Technology Implementation - Fusion Center

The Building Communities of Trust (BCOT) initiative focuses on developing trust among law enforcement, fusion centers, and the communities they serve to address the challenges of crime and terrorism prevention.

The Fusion Center Exchange Program provides subject-matter expertise in facilitating the exchange of best practices and lessons learned between fusion centers across the country and assists in the development of a national network of fusion centers.

The Wisconsin Statewide Information Center (WSIC) has shown an interest in being a part of the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision (ICAOS) information exchange concerning potentially dangerous probationer/parolee state transfers with state fusion centers. The American Probation and Parole Association (APPA), with SEARCH, will provide technical assistance to aid the WSIC in implementing the necessary technical components to join the exchange, once WSIC has committed to participating in the exchange.
