Abstract:
The Ohio Homeland Security Division contributes to the prevention, detection, deterrence and response to terrorist activities in a number of ways. Central to any successful interdiction of terrorists is the ability to effectively collect and share information from many different sources.

Vital links to build intelligence on terrorist operations come from traditional agencies and from non-mainstream information services. To this end, the Ohio Division of Homeland Security has created the Strategic Analysis and Information Center to facilitate effective terrorism-related information and intelligence sharing.
