Solution
1. The answer is fusion centers. Such centers are nformation sharing center, many of which were jointly created between 2003 and 2007 under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Office of Justice Programs in the U.S. Department of Justice. The main purpose is to promote information sharing between different agencies at the federal level.
