Multi-Agency Threat Coordination Platform

The Challenge

A regional fusion center serving 12 law enforcement agencies across multiple jurisdictions faced critical coordination challenges. Each agency maintained separate systems for threat tracking, creating information silos that delayed response times and complicated multi-agency investigations.

Key challenges included:

• No unified view of threat subjects across jurisdictions
• Manual processes for sharing case information
• Inconsistent threat assessment methodologies
• Complex chain-of-custody requirements for legal proceedings
• Strict CJIS compliance requirements across all agencies

Our Solution

We developed a centralized threat coordination platform that enabled secure information sharing while respecting each agency’s data sovereignty and access controls.

Technical Implementation

• Federated Identity Management – Single sign-on across all participating agencies with role-based access control
• Structured Professional Judgment Tools – Standardized threat assessment methodology with evidence-based risk scoring
• Real-Time Alert System – Automated notifications when threat subjects cross jurisdictional boundaries
• Complete Audit Trail – Every access and modification logged for legal defensibility
• CJIS-Compliant Architecture – Full compliance with FBI Criminal Justice Information Services Security Policy

Results

Within the first year of deployment:

• 73% reduction in time to share critical threat intelligence
• 156 coordinated cases that would have previously fallen through jurisdictional gaps
• Zero compliance violations across all participating agencies
• 100% audit success rate for cases proceeding to prosecution

Technology Stack

• PHP/Laravel backend with PostgreSQL
• React frontend with real-time WebSocket updates
• AWS GovCloud deployment
• Okta identity management integration
• AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit
