona Department of Public Safety, Arizona Department of Homeland Security, Federal Bureau of Investigation and other participating agencies.
To support the Arizona homeland security effort the Arizona Fusion Center was established and became operational in October of 2004. The Center operates on a 24/7 basis, providing both intelligence, investigative and technical support to state, local, tribal and federal law enforcement agencies as well as other agencies critical to Arizona and the country's homeland security efforts.

Mission And Vision Statements

One of the most serious challenges impacting homeland security is the timely exchange of intelligence and critical information between state, local and federal agencies. Accurate and timely intelligence is the key to the most fundamental responsibility of government, protecting its citizens and critical infrastructures. The ACTIC provides tactical and strategic intelligence analysis and information sharing to local, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies and is the State’s central point of contact for criminal intelligence and counter terrorism issues. The ACTIC is the only nationally recognized fusion center in Arizona.

 

Mission Statement

The mission of the Arizona Counter Terrorism Information Center is to protect the public and critical infrastructures of the State of Arizona by enhancing and coordinating information sharing and providing effective, efficient, ethical, lawful, and professional intelligence and investigative support for local, county, state, tribal, federal, and private sector partners.

 

Vision Statement

To address all threats and hazards, thereby providing a safe and secure environment for the citizens of Arizona.
