Standing on the Shoulders of Giants: Where Do We Go from Here to Bring the Fire Service into the Domestic Intelligence Community?
Abstract
The United States Fire Service has not only a role but a need to be included in the domestic intelligence community. With its access to untapped sources of information and intelligence, the fire service can add value to the efforts of the domestic intelligence community and in return provide value added to fire departments' day-to-day operations. Absent is a strong national guidance for fire service intelligence integration; smart practice models and local solutions have filled the vacuum. This thesis will look at the future of fire service intelligence sharing and how to pick up where previous efforts left off. Specifically, a model for a national fire intelligence framework is presented. The model considers current local level intelligence solutions within the fire service and presents a holistic approach that can meet the needs of unique individual departments.
