It has become apparent that the tools in place for information sharing today may not be entirely effective at connecting the dots.
BOSTON, MA (PRWEB) April 29, 2013
The Boston Globe wrote in their front page article entitled 'Data-sharing troubles raise questions in Marathon case' on April 25th that several Members of Congress expressed great alarm that over 12 years of improvements in our law enforcement information sharing since 9/11 failed to prevent The Boston Marathon terrorist attack. The Boston Globe also reported that neither the FBI nor the CIA communicated with one another despite one of the suspects being on two separate watch lists since 2011.*
As a result of these information sharing improvements stemming from the 9/11 attacks, 77 Fusion Centers were set up around the country with the purpose of disseminating information to state and local law enforcement. The Boston Globe article also commented that the Senators’ dismay was exacerbated by the fact that it is unclear if the Massachusetts Fusion Center received direct information from the FBI or CIA.
