Minnesota Fusion Center (MNFC)
The Minnesota Fusion Center is Minnesota's designated state fusion center. It works with law enforcement, first responders, government agencies and the private sector to share information related to terrorism, regional criminal activity, and major incidents to improve the ability to fight crime and terrorism locally, regionally and nationally.
Like other state and regional fusion centers, the Minnesota Fusion Center enables local, state, and tribal governments to gather, process, analyze, and share information and intelligence relating to all crimes and all hazards. Specific functions include:
- Contributing information to ongoing federal and national-level terrorist risk assessments and complete statewide, regional, or site-specific and topical risk assessments.
- Disseminating federally generated alerts, warnings, and notifications regarding time-sensitive threats, situational awareness reports, and analytical products.
- Gathering, processing, analyzing, and disseminating locally-generated information, such as Suspicious Activity Reports.
- Producing or interpreting intelligence products relevant to stakeholders.
- Protecting civil liberties and privacy interests of American citizens throughout the intelligence process.
